Oranjestad, Aruba – On Saturday night, June 11, 2011, the Divi Resorts group hosted a select assembly of international media and film industry guests for an exclusive cocktail social sponsored by Moët & Chandon at its Windows on Aruba restaurant. The social, which was attended by Golden Globe Award–winning actress and Sex & The City star, Kim Cattrall, was an official after-party for the 2nd Annual Aruba International Film Festival that immediately followed the screening of a new film.
“It has been an honor for us to host Kim Cattrall and these VIP guests at Windows on Aruba and to support Aruba’s blossoming Film Festival,” said Alex Nieuwmeyer, Managing Director of Divi Resorts Aruba and Bonaire. “This was an excellent way for us to spotlight our exquisite Windows on Aruba restaurant as well as Divi Resorts properties on Aruba to members of the press and influential film industry VIPs.”
In addition to Moet & Chandon champagnes, the event included an open bar with a full selection of wine, beer and cocktails as well as hors d’oeuvres including tuna tataki, lobster shooters and braised lamb chops as well as award-winning dessert samplers which were passed around by waitstaff circulating throughout the venue. Festival Founder and Executive Producer Jonathan Vieira treated the crowd to a private performance of “Hallelujah,” which he sang while playing the keyboard. Shortly thereafter, Aruban acrobatic troupe, the Tamarijn Acrobats, kept everyone enthralled by their daring acrobatics, creative presentation and whimsical costumes. As a testament to the success of the event, guests enjoyed networking, mixing and mingling with each other well into the early morning hours.
For Film Festival attendees who chose to stay at the Divi Aruba All Inclusive, the Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive or the Divi Village All Inclusive Villas, the properties offered free room upgrades that provided even more value to guests. At the time of booking, the person making the reservation needed only to mention the promotional code “FILM” to receive a free upgrade. The first 15 reservations were eligible to attend the exclusive VIP cocktail party at Windows on Aruba, where they would mingle with the stars.
