Three Six Zero hosted the exclusive pre-Grammy brunch at a private residence in the Hollywood Hills. Guests were treated to a Comador cigar bar, and enjoyed catering by sbe events and specialty cocktails by D’USSE. Charity organization, My Intent, had an activation table at the party. The initiative invited attendees to create their own MyIntent Word bracelet, imprinting the word of their choice onto a bracelet, to remind us all there is a purpose inside each of us.
The event also marked the first time Armand de Brignac (“Ace of Spades”) Champagne was featured and served to guests with Shawn “JAY Z” Carter as the owner – early this year, he announced his purchase of the luxury spirits brand, whose gold bottle he helped make iconic in his video “Show Me What You Got.” A special bar was stationed on the main balcony, which served the Champagne exclusively to guests throughout the day.
This year’s event was sponsored by PUMA, Brooklyn Direct, CITI & Keihl’s. Ambiance, nourishment and beverages were provided by sbe Events, D’USSE, Armand de Brignac, Bacardi, Budweiser, Sparkling Ice, Aquahydrate, Comador Cigars and BLS Limos.
