The Exchange 2014 Opening Reception

Boston is a city full of rich history and colorful characters. With so many different neighborhoods and wonderful things to see and experience, it’s no wonder so many people seek it out as a desired destination.

When the attendees of the Vision Source Exchange 2014 come to town, they are welcomed into Boston city with open arms at this vibrant and exciting themed cocktail reception.

Republic Ballroom | Southie

Upon arrival in the Republic Ballroom, guests can walk straight into one of Boston’s most famous neighborhood bars: The L Street Tavern of the predominantly Irish community of South Boston.

Made famous by the film ‘Good Will Hunting’ directed by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, this replica showcases the outside of the tavern on one side and serves as a fully functioning bar on the other.

Republic Ballroom | Chinatown

A visit to Boston isn’t complete without experiencing the culture and flair that Chinatown has to offer. Guests will love this area of the event, complete with a fabulous replica of Boston’s famous Chinatown arch. Tables topped with Chinese rock gardens and foo dogs will set the stage for wonderful lounging and networking throughout the night.

Grand Ballroom | Cheers Bar

Guests will love visiting the iconic bar where everybody knows their name! This 14 foot square cherry wood bar with brass foot rests is an exact replica of the original Cheers Bar. Holding up to (5) bartenders at a time, this fully functional bar has ample under bar storage and includes an overhead glass rack, an enlarged replica of the famous sign that “points” customers to the bar, twelve authentic Cheers barstools and sports memorabilia for an authentic pub feel. Pricing includes the giant overhead “Cheers” hand that can even be customized with the Essilor’s logo!

Independence Ballroom | Waterfront

Boston has a wealth of maritime history. Across the way guests can practically smell the salty air as they walk over to Fisherman’s Wharf.  Complete with a 16’ lighthouse with a rotating beacon scanning the ballroom’s perimeter from its glass housing, this dimensional prop is going to create drama and height in the space. Up close, guests enjoy the fine detailing of this charming lighthouse and notice beach treasures washed up on the surrounding island of faux rocks.

Grand Ballroom | Fenway Park

Positioned against the ballroom’s main wall is a replica of Fenway Park’s famous Green Monster. Guest will feel live and up close with this replica which comes complete with a 6’ x 6’ Essilor sign and lit scoreboard

Grand Ballroom | North End

The sights and smells of Boston’s North End will be featured as guests stroll past an Italian Bistro Vignette, featuring stucco and brick walls and a striped awning.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

My annual eye exam is always an excellent experience with Dr. Danielle Dyke. The exam is always thorough, and Dr. Dyke takes the time to explain my eye health in a way I can understand. The Vision Source eye clinic is modern, clean, and the staff is very welcoming. I always feel comfortable and well-cared for at my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Dyke and Vision Source!

Patricia G.

Dr. Schauer did an amazing job getting my eye infection cleared up. As I sat in my room waiting my turn, because I had a last minute appointment, I could hear her working with a family next door that had young kids.

Fred S.

Whenever I have had eye issues, they have made efforts to get me in asap. Which I really appreciate. I have had Dr. Aberle and Dr. Dyke and they are both excellent. Recently, I saw Dr. Aberle for a chronic eye problem in one eye & he fixed the problem. Honestly, it felt like a miracle. The office staff is also very pleasant to deal with.

Sheila S.

I've literally been a lifelong customer since 5th grade when it was Dr. Little! Dr. Schauer has taken over since Dr. Little retired. It's always a good, friendly experience with all of the staff there. I've never had a bad experience.

Bill S.

The front desk people are very nice and friendly got called in to see Wayne before my appointment time Vision Source has very friendly staff and the clinic is very clean will always be a patient to Vision Source.

Deborah C.

I was greeted by the front desk very efficiently. The person who did the first part of my history and did the testing like the little spritz in my eyes, etc, was very good. I really like my eye doctor, I feel that I get all my questions answered as well as she explains what she is seeing when she is examining my eyes.
