Over the weekend, we headed east for The Inaugural Hamptons Interactive Influencer Brunch, hosted by Vanessa Gordon of East End Taste and celebrity event planners Sean Koski and Brian Kelly of Ticket2Events. The event took place at Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton, New York.
We were excited to be invited to the brunch and couldn’t wait to see if the event met our expectations. It absolutely did! Not only was this an event to mingle with peers, shop, and sip and munch on the finest in foods and beverages but it was also an event that gives back! A portion of the event proceeds benefited The Retreat, Inc. The Retreat provides domestic violence and sexual assault services on Eastern Long Island.
The invite-only crowd consisted of influencers and personalities including YouTube Sensation Sean O’Donnell, Bravo TV’s Lauren Wirkus (Summer House), and Jill Zarin (Real Housewives of New York City). The event itself included interactive stations for everyone; health & wellness, beauty, fashion, and wine and spirits.
In between the many activations, guests quenched their thirst with delicious rosé from Cellier Wines Distributing, sangria by Lolea Sangria, and bubble tea from Barpa Tea. Guests were also given the opportunity to shop at designer trunk shows from India Hicks and Anuja Tolia Jewelry. Everyone really enjoyed the custom jewelry station from b Floral, where you can handpick one-of-a-kind accessories from the fun brand.
Before the brunch ended, guests received a hefty swag bag from Nest Seekers, stuffed with tons of products from Kopari Beauty, Welly Bottle, The Daily Edited, and specialty brands like Alka-White, Dylan’s Candy Bar, Zellee Organic, Jeunesse Skincare, and so much more!
It was a great day to kick off the weekend in the Hamptons.
