I recently had the privilege of launching a long table gathering series here in Portland on July 18th alongside Eva Kosmas Flores and Suzanne Fuocco ! The event was a massive success and I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful evening. Weeks of event prep went into making this night happen, and it couldn’t have taken place without our brilliant sponsors, and also the helping hand of not only Eva and Suzanne, but of Suzanne’s wonderful family who hosted the event at their place, and so graciously assisted us throughout the entire evening.
Also, the lovely Danielle Firle drove down from Seattle for the day just to help us and serve. She was a delight and we couldn’t have pulled it off without her! Thanks Danielle!
And of course thank you to Eva for sharing some lovely photos in this post (noted accordingly)!
Today is the opening of tickets for our next dinner, hosted just outside the Portland area. Ticket link and further info available below:
Secret Supper September Dinner
Space is extremely limited, so make sure to book as soon as possible to secure your place with us!
As always, I love working with companies and brands locally and beyond that help represent the beauty of the evening we intended to capture.
Thank you to each of these companies for your contributions!
