A celebration was in order. Occassion? My birthday. Solution? Hire Gathar, of course.
Gathar is a concierge platform that just arrived in Los Angeles by way of Australia that connects private chefs to Los Angeles residents for an in-home dining experience of any size or capacity. When I decided I wanted to host an intimate 60-person dinner party for my birthday, Gathar was the perfect first phone call.

I had a few back and forth conversations with the Gathar team so that they could get my vibe: I'm feeling a female chef, healthy and inviting California cuisine, and most importantly, an easy and welcoming way of eating. Not a sit-down dinner, must be able to roam with your plate of food for ultimate conversation... was my starting point. The rest? Well, I don't know, they did all the work!

The theme was SOME LIKE IT HAUTE PINK and guests arrived in their best hues of my favorite color. Having a color as a theme was too much fun.

We danced all night long underneath a pink disco ball to tunes played by a local band. We drank Whispering Angel rosé wine, which is my favorite pinkest of pink drinks on the market! The night was a perfect success.
