I was so excited to capture this awesome Kentucky Derby party this past weekend at the Classic Car Club of Manhattan. When I received an email with the layout of the room and saw that there was to be beer served out of the trunks of two classic cars, I was SOLD!
This colorful, detailed gala was hosted by Megan and Francesco, owners of TOBIA - Made in Italy, an Italian menswear brand. Staying true to Derby traditions, the Mint Juleps were flowing, the hors' devours were mouth-watering and the hats were abundant! And what Kentucky Derby party would be complete without its very own window to place your bets (in this case for Best Dressed Man and Best Hat for the female category). Guests also had a chance to press their luck with the actual race to see if they could walk home a few bucks richer. What I loved most is knowing that half of the proceeds from the Wager Window went towards a charity for Leukemia.
And all this while admiring some of the beautiful cars the club had scattered about the room. It was truly a great location for this fabulous event. And it wouldn't have been complete without all these amazing partners:
TOBIA - Made in Italy (custom made Italian menswear)
Goldsmith Wealth Advisors
EVOE (mixologists and beverage consultants)
Benji Kayne of kayneLIVE
INSTAPRINT (such a great company and concept for a party - instantly print your Instagram photos!)
KG FARE Catering & Events (the food and service were both outstanding)
