Patti LaBelle’s 80th Birthday Surprise Party at Glasshouse NYC

For Patti LaBelle’s 80th birthday celebration, Event Fab helped transform Glasshouse NYC into an elegant, star-studded environment filled with custom décor, elevated staging, polished branding, and refined lighting accents. Working alongside the production team, we provided premium scenic elements, lounge zones, custom signage, and visual touches designed to complement both the space and the legendary guest of honor.

Every detail was crafted to highlight sophistication and glamour while supporting the entertainment and flow of the evening. This event showcases Event Fab’s ability to deliver high-end, white-label event production for celebrity events, private parties, and luxury celebrations across New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.

A Legendary Celebration in Manhattan

This celebration was designed to honor the incomparable Patti LaBelle on her milestone 80th birthday. Hosted at the breathtaking Glasshouse NYC, the event required a layout and design that balanced sophistication with star-level impact. The production team approached Event Fab to support key visual and environmental elements including décor, staging, signage, and atmospheric lighting touches throughout the venue.

From the first walkthrough, our focus was on elevating the existing elegance of Glasshouse while adding custom enhancements that complemented the birthday celebration. We collaborated closely with planners and show producers to understand their vision, performance needs, and flow of guests throughout the multi-level venue.

Because this was a surprise party for a global icon, timing, discretion, and precision were essential. Our team developed a cohesive aesthetic direction that tied together the stage, lounges, entry, visual accents, and entertainment components — resulting in a beautifully layered environment worthy of such an iconic celebration.

Behind the Build

Our work for Patti LaBelle’s 80th birthday began with an in-depth walk-through of Glasshouse NYC to evaluate layout options, lighting opportunities, and areas that could support impact moments. The production team provided a creative direction, and we developed a plan to translate that vision into refined scenic elements, lounge placements, stage treatments, and elevated décor moments. Attention to detail was key — every piece needed to complement the space while feeling elegant and celebratory.

Installation required precise timing and close communication with venue staff, planners, and entertainment crew. Our team worked efficiently to bring all elements together seamlessly, ensuring the environment was show-ready before guests arrived. Once complete, the space reflected a perfect balance of glamour, warmth, and sophistication — an elevated backdrop for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

The Final Experience

Elegant. Iconic. Unforgettable.

Planning & Pre-Production

The planning process began with venue evaluation, creative alignment, and logistical coordination with the event’s production team. We reviewed event flow, talent requirements, and the key moments planners wanted to highlight. From there, we assembled a detailed plan including scenic treatments, décor zones, and lighting accents, ensuring every element complemented Glasshouse NYC’s architecture.

Pre-production included developing renderings, confirming layouts, coordinating delivery schedules, and staging elements in advance. On event day, our team executed a smooth and timely installation, working in sync with audio, lighting, and entertainment teams to ensure a cohesive and polished final result.
