On October 7, we held our 4th annual showcase, and this year it was at the Montage Beverly Hills Hotel. The partnership with George Nickels and Exquisite Events was flawless and after a few visits to the hotel to design the event, we decided to host it at the 9th floor Conservatory and Grill, which has some of the most sensational views in all of LA!

The Tres L.A. Tastemaker’s Dinner at the Carondelet House was spectacular! Chef Scott McDonough created an incredible six-course dinner, wine pairing and lovely cocktails to celebrate the official grand opening of the stylish venue that was built in 1928 as an Italian villa. Carondelet House features beautiful hardwood floors, expansive rooms, exposed brick, two exterior courtyards, high exposed beam ceilings and an incredible fireplace.

The amuse bouche consisted of West Indian spiced meringue with candied walnuts, chopped apples and raisin bread. Our first course was a beautiful sliced Canadian duck breast over cranberry polenta fries. Then we were served tuna and hamachi carpaccio with bulgogi vinaigrette; liquid black truffle ravioli with sweet corn veloute and roasted porcini mushrooms; and juniper crusted elk loin with trio of spring carrots, parsnip puree and bargamot emulsion.

An Afternoon Tea at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

Recently we had the pleasure of hosting an afternoon tea and fashion show at the gorgeous Beverly Wilshire Hotel. We partnered with some of our favorite and most talented people in the event industry to create something truly unique and memorable.

The afternoon began on the stunning Rodeo Terrace which, as the name suggest, overlooks the famous Rodeo Drive and is the perfect space for a cocktail party or ceremony. We wanted to create 4 separate tents that evoked a different feel and Revelry Event Designers created some of the most gorgeous mandaps and tents we have ever seen coupled with their custom made furniture that would make you want to shop in their warehouse. We created a faux ceremony area and the mandap was a plexiglass structure dripping in stunning flowers designed by the talented Eddie Zarastian of Tic Tock Couture Flowers-something people have never seen!

An Afternoon High Tea

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of attending a proper English high tea at the perfect setting, the Langham Huntington, Pasadena. This was not just any high tea; it was aptly named Tea with E, hosted by our friend and amazing talent, Eddie Zarastian of Tic Tock Couture Florals .

The moment we walked into the Viennese Ballroom, we were awed and inspired by the incredible talents of our industry. The vignettes that were created in the room were fun and interactive for all 150 guests and reminded us of being in the Parisian country side.
