In the heart of Beverly Hills, amidst the gleaming lights and the perpetual buzz of Hollywood glamour, this year an event unfolded as we got ready for the 2024 Emmys. This was one that set a new benchmark for elegance and innovation in bringing classy brand promotion to the classy cats of Tinseltown. This year’s premier gifting lounge, orchestrated by Heather Marianna and aptly named “Harvest,” took place at the iconic Beverly Hills Marriott. This wasn’t just another event; it was a celebration of creativity, community empowerment, and sustainable luxury that captured the essence of modern Hollywood charm.

Heather Marianna, renowned for her visionary approach to beauty and lifestyle through the Marianna Group, outdid herself with this latest endeavor. The Harvest event became a melting pot for celebrities, industry influencers, and groundbreaking brands, showcasing an unmatched level of sophistication and style. From the organic allure of Dulce Vida Tequila to InStyler Brands’ commitment to prioritize its community support on the same level as its premium quality focus, each Harvest brand echoed the event’s ethos of quality and consciousness.

Dan Fugardi, founder of F22 Growth Advisors and CEO of InStyler Brands, represented his company’s community spirit at Harvest. Fugardi announced plans to put a personal touch in more localized territories like Vegas, Nashville, and Denver, including new partnerships with the local authorities like The Hair Store, run by Denver’s Peter Kim. Fugardi’s fourth major event this year highlighted his dedication to making a difference behind the scenes similar to other key players in the brand management space, like Bill Corrigan of Tripoint Brands, and Vicky Nguyen of Fairiche advanced skin care. Corrigan was quick to attribute the evening’s success to strategic brand placement but was quick to applaud Heather Marianna as “the true star of the show,” emphasizing her unparalleled ability to create something truly spectacular.

The guest list read like a who’s who of Hollywood royalty – Maria Conchita Alonso brought her star power alongside former NBA sensation John Salley; Larry Namer, founder of E! Entertainment; Sofia Milos; Larry Kasanoff known for his work on Mortal Kombat among other hits; Celeste Fianna adorned with five Emmy Awards, and the list went on Christiana Leucas, Damien ‘Big Percy” Roderick, Eugenia Kuzmina, Gianni DeCenzo, Abby Rosehill, Gregg Daniel, Irina Dubova, Jenilee Harrison, Kate Linder, King Moore and so many more. These guests added the extra layer of prestige to an already stellar evening.

Travel was on the agenda with Laguna Beach’s luxury hotel La Casa Del Camino offering two-night stays, and an exclusive trip to Sommras winery in Napa.  

Dave’s Killer Bread offered gourmet delights while Octava introduced their latest audio innovations. HiBy brought high-fidelity music experiences into sharp focus alongside Carbone’s fine foods offering culinary excellence. The cosmetic wonders from KED Cosmetics met attendees’ desires for organic beauty solutions head-on.

This sentiment perfectly encapsulates what Harvest aimed to achieve – not just a showcase but a platform for brands committed to making an impact.

Heather’s products stood out as epitomes of care blended with luxury – exactly what today’s discerning clientele seek.
