I had a fantastic New Year’s Eve celebrating with Bravo and the “Bravolebrities”. Andy Cohen and his team were kind enough to invite me and my team to plan and design the “Watch What Happens Live: Andy’s New Year’s Eve” party. We transformed the space next to their studio (home of Andy’s Clubhouse) so it [...]
For you Bravo addicts, I’m hard at work designing a New Years Eve Party for Bravo’s live broadcast of “Watch What Happens Live: Andy’s New Year’s Party”. It airs on Bravo New Year’s Eve from 10:30pm – 12:30am. I may have to TIVO Snooki’s Ball Drop but get to the Kim Zolciak Wig Drop [...]
At this recent event, I designed this dinner tent to feel like a warm yet sophisticated dining room. Because we used small 6-8 person custom dining tables and banquets, we needed a strong element to unify the room. Thus we created four over-sized industrial metal drum shades.

For this Desert in the Middle-East inspired party, I was able to have a lot of fun with the overall decor. I designed these twin camel bookshelves made to great guests entering the tent. And they smelled a lot better than real camels.

A few weeks ago I planned and designed a highly unusual but incredibly gratifying wedding. The wedding was planned in two weeks and and only 5 guests attended. It was a couple from Europe who decided to surprise their children with an American style wedding. 14 years together, the had decided it was [...]
At this recent Alice in Wonderland-inspired afternoon cocktail party, guests were kindly offered food and drinks by two of New York’s premier waiters, Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
We are very excited that one of our favorite Fete weddings was featured yesterday on the wildly successful blog Style Me Pretty. This fun, dynamic couple gave us so much inspiration when developing customized ideas for their wedding. The real challenge was taking the St. Regis, a beautiful classic, beaux-arts space, and making it feel [...]
However creating a magical experience is never about a single element. For fireworks, it is about timing, the element of surprise and pairing with the right music. At this event, guests faced the ocean to watch the couple’s first dance. As it concluded, fireworks filled the sky and the Rolling Stones “Let’s Spend the Night [...]
