A Cosmic Evening at The Franklin Institute
Kilpatrick Law Firm | October 20, 2025 | Philadelphia, PA
When Kilpatrick Law Firm came to us with their reception during the AAC conference, they didn’t just want a gathering—they wanted the destination event of the night. The kind of evening that professionals talk about the next morning and remember when choosing who they want to work with in the future.
Turning a Museum Into a Nightclub Among the Stars
We transformed The Franklin Institute into a glowing, cosmic lounge using a bold palette of pink, orange, and ultraviolet lighting. The atmosphere was sleek and modern — polished enough for a corporate crowd, but playful enough to spark real conversations (and a few gasps when the room first opened).
Not Your Standard Networking Mixer
Everything at this event was designed to create moments of surprise and connection:
Glow-in-the-dark furniture that changed color as guests moved through the space
A live astrologist reading tarot cards — a huge hit and major conversation starter
Ben Franklin (yes, really) greeting guests with historically inaccurate legal advice
Space-themed DJ Richy Smarts, keeping the energy high all night
Planetarium showings offering an immersive break from the buzz
Color-changing cocktails, made with butterfly pea flower — guests watched their drinks transform in real time
Custom calligraphy on scientific beaker tumblers, turning giveaways into keepsakes that were photographed, posted, and talked about long after the night ended
The Moment the Buzz Became Reality
The true measure of success? Guests started telling us mid-event that people were leaving other receptions to come to this one. It became the party of the conference — the one everyone either attended or wished they had.
Kilpatrick didn’t just host an event; they made a statement. The evening positioned their firm as modern, engaging, and unexpectedly fun — the kind of brand people want to be around.
