The evening began with rounds of our Signature Cocktail, Bathrub Gin Fizz, (more on that in part 3 of the post series) and hors d’oeuvres created by Executive Chef Louis Pechan.  Clients were able to relax and explore a variety of decor from fantastic vendors such as Found Vintage Rentals, who brought a rustic, cozy feel to the Garden. Stay tuned as we spotlight them in the weeks to come- they helped made it a very memorable evening!
