Women, Wine, & Wisdom – Our First One Festively Networking Event!

On Tuesday, May 10, we hosted our first One Festively Networking Mixer with talented So Cal based vendors in the events and custom gift industry!

We were surrounded by so much inspiration, empowerment, and incredible women who are not only a part of @onefestively but are the very reason why we started this community!

The Venue

We were so thankful to work with the Violet Cactus in Burbank who sponsored the venue. They pulled out all the stops! The team decorated their gorgeous Petite venue with their table settings and floral runners and created an adorable pink and white balloon garland for the front entrance.

The Food

We worked with Tiffany’s catering to create a delicious spread for our guests, including:

Mini Beef Wellington
Mac and Cheese Bites
Mini Fruit Cups with individual Tajin shakers
Oriental Vegetarian Wraps
Sun-Dried Tomato wrapped with Fresh mozzarella & balsamic drizzle
Pulled Pork Sliders
Triple Chocolate Salted Caramel Cupcakes
Banana pudding shooters

OMG, the food was absolutely delicious! Someone said the banana pudding was the best they’ve ever had. Yum yum!

The Wine

We enjoyed a variety of wines from our wine sponsor, Teneral Cellars. We sampled the:

Uprising Chenin Blanc
2020 Rose
2020 Vermentino

These wines were a lovely accompaniment to the tasty bites.

As our guests arrived, we welcomed them into the space and took them on a tour of the larger venue next door, the Violet Cactus Studio, which is perfect for a bridal shower or small wedding.

The Wisdom

We hosted a fun exercise where we shared some great advice we’ve received, something we are proud of, and something we need help with. It set the stage for a supportive conversation that left us all feeling inspired to conquer all that’s to come!
