Lamborghini La Jolla unveiled the Super SUV, Lamborghini Urus, at Music Box Little Italy. It was the ideal venue for an ultra-premium experience. The Urus was unveiled in the foyer shortly after a surround sound presentation of the driving capabilities and exhaust notes were roaring through the speakers. Music Box had three levels of entertainment, including an Urus Configurator designated in the VIP Room on the third level where clients virtually designed their bespoke Lamborghini Urus. Music Box provided an extraordinary experience parallel to our brand values.

As an events director, I’ve worked with and seen many venues in Southern California. I can honestly say that Music Box is a top-notch space. We recently had our “Behind the Brands” event there with high-profile clients such as Sony, Adidas, and Hobie Cat Company. It was important to find a venue that matched that caliber. The space is well-thought-out, design forward and has incredible AV capabilities. Paige and the Music Box team was one of the best parts of booking the venue. They were accommodating with all the walkthroughs and quickly answered my questions. I look forward to working with Music Box on another event!

It was a pleasure working with Paige and her team to host our private Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Plus Credit Card Private Halsey Concert. Her team was instrumental in assisting our agency through the planning process. Every detail was handled efficiently and confidently. Her team steered us every step of the way and remained front and center until the very end of the event. Without Paige this event would not have been the huge success that it was. We look forward to working with Music Box in the future
