"Haute Stuff," a signature drink and custom stirrer created for a surprise 30th birthday party. The client's wife, whom the party was for, loves all things fashion related and the color pink, so I developed a Vogue theme, using retro Vogue magazine covers and keeping pink as a focal color, utilizing darker shades to keep it fun, yet sophisticated.

Event Design: Special Events

This gallery includes images from surprise birthdays, rehearsal dinners, holiday celebrations, and private dinner parties. For all of these events, I provided the event design, project management leading up to the event, and on-site coordination the day/evening of the function. I specialize in custom hashtags to promote events via social media, creation of custom cocktails, development of unique menus, and procurement of vintage and designer apparel.
