About this Experience

What you'll do:

Step into a celebration designed to nourish, connect, and bring your favorite people together.

The Essence combines a private chef-curated culinary experience with mindful movement or meditation, creating the perfect balance of relaxation, connection, and celebration.

Begin with a thoughtfully prepared welcome beverage before settling into your choice of a private yoga session or guided meditation and breathwork experience.

Then gather around the table for beautiful, seasonal food prepared by Chef Vivianne. Choose from a boutique brunch, wellness-inspired menu, or elevated grazing and small bites, thoughtfully customized to your group's preferences.

Whether you're celebrating a bachelorette weekend, birthday, or simply being together, every detail is designed to help you slow down, feel present, and create lasting memories.

Why we love it for your party:

Because the best celebrations aren't always the loudest ones.

The Essence offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional party itinerary, bringing together delicious food, meaningful connection, and a little time to reconnect with yourself.

It's perfect for bachelorette weekends, bridal showers, birthdays, and girls' trips where you want something beautiful, intimate, and different.

No rushing between activities or coordinating multiple vendors. Just your favorite people, a thoughtfully curated experience, and memories you'll carry home with you.
