2nd Annual Hamptons Interactive Influencer Brunch #HIIB2019
We are taking a look back on our other event this summer we had the pleasure of producing and co-creating: Our 2nd Annual Hamptons Interactive Influencer Brunch. On July 20th, our client East End Taste hosted The #HIIB2019 at The Maidstone in East Hampton. The invitation-only event brought together influencers, actors, actresses, philanthropists, and personalities for a brunch filled with interactive activations in food, beverages, wellness, beauty, fashion, and accessories.
A portion of the proceeds went to benefit Bideawee, one of the first no-kill animal rescue centers in America, with focus on their Westhampton rescue center.
Hamptons Luxury Liner transported the notable influencers, celebrities and NYC based personalities to The Maidstone Hotel. The brunch featured many interactive stations and onsite sponsored activations. The influencers’ favorite activation was Millstone Flowers ‘make and take’ station that let guests create their own floral arrangements from locally sourced and handpicked flowers straight off their luxuriously oversized flower cart.
Attendees of #HIIB2019 were also treated to various dining options including the famed CIPRIANI who provided a wonderful selection of stationary cold hor d’oeuvres like Roasted Yellow Beet with Pistachio Crust and Mascarpone, Fresh Crab with Cucumber, Tartine with Beef Carpaccio, Bruschetta with Tomato and Basil, and Oven Dried Tomato, and Black Olive Baguette with Ricotta di Buffalo, Porscuitto, Asparagus, and Goat Cheese Roulade.
Guests sipped from an endless supply of beverages adorned with Acrylic Sticks like LaCroix Sparkling Water, Hamptons Rosé from Cellier Wines Distributing, Brew Dr. Kombucha, Eternal Water and Boxed Water. An ice cream station provided by Serendipity 3, and energy boosting ice cold Life Aid beverages were also available for guests to enjoy in the lush outdoor garden.
Guests shopped for the cause at pop-ups from ReeMat Designs and Amy Zerner who donated a portion of proceeds to Bideawee. A beauty bar featured complimentary products and touch-ups from Intoxicating Beauty, Alina Cosmetics, Sylveco USS, and Skyn Iceland.
Mary Sabo educated guests on the power of doTERRA essential oils and created custom blends for guests to take home. Amy Zerner and Monte Farber gave guests live readings and showcased their clothing and accessories collection. Photo opportunities were endless including a raffle where guests could enter to win a Life Proper satchel and a popular swing set the Maidstone Hotel was installed just for this event.
