Commitment extended to our event
Sustainability is at the core of our values and actions.

We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact and promoting responsible practices in all our endeavors. This commitment extends to our events, where we make sustainable choices wherever possible. We reduce transportation emissions by working with fewer vendors, resulting in fewer trucks on the road. Our event decorations feature indoor plants that can be repurposed for future events, ensuring a circular approach to design. Leftover food is donated to local food banks, while remaining florals are given to nonprofit organizations, extending their beauty and positive impact. We prioritize compostable items for catering, ensuring proper disposal after use.
