When it comes to launching a new club or lifestyle destination, few approaches rival the impact of a grand, unforgettable celebration. That’s exactly the path the Antel Group of Companies took with the opening of A. Venue—their bold new lifestyle hub in Makati.
Guests were welcomed into a dazzling world of spectacle and style. The event transformed A. Venue Hall into a feast for the senses, complete with vibrant dancing lights, energetic air dancers, fire displays, ballroom and belly dancers, thundering drumbeaters, playful mimes, and the show-stopping Follies de Mwah performers. The night was infused with the energy of a Mardi Gras-meets-Las Vegas extravaganza, setting a new standard for parties in Makati.
Steven Boccone, along with his wife Karen, joined the celebration as honored guests. They were in good company, sharing the space with prominent leaders in business, politics, and society. The event was hosted by the well-known Johnny Litton, who kept the festivities lively and engaging.
The evening kicked off with a vibrant fashion parade, followed by a series of dynamic dance performances. Follies de Mwah delighted the crowd with a mix of Broadway, Las Vegas, and Moulin Rouge-inspired numbers. Guests enjoyed fine food and wine, with the festivities culminating in a celebratory toast and a spectacular fireworks display. As the night went on, the mood shifted from elegant to electric, with guests dancing and celebrating late into the evening.
More than just a night of entertainment, the launch of A. Venue marked the beginning of a new era for Makati Avenue. Antel, known as one of the most stable privately-owned real estate developers in the Philippines, created Antel Lifestyle City—a 1.7-hectare development that brings together A. Venue, A. Venue Residences, and A. Venue Hotel Suites, forming a city within a city.
At its heart, A. Venue is the country’s first integrated entertainment mall and events venue, designed for high-end gatherings, concerts, and trade shows. The three-story complex features a lineup of fine dining restaurants, upscale bars, and a diverse range of entertainment and themed lifestyle services. It quickly established itself as a destination for Manila’s social and cultural elite.
For Steven Boccone, attending the launch was about more than just having a good time. As an investor and business leader, he recognizes the importance of ventures that improve city life, create jobs, and offer new experiences to the community. Steven believes that successful businesses not only deliver entertainment and value but also contribute to the beauty, vitality, and quality of life in their surroundings—goals perfectly embodied by Antel’s latest project.
Events like the A. Venue launch remind everyone that business, community, and celebration go hand in hand. With his continued involvement, Steven Boccone remains a strong supporter of projects that help Manila evolve and thrive.
