DESCRIPTION
Beyond the glitz and glamour of special events, there is the important metric of guest satisfaction that will ultimately determine how the occasion is remembered. Throughout the years, I’ve been honored with having organized a multitude of extraordinary receptions and elaborate gala dinners with guest hosts; Such as Prince Albert of Monaco, the Baroness Philippine Rothschild of Mouton Rothschild, their Majesties King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofia of Spain, President William 'Bill" Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton, British Prime Minister Lady Margaret Thatcher and The Maharaja Gaj Singh II of Marwar-Jodphur, just to name a few. The secret to success in hosting signature events, and having a keen eye for the smallest of details, is to making it look seamless and effortless as all eyes are watching. Cheers! 'Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.’ First Lady The United States of America ELEANOR ROOSEVELT + Global Citizen
