Le Supper Club is about the art of a dinner party. The theatre of dining.
These are the foundations for my creations. Dinner parties, for me, are an artform. It is all about the theatrics of the night, the way it all comes together. The theme, the menu, the storytelling and the aesthetics. I strive to create an experience, transporting myself and my guests to a whole new place entirely through electric tablescapes and unique menus. I often lean into nostalgia and tradition for my evenings, inspiring new ideas from the memories of my childhood, visuals of favorite films and flares from a bygone era. Ultimately, it is all about the scene that I set and the sensations that it all is intended to evoke.
To host and to invite guests into my world. My mind. My creativity – It is something that is innately built into me. Something that I have forever been drawn to. Soirées and dinner parties are not only a love language for me, but an expression of myself. Each and every table I set, every buffet I imagine and every menu that I dream up is a chance to put on display, my love, my passion and my creativity. These nights are the visions that dance endlessly in my head. A culmination of flavors, colors and tableaus that I simply cannot keep to myself.
Through the petite worlds that I create, I hope to inspire others to lean into ‘the theatre of dining’, to host unforgettable evenings filled with laughter and memories that will nourish and invigorate the soul. For a chance to invite those that I love to experience my art, and to share my visuals and musing in hopes to spark inspiration in others, is simply intoxicating.

A bit of history.
We all love a good le dîner party, a summertime soirée, a flirty fête… but the idea of creating something stunning can feel a bit daunting. An unobtainable picture has been painted making the thought of hosting in smaller or unconventional spaces feel next to impossible. But I am here to tell you, it's all a lie!
I have spent the 12 or so years hosting mini fétes in studio apartments where for several years, my invitations included B.Y.O.C. (bring your own chair… not joking!) And it was in my 380 square foot apartment with a matchbook sized kitchen and adjoining breakfast nook that some of my most magical microscopic dinner parties occurred.
I have since graduated from studio living to a one bedroom and though there is more space, I still have a petite breakfast nook with a cozy velvet banquette and a narrow 1920’s table… It’s more Parisian Café than proper dining room, and yet, I couldn’t love it more. My soirées are often unconventional in a way that is utterly me, oftentimes an elaborate homemade dessert is paired with take-out burgers and fries and a frosty martini. It’s the unexpected high/low element that I personally love to lean into and find so satisfying. And it is within that authenticity, I have discovered, that the true success of a dinner party exists.
Because no matter the size, venue or menu, hosting is a form of expression... Personal taste and style, a bit of aesthetics and a killer guest list is all that you need. So, whether you are hosting a cute game night featuring chips & dips, or an intimate soirée sporting a caviar cocktail hour followed by a four course dinner, Le Supper Club is all about discovering inspiration and unveiling those hot hosting tips to make your dinner party dreams come true.
