About this Experience
What you’ll do:
You and your group settle into a private residence or vacation rental in Miami for an afternoon built around a chef-prepared meal and a guided wellness session, with no restaurant reservation or separate studio booking required.
Welcome Beverage - Start with a chef-prepared, non-alcoholic welcome drink that sets a calm tone for the group.
Yoga or Meditation Session - Choose a private yoga class or a guided meditation and breathwork session with Chef Vivianne before the meal.
Chef-Prepared Menu - Sit down to a seasonal menu built around your group, from a boutique brunch to an elevated grazing spread.
Dietary Customization - Share preferences ahead of time and the menu is built around plant-forward, gluten-free, or dairy-free needs.
One-Location Setup - Everything happens in your own space, so there’s no coordinating multiple vendors or moving between locations.
The pace stays slow, and the focus stays on the people in the room, whether you’re marking a bachelorette weekend, a birthday, or just time together.
Why we love it for your celebration:
Private Chef - The menu is built around your group instead of a set restaurant menu, so every course fits the occasion.
Built-In Wellness - Pairing the meal with yoga or meditation gives the group a reason to slow down before sitting down to eat.
At-Home Convenience - Hosted at your residence or rental in Miami, so there’s no travel between activities.
Group Flexibility - Packages start for up to 8 guests, with pricing that scales for larger groups.
Dietary Accommodations - Plant-forward, gluten-free, and dairy-free preferences can be built in with advance notice.
