Program Council Presents: Spring Ball at the Taj Hotel

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Suffolk chapter.

From the chic décor, breathtaking views, and elegant outfits, to the dancing and the delicious buffet table, Suffolk’s Spring Ball at the Taj Hotel was definitely a night filled with luxurious fun. 

The ballroom looked like a scene out of a movie. Beautiful draperies hung down from tall glass windows overlooking the Boston Public Garden, and glittery chandeliers floated above party guests dancing the night away. Pretty sconce lighting turned the white walls various techno colors throughout the evening, and upbeat music blared out of the DJ’s speakers. Program Council sure did pick a prime location to host this awesome event!  The Taj Boston is an absolutely delightful venue.

 

Each table was set for a feast, with a bouquet of lilacs serving as the centerpieces. The mouthwatering menu included many delectable choices: creamy spinach ricotta ravioli, chickpea tomato salad, herbed roasted chicken, yellow and red tomatoes with mozzarella, and squishy rolls.

When dessert arrived, everyone flooded the buffet once again to fill up their plates with scrumptious sweet treats.  Pistachio cannolis, white chocolate chip cookies, berry Rice Krispy treats, tiny brownie sprinkle cake pops, mini fruit tarts, and cream cheese filled chocolates covered the shiny silver trays. Decadent hot chocolate and coffee was filled into teacups upon request. Everyone was surely extremely satisfied after this meal!

 

In addition to dancing, for extra fun, picture frames were provided at every place setting. Guests posed for pictures in an old-fashioned photo booth with friends to remember the evening. I would definitely recommend the Spring Ball to all Suffolk students… its an opportunity to get dressed up in semi-formal wear, eat amazing food, and dance the night away with your friends. What better way is there to celebrate the end of spring semester!?

My name is Alexa Mellardo and I am currently a sophomore and Broadcast Journalism major at Suffolk University, located in the heart of one of the most charming cities in the world: Boston. A passionate journalist, I am fortunate to be doing what I love to do….writing! When I’m not composing articles for two awesome online publications (hercampus.com and also collegefashionista.com) and attending classes, I intern at a trendy magazine in the city. In between, I love to shop and spend time with my friends and my boyfriend. I have two addictions: shopping and cupcakes. In light of that, what better place to be than just blocks away from Newbury Street, Charles Street and Quincy Market? My quaint, vintage brownstone apartment in Beacon Hill is where my two best friends and I keep it strictly classy and fashionable. We turned our apartment into a comfy fashionable haven, and we enjoy relaxing and entertaining our friends. Living in such an awesome city provides a wealth of opportunity, fun, and culture to embrace. My dream is to one day be a respected, well-known broadcast journalist.
