Hi friends! Iām thrilled that you are here! I wanted to take a beat to introduce myself. My name is Margherita and given my name is a food, flower, and drink, it makes sense that Iām fanatic about gathering, love myself a good strong cocktail, and live for dinners surrounded by family and friends. I started this account to inspire you to host that next fĆŖte, breakout the good China (or rent it!) and spend more time with the people you love. In a busy world chasing kids around, commuting to work, trying to get dinner on the table each night, and checking off boxes on never ending to-do lists, I think we all need a place for fun. So here it is! Excited to have you following along. So much to come! -Margherita
Più di prima tāameròā£ļø
Elena and Denisās engagement couldnāt have been more magical. Inspired by the heirloom textures throughout her grandfatherās Italian home, his homemade sauce, and surrounded by 16 of their closest family members and friends, every detail felt entirely their own.
Her favorite saying, āPiù di prima tāameròā, or āI will love you more than beforeā, was important for us to incorporate in every aspect. It became a common thread woven through it all, and a perfect reflection of their love and life they are beginning togetheršļø
Congratulations you twoš„¹š¤

Iām outdoorsy when I want to be š
My 3 best tips for outdoor entertaining
1. Batch a cocktail that is ready to pour upon guests arrival. Hugo spritz with @lamarcaprosecco is always a good idea. Brownie points if you grow the mint in your own garden.
2. Set up a buffet table with a beautiful linen, food and a rattan bucket of assorted drinks. Guests can help themselves to seconds and it takes the pressure off the hostess.
3. Table lamps and lots of candlelight! Everyone feels their best in golden light. Something about candles burning always has me lingering at my table a bit longer.

Happy Motherās Day to all the moms. The most challenging, rewarding, joy filled, exhausting, thrilling, surprising adventure of all.
Sharing the highs and lows with other moms who are in the trenches with me has been the greatest gift. You all deserve to be celebrated today! And I hope you always remember to take time for yourself. Time with mom friends really fills your cup.
Outsourcing is the spice of life
Cooking for guests? Probably not going to happen.
Hosting a party? Call in the professionals.
Cleaning up? Rent so you donāt have to
This Motherās Day, give yourself the gift of outsourcing what you donāt want to do so you get more time doing what fills your cup. Mahjong, dinner with the girls, park hangs with your kids, workouts. Happy mom = happy kids.
MAY hosting always be this easy when you decide to rent your table.
We get so many questions about our process, so a more in depth FAQ video coming soon. If you are eager to host but not sure how to work with us, this little summary below should help!

If you have an idea, a goal, or a business, keep going! Youāll feel crazy most of the time, but then slowly things will start to click into place. The key is to not give up.
Footage archives because Iām most definitely not this relaxed or rested these days š
Instagram vs. reality. This will take 50% more time than you think it will.
A rainbow, unicorn, magical extravaganza for my girls turning 2 and 4. Did they love it? Maybe. Will I remember it forever? Probably.

Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed, I like to take on a project that will take others down with me š¤£
All jokes aside, the internet makes this viral paper chain decor look easier than it was. But all worth it for our 4 year old birthday girl!
