You know summer is upon is when we?re throwing as many dinner parties your way as possible (hi, Hamptons inspired dinner!). And who better to inspire us today than a team of event pros themselves" Jesse + Alison of Alison of Alison Events Planning + Design and their team have a big emphasis on community within the industry, so their latest dinner party hosted in collaboration with Fogcutter Catering at Stable Café was all about bringing new and old friends together. Peruse all the snaps by Meg Smith to get inspired for your own gatherings!

Jesse tells it, For this event we partnered with Fogcutter Catering, who I met at a hospitality conference I was speaking at in LA. We also brought on board the talented Sammy Go of Lambert Floral Studio to produce the floral design and Found Vintage Rentals to supply all the furniture. We had such a fantastic time partnering with new and familiar vendors, deepening existing relationships and starting new ones with open eyes and a clean slate. It was so fun to bring together a wonderful group of people to celebrate the start of a new season and to launch the forthcoming wedding season with high spirits and much celebration.
There’s those stunning florals J was referring too. Props to Lambert Floral Studio on these beauties.

Chef Guillermo’s inspiration behind the menu… I love octopus, but many clients aren’t familiar, or think it’s too unique for their guests who may want something safer...
