Heather Marianna’s LA ‘Harvest’ Elevates 2024 Emmys Week

By: Stress Free Press

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.

What truly set Harvest apart were the brands – each chosen meticulously by Heather Marianna for their unique contribution to health, awareness, luxury and quality. 

Food and beverage sponsors included Tamada Hospitality, Gelato by Patrizia, Or Noir Caviar, Wiens Cellars, Mar de Frades; Cardinal du Four de Rébellion Armagnac; 1.0.1. Vodka, Empress 1908 Gin, Weber Ranch Vodka; and coffee and supplements by The Root Brands.

Empowering women were featured with books and projects by Polish the Mirror with Amy Thurman and her book Finding My Hero Within, Deborah Drummond’s MISSION ACCEPTED: 262 Women – Creatives, Ultrapreneurs & Media, Damsel In Defense, whose mission is to put products in women’s hands to protect them and rescue girls from sex trafficking, and The Global Resilience Project.

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.

And speaking of beauty heads, you’ll find them @instylerhair, as InStyler Brands was generally described by the collective as one of the companies making a positive splash this year. This sentiment perfectly encapsulates what Harvest aimed to achieve – not just a showcase but a platform for brands committed to making an impact.

Of course, one cannot discuss Harvest without mentioning Heather Marianna’s own Beauty Kitchen – a testament to her dedication not only as an organizer but also as a pioneer in sustainable beauty solutions. Heather’s products stood out as epitomes of care blended with luxury – exactly what today’s discerning clientele seek.

As guests mingled among the  trusted representatives of these conscious brands, Harvest guests joined a mission with each sip of One Hope Wines, while learning about the advancements of Stelo’s wearable glucose monitors – one thing became clear: Heather Marianna had created more than just an event; she had curated an experience that resonated deeply with all who attended.

With new standards set – Harvest only proves that when exceptional minds like Heather Marianna lead with passion and purpose, even gifting lounges can transform Hollywood into positive, community building platforms for change. Through its blend of celebrity gloss and genuine substance, Harvest offered a glimpse into the future – one where glamour walks hand in hand with responsibility towards our community and environment.

Events like this are pivotal not just for their immediate spectacle but for their lasting impact on brand culture and social responsibility narratives within industries worldwide.

We hope you enjoyed an uplifting little journey with us and hope you explore some of these absolutely incredible brands.
