1. What event would you love to attend?
It would be my dream to attend the MET Gala. I mean, isn’t everyone’s? On a more realistic note, I adore attending weddings with my husband. We have the best time getting dressed up, celebrating other couples’ love, and dancing the night away together.
2. What are your hosting must haves?
A good playlist is a must! I feel like music is the very first thing to set the vibe for any gathering.
3. What's the best party you've ever been to?
Okay, hear me out… I once attended a butter-making party. Yes, you read that correctly. A good friend of mine hosted a party at her house where we made butter from scratch and then flavored it according to our preferences. My personal favorite was the Garlic Herb Butter. It was so fun and unique, and I dream of that butter to this day.
4. I can’t go to a party without…
A killer outfit! When I’m attending a party, I want to look and feel my best.
5. My perfect party has to have…
A good beverage line-up. I am a big drink girlie, and I love sipping on something fun! It does not matter if it’s a cocktail, Mocktail, or tea party—I love a good drink offering! Bonus points if there is a creative element like a fun glass, cute straw, or delicious topping.
6. Who are your three dream dinner party guests (alive or dead)?
Cher, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edward Cullen (does he count?)
7. The song I never skip on my party playlist is…
Anything from our Queen Taylor, obviously.
8. What’s your go-to cocktail or Mocktail?
I go back and forth between a glass of Prosecco or a Tom Collins being my go-to drinks.
