What Do We Do?

We are masters of experience. By getting to know your story, your tastes, your memories, why extra dirty martinis remind you of your dad— we cohesively integrate all the elements of a good party: the drinks, the food, the entertainment, the design, into a bespoke experience — a true celebration of what makes you, you.

With Elena’s meticulous attention to detail and Michael’s talent for transforming ideas into magic, we’re on a mission to create unforgettable moments that leave you and your guests in awe.

If you’re a non-traditional couple or don’t see your vision in the cookie-cutter wedding industry, and you want to celebrate your love in a way that is uniquely you, then we’re here to make it happen.

  • "Michael is both an artist and mad scientist in the best way. His Flavors are exciting, fresh, and perfectly balanced-we will forever be obsessed with his gochujang mezcal cocktail. At the end of our tasting, we felt heard, spoiled for choice, and excited for our wedding!"

    -Catherine and Patrick

  • "We've both been fortunate enough to be semi-frequent guests at some of the better NYC cocktail establishments over the last couple of decades (indeed, we've been lucky enough to drink many cocktails in our lifetime made for us by such luminaires as Michael McIlroy and Sam Ross, etc - yum yum!) and Michael's recipes, as well as the atmosphere he sets in presenting them, were up there with the best of them, both in terms of flavor as well as presentation and narrative. Each one of his cocktails was accompanied by a story of its origins and intents - making the experience that much more rewarding. We can't wait to drink much more of Michael's work, and hope he gets the wide recognition that he very clearly deserves."

    -Gabe and Alda

  • "I just want to highlight that in addition to being an incredible mixologist, Michael is a real joy to work with. We had a ton of fun getting to know him throughout our wedding planning process, and fully plan on forcing him to be our friend because he’s so cool. He’s extremely talented and extremely kind: the perfect combo!"

    -Colin and Aaron
