A room like this takes a small army of talented people who know how to work together.

Floral is installing as lighting is being perfected, catering is preparing for service, and every detail has to connect to the larger experience. There’s constant communication behind the scenes and a lot of trust in everyone doing what they do best.

By the time guests walk in, all of that work becomes one beautiful room, ready for dinner, conversation and a really great party ✨

I say “saving the world one party at a time” with a wink, but I mean the heart of it.

There is something genuinely powerful about gathering people well. Giving them a reason to put everything else down for a few hours, sit at the same table, laugh loudly, dance badly, reconnect, celebrate, and remember how good it feels to be together.

That kind of hospitality matters to me. So does creating the space for it to happen✨

A beautiful dinner under the Tuscan sun? Count us

A beautiful dinner under the Tuscan sun? Count us in, always.

Especially when it involves one very long table in the garden, chandeliers hanging overhead, and the kind of view that makes everyone consider extending their trip indefinitely.

Kit and Vinny, you really know how to throw a party.
