The 2011 NCLR ALMA Awards capped off the star-studded show taping with the official People En Español/NCLR VIP Post-Party on Saturday, September 10 at the Santa Monica Place in Santa Monica, California. This is the second year that People En Español and NCLR teamed up to present the official after-party to congratulate and celebrate the evening’s ALMA Awards winners.
After an entertaining and energy-filled show, celebration of some of the most prolific Latinos in the entertainment industry moved right into the VIP Post-Party, where celebrities, industry influencers, and NCLR leadership toasted and danced the night away with the help of Grammy and ALMA Award–winning Los Angeles-based band Ozomatli. Eva Longoria, Co-Host and Executive Producer of the ALMA Awards, continued her hosting duties, welcoming celebrity guests and engaging the help of friend and Moët spokesperson Kate del Castillo in leading a champagne toast to the ALMA Awards honorees.
The VIP Post-Party was produced by Benjamin N. Torres of The Event Division, Inc. in partnership with NCLR. Attendees were welcomed by the evening’s co-sponsors from the moment they arrived. A 2011 Chevrolet Corvette greeted guests as they walked the path of past ALMA Awards honorees, and party goers could drop off their phone at the AT&T charging station on their way to grab a glass of Moët champagne, or a Pepsi for the night’s designated driver. It was a spectacular evening that allowed guests an opportunity to mingle, network, and dance under the stars at the beautiful Sonoma Wine Gardens and the upper dining deck of Santa Monica Place in Santa Monica, CA
