The Ralph Brennan Restaurant Group catered the Patron Party, accompanied by entertainment by the Sons of Jazz Brass Band. In addition, The Essentials performed at the main event.

A commissioned portrait by Newton Reynolds, a private dinner with Sous Chef Patrick Brennan and original artwork by Sidonie Villere were featured auction items.
