Her musician brother, Chad Livingston, played an acoustic set during dinner. Reagan suggests situating any live entertainment about seven to 10 feet from the table so the sound doesn’t overwhelm conversation.In addition to the fabric draped around the piazza, The Social Spool added a panel along the wall, creating a clean backdrop. “We knew that the table would have a lot of dynamic interest so we needed to simplify the surroundings,” says Reagan.Havana NightsHavana NightsHavana NightsHavana Nights
