Cocktails and Conversation-NY: A Munaluchi Bride Media Event

Last week on Thursday, November 10th, we held an intimate cocktail event for our advertisers, some bloggers, and industry folks.  This was just a way of allowing people we’ve done business with in the past and hope to do business with in the future meet the faces behind the brand and get to learn more about what Munaluchi Bride has to offer.

The event was extremely successful not only because of the great mix of supporters that attended, but because of the undying dedication of our sponsors and friends that helped put this spectacular event together.  We have to first of need to thank Kay Lucas of MediaSense Solutions for breathing her breath of expertise into this event.  Without her, it would have truly been a daunting task to put together.  A huge thanks goes out to Dex of DEX New York for gracefully allowing us to host the event at his super posh Manhattan studio.  Thanks to Diann Valentine for co-hosting the event with us.  Everyone truly enjoyed your presence and loved learning about your new show “I Do Over“, which had rave reviews during it’s debut on weTV last weekend.

Throughout the event, guests enjoyed a fusion of light hors d’oeuvres, signature “Munaluchi Cocktails”, complimentary makeup sessions, and delectable desserts.  We are so grateful to Panla and especially to Melba’s Restaurant for the appetizing finger foods.  That macaroni and cheese was to-die-for, and the presentation unmatchable.  We are also excited that the Food Network was present to tape the event for inclusion in Melba’s new television show.  Look out for it early next year!  Thanks to Ilene Miriam Pastry Studio for the charming dessert station that included mini-cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries and cake pops.  Thanks to Amber of SweetAmbs, for the  custom “MBM” cookies.  Not only were they aesthetically pleasing, but they were quite delicious as well!  For our signature cocktails, we owe our thanks to Alex Trimper of Little Rascals Creative Concepts and St. Kitts Tourism for the Brinley Gold Rum they provided.  Lastly, all of the radiant decor was provided by TiannaVivienne.  We plan to organize another event like this in grander scale in the near future so we can include everyone.  Stay tuned for that…Until then, enjoy the brilliant imagery captured by Parris Whittingham of Parris Whittingham Studio.  Thanks Parris!
