Sometimes the best celebrations aren’t planned months in advance. They happen in the moment, sparked by inspiration and brought to life with creativity and care. At Distillery of Modern Art, we know that even last-minute gatherings can feel polished, personal, and unforgettable.
When one client’s wife decided—just a week before her birthday—that she wanted to celebrate at home instead of traveling, her husband had a bold, beautiful vision. He came to Distillery of Modern Art with the idea of creating an intimate party for 20–25 guests in our Watson Gallery. With just days to prepare, our event team jumped into action. The goal was simple: turn a last-minute request into a warm, stylish celebration that felt planned for months.
The evening featured a curated menu that celebrated global flavors. Guests enjoyed tacos, dim sum, empanadas, and fresh coastal seafood. It was a feast that perfectly reflected the birthday girl’s adventurous palate. To complement the meal, our bar team designed a custom cocktail menu, even renaming one of our signature drinks in her honor.
“Working with the Distillery of Modern Art event team was an incredible experience. They’re not only great people but also incredibly flexible and creative. They turned a last-minute idea into an unforgettable, joy-filled celebration.”
