“We had a fantastic experience at the Brava theater for the release of our new film. The party was a tremendous success, and everyone was so impressed that we had it at such a beautiful venue. The film looked spectacular on the big screen, the lobby is perfectly suited for an elegant reception, and - most importantly - the people at Brava are truly delightful to work with.”

Our audiophile-quality Meyer sound system features a Soundcraft Si Performer 3 digital sound console, and our versatile house lighting plot adapts to a wide variety of looks.
