Our Fifth Annual Girls Night Out Galentine’s Day was everything we hoped it would be and more.
Over 150 women gathered in one room in the heart of Jacksonville for a night that felt electric, joyful, and deeply connected. There is something powerful about that many women choosing to show up for themselves at the same time. It is rare. It is special. And it is exactly why we continue to create this event year after year.
A Night That Felt Different From the Start
From the moment guests stepped onto the red carpet at History Hall, the tone was set. The space was transformed into a true Girls Night Out experience, complete with florals, statement balloon installs, uplighting, elegant pipe and drape, and a dance floor that quickly became the center of it all.
Women arrived dressed up and glowing. Some came with their best friends. Others came solo and left with new ones. That is the magic of this night. It creates space for connection in a way that feels natural and effortless.
Powered by Radiant Skin & Laser
A very special thank you goes to our title sponsor, Radiant Skin & Laser. Their partnership helped elevate every part of the experience.
Radiant Skin & Laser is a premier Jacksonville med spa dedicated to helping you feel confident and beautiful from the inside out. They offer a range of rejuvenating services including advanced skincare treatments, laser hair removal, body contouring, injectables, and more. Their focus on personalized care and results-driven treatments perfectly aligns with the empowerment and self-care spirit of Galentine’s Day.
Their partnership allowed us to create an experience that felt intentional, luxurious, and uplifting for every woman in attendance. We are incredibly grateful for their belief in this vision and for helping us make this night unforgettable.
The Details That Made the Night
The energy never dipped thanks to DJ Kiki, who kept the dance floor full from the first song to the very last. The 360 booth from 360 Photo Fiesta captured endless laughter and dance videos. The permanent jewelry station was packed all night, giving guests something meaningful to remember the evening.
Fantasy Hair by Jen added sparkle with hair tinseling. Catered Carts brought nostalgic fun with their cotton candy cart. Fire Sacral Flow mesmerized the crowd with stunning dance and fire performances. Jazzy Krab delivered incredible food that guests could not stop talking about. Brownie Points added the sweetest touch with beautifully crafted desserts. The Beverage Truck served fun drinks and mocktails that matched the energy of the night perfectly.
Every vendor played a role in creating an immersive, interactive experience. It was not just a party. It was a full production designed to make women feel celebrated.
Why This Event Matters
There are very few opportunities in adulthood to bring 150 women into one room for something that is purely about connection and joy. No competition. No pressure. Just celebration.
In a world where we are constantly busy, this night serves as a reminder that community still exists. That friendships can be formed. That dressing up just because you want to is reason enough. That celebrating yourself is worth it.
As the founder of Pompy Portraits, I believe gathering women like this is part of our responsibility to the community that supports us. Beyond photography and business, we are committed to creating experiences that empower women to take up space confidently and fully.
Events like Girls Night Out are not a one time thing. They are part of how we contribute to Jacksonville in a meaningful way.
