If the Chestman Family founded a Golf Club—and C If the Chestman Family founded a Golf Club—and Charlie was the Chairman of the Board—its vibe would be this: a little bit Caddyshack, a little bit Wolf of Wall Street, a little bit glam, a little bit retro—and a whole lotta fun. The Lawn Club in NYC’s South Street Seaport was the prime location for a Chestman Country Club takeover. 

Upon arrival, they picked up their seating cards set among a fairway installation and enjoyed a chuckle as they perused the Board of Trustees Wall—iconic, playful, and yes: tongue-in-cheek. The walls were adorned with family photos inspired by Slim Aarons’ Kodachrome style, shot earlier this summer at the family’s home (See Part One on our social feed). 

At cocktails, Charlie’s friends enjoyed The Lawn Club’s innovative games on Chuck’s Back Nine: Putting Pool, Lawn Pong, Putting Darts, Curling, courtside basketball, and blackjack. Adults sipped Extra Dirty Partinis.

As they got ready to tee off for an evening of fun, the curtains revealed a Par-Tee on the Greens! Stunning florals in ridged glass hung from the ceilings as guests found their seats with a shot of tequila & lime bearing their name. On the menu? Surf & Turf, Chestman Style.

Charlie’s Golf Cart Entrance was one for the record books! And everyone knows that a truly great golf club also needs a Locker Room Photobooth. The caddies and Charlie’s Angels on the dance floor from Untouchable Events kept the party rocking from start to finish. 

Good game on the way home: fuzzy golf pants, golf balls, tees, Titleist sleeves, and an endless supply of Hole-in-One Dunkin’ Munchkins Cups.

When Amy Shey-Jacobs of @ChandelierEvent and @Jess When Amy Shey-Jacobs of @ChandelierEvent and @JessChestman of @Chestmanart came to me with the concept of a Slim Aarons inspired Golf and Tennis club for Charlie’s pre Bar Mitzvah photoshoot, I sank my teeth into the idea with crazy excitement. We collaboratively approached the shoot with the intention to re-create an “era” where Slim Aarons’ photographic artwork defined the “good life” encapsulating the elegance and carefree spirit of the mid-20th century high society. 

The green color palette and the look of slide film played a big role in mood-boarding the concepts so enjoy today’s “Part One” from this super fun and creative collaboration.

BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY: We whisked the radiant Ju BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY:
We whisked the radiant Juliet and her guests on a jet-setting journey around the world—without ever leaving Greenwich, CT.

Juliet’s favorite cities and cuisines would become our muse for planning the event. Every destination she’s explored, every bite that delights her, and of course, her favorite color—purple—all came together to inspire this wanderlust-filled Bat Mitzvah. From Paris to Morocco, Prague to London, Jerusalem to New York, this internationally inspired celebration was as curated and elevated as it was heartfelt.

Guests were greeted with a glamorous “arrival” display—luggage adorned with deep amethyst blooms à la the Four Seasons Hotel George V, Juliet’s favorite Parisian escape. Her friends explored our custom “Pretty Your Passport” experience, and adults enjoyed a culinary journey across the continents—from passed amuse-bouches to a true mixology experience.

Never ones to miss a sentimental touch, Juliet’s parents gifted her magnums of Burgundy wines for guests to sign—meant to be opened on her 21st birthday. As Jordan so perfectly said, “Hope it ages as well as she will.”

Inside the ballroom, Parisian purple candelabras, billowing orchid centerpieces, and plum blooms sat atop gold mirror tables with velvet linens and glowing Moroccan lanterns. Above the violet-and-gold checkerboard dance floor, gilded balloons shimmered. Even the photo booth became an experience—modeled after their favorite travel memory.

Juliet & Family—thank you for inviting us into your story and letting us craft this adventure with you.

THE DEN • NYC: This one-night-only Black Tie tak THE DEN • NYC: This one-night-only Black Tie takeover of the iconic landmark venue The Pool & The Grill honoring Hayden by @chandelierevent was designed to transport guests to a Monaco-inspired evening designed to wow the senses.

The night started with a havdalah service in-the-round atop The Pool. At the conclusion, a hip hop gospel flash mob broke out with a mashup of Teddy Swims “Lose Control” and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” • There was no doubt that more extraordinary experiences would soon unfold.

At cocktail hour, guests imbibed on Pappy Van Winkle and dined on prime rib, sushi and caviar hand rolls to the tunes of a live hip hop band. Monte Carlo gaming tables, VR snow racing and ping pong made it a total vibe right out of the gate.

Then, the chorus broke out into Drake’s “Nice for What!” as family and friends returned to The Pool for dinner featuring Carbone spicy rigatoni, filet and Dover sole while the dancing never stopped to the tunes of DJ Neza.

Performances popped up throughout the night: a pop-and-lock laser show with astartecreative & @cloud9avp, @yarden_saxophone and the ultimate surprise guest @lilmabu!

Guests enjoyed the illusion Photobooth, The Den swag store and the late night candy and Parm sandwich carts on the dance floor.  They departed with breakfast for the next AM: waffles from Hayden’s favorite spot in Vermont & bagels from Sadelle’s.

A night at THE DEN guests will never forget!

When Zach came to Amy at @chandelierevent, he told When Zach came to Amy at @chandelierevent, he told her about his love of that old New York, rat-pack, high roller-life, mobster movies and all things NYC. They dove in and transformed Edison Ballroom into Stein’s — a red sauce, white table cloth mafioso supper club straight out of Goodfellas! 

As guests found their seats with their own Sardi’s caricature, they were wined & dined in the swanky establishment, featuring rich red velvet, old school tile floors, caviar, bourbon and tequila and a choice of a steakhouse burger & chicken Milanese. 

Zach received the ultimate surprise from his parents, an appearance from his hero @harrymack, one of the world’s most talented freestyle rappers. 

And what else does one need after dancing the night away at on opening night at Stein’s—a trip to a bonafide bodega! It was pandemonium and it was perfect.
