The Ambrose Hotel in Santa Monica was buzzing with invited guests and top-notch vendors for IGNITE: A Fire Luxury Gifting Lounge.
It was a great way to kick off Oscar Weekend on a sunny Thursday, and a fitting tribute to the late, beloved publicist Doris Bergman, who was well-known for her awards gifting suites over the past decade.
Presented by Nicole Lester and Heather Marianna, founders of the Merritt + Marianna Group, the all-day event featured a number of unique, luxury brands that were gifted to guests including Oscar nominees, presenters, previous winners and entertainment industry VIPs.
Among the participating brands were Dulce Vida Tequila, Ophora Water, Empress Gin, ATA Cosmetics, Camilla Seretti Jewelry, Precious Vodka, Hidden Hills Coffee, Art Lewin Bespoke Menswear, Beauty Kitchen, Farah Brushes, Blanche Lip Gloss and Barbie Layton.
Chef Katie Chin supplied gourmet Asian-fusion cuisine and guests flocked to check out the Quantum Energy Wellness Bed, perfect for a long weekend of awards season celebrations ahead.
