 Since our first event for the residents of Jade Ocean back in 2013 things have changed, it is not the same. It Is actually getting more and more fabulous each time; this community really knows how to have a good time. On Friday, July 24 we had another opportunity to produce an event for them, bringing our Luxury Lifestyle Showcase event series to their home in Sunny Isles.

At the last event, we used the building’s driveway and lobby as a venue, this time we went back to the spectacular pool area overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the 90% chances of rain forecasted that day, we had to play safe and set up all our luxury brand partners in the indoor restaurant area, right by the pool. Jade Ocean’s on point management and concierge teams, along with the president of the homeowners association, who are always involved in the logistics process of their events, had the vision to set up an outdoor bar using a tent as an extension of the indoor area, allowing guests to enjoy the outside space while having a safe option in case that it rained. 

 The result was another spectacular private social function where Jade Ocean residents enjoyed exquisite food, an endless flow of champagne, wine, whisky and great music. A selection of luxury brands from our portfolio of preferred partners showcased their products as the lifestyle showcase component that gives the name to our event series. Brands included Hublot, Adriana Hoyos, Lladro, Lou La Vie, Ferretti and Lalique.

  The food was graciously provided by Corsair, Il Mulino New York and Ikra. The indoor bar poured fine wines including the new Italian Murano Wine, the award winning Notorious Pink rose, and Fat Trout Whisky. The outdoor champagne bar was fully branded by Veuve Cliquot, including umbrellas, pillows and champagne buckets. 

The gift bags included items from our luxury brand partners and additional gifts from the Miami Institute for Age Management and Intervention and Kiehl’s Aventura.
