California Sunset Reception

Welcome to the PRA Newsletter, your go-to source for all things related to San Diego’s business events. In this edition, we are thrilled to highlight a recent event that was part of our impressive 3-wave program. One of the standout events in this program showcased our exquisite California Sunset look, meticulously crafted by our talented designer, Cecilia Forsyth. This captivating theme was inspired by the hues of a California sunset to complement the sky-like carpet in the prestigious 11,700-square foot Grand Ballroom at Park Hyatt Aviara.
