However, in the weeks leading up to and post this production the meetings took on a new life, with each entity realizing that together they were not only complete, but progressive, prompting us to commit to collaborative efforts in the future.We aim to create a version of Washington, DC nightlife that offers a different and desired aesthetic and feeling from the standard club options, melding hip-hop with electronic dance music, soul classics with 90s r&b, and the like, for an audience with varied tastes, style, and background.  Too often, the focus is no longer on the customer, but on the customer’s monetary value. The Grandiose Group seeks to create a lasting, memorable experience, delivering the best in all audio and visual entertainment, in a most engaging manner.-The Grandiose Group"
