Throwback New Year’s Eve: Party like it is Y2K!

I will admit that one of the joys of New Year’s Eve is, after so many of them, they begin to all blend into two categories: those we like; those we don’t.

Looking at the spectrum of offerings in our city, it was easy to land at SpeakEZ’s celebration for a host of reasons.

One, SpeakEZ’s past events have always delivered on the best of our local talent in an intimate setting where happy memories are recorded often. Need proof? If you were at the Adele tribute concert with vocalist Noddea Moore Skidmore then you know what I mean. This venue attracts such amazing talent on a regular basis. 

Secondly, while I typically loathe theme parties, SpeakEZ doesn’t fall into the trap of overworking a concept, instead keeping things light and accessible. This year, with a theme of partying like it is New Year’s Eve 1999 on the eve of Y2K, we can just see the revelers anxiously sipping cocktails nervously as the clock inches towards midnight. Will the big ball drop, or will it be a errant satellite instead that descends upon our partying revelry is all part of the fun of reliving this moment of time.

Lastly, while you enjoy the music of the 90s under the direction of band director Scott Patrick Bell, you can expect for the low cost of only $55 per person admission to the party, which includes live entertainment and a three-course meal with a midnight champagne toast. 

Reservations are available from 7:00pm – 9:00pm and can be made by calling SpeakEZ NOW at (616) 458-3125.

We understand that in featuring one event to consider attending this New Year’s Eve that we will most certainly be avoiding the other options to engage in locally. The key is that if you want to attend a festive occasion this year, please seek one out because, for the first time in our history, we have more events than we have space to feature them all here in Rapid Growth. The trick is to not sit at home this year. Get out and experience your city as you welcome in the new year.


Admission: $55 per person
