I recently had the opportunity to work with Josh Friedman of Elan Artists in planning the most spectacular 13th birthday party in Greenwich. Kids were treated to a night of entertainment from the minute they arrived. Greeted by a rock wall, and bungee jump, jousting, boxing, craft stations (where they could design their own football jersey or flip flops) basketball hoops, and the most incredible surprise "stomp" style performance that set the tone for a night of dancing. Eric Visa was a master behind the table spinning the hottest music, mixed in with the lead singer of the Hudson Project, and electric violins from three of the most talented ladies I know. Music rocked well into the night! It was a celebration I am sure they will never forget.
Peter Callahan and his incredible team were amazing, the way the food is presented is always a wow! They are true masters in the art of food. I especially loved the mini fish tacos and tiny patron margarita shooters that were passed to the adults. Brilliant!

This past week we came together to host an event on Wedding Row (104 & 110 East Main Street in Clinton, CT) with some of our favorites in the industry. The event featured a book signing and launch of Karen Bussen's latest book Simple Stunning Bride (which includes images shot at the White Dress by the Shore and a chapter written by Beth Chapman), and also kicked off a weekend trunk show and launch of Modern Trousseau's latest bridal collection, which is just absolutely gorgeous!
Some of my favorite highlights of the evening were shared with our incredible partners in hosting. A very special thanks to Karen Bussen, Modern Trousseau, Hana Floral Design, Elan Artists, Ana Parzych Custom Cakes, Given Chocolates, Bruce Plotkin Photography, Foe an American Bistro, Chamard Vineyards, The Bee and Thistle Inn, and Rentals Unlimited.

The Riverknoll, One of the homes on the property, next to the tennis courts and event site. Great for large families, the bridal party, or for a rehearsal dinner. I immediately fell in love with this house!
On my recent getaway to Buttermilk Inn and Spa we had the opportunity to tour the property to see what it would be like to host an event/wedding there. The grounds are just incredible! I was blown away by the natural beauty. It is the perfect destination venue (just under 2 hours outside of NYC) for someone looking for an outdoor, farm like setting, where you can enjoy the privacy of renting out the entire inn for a weekend of events. The guest rooms are stretched between several buildings on the property all with their own unique charm and architectural style. And for brides looking to relax prior to the wedding the spa is pure bliss.
