Dinner, Decorations, Attire
The evening centers around a fantastic picnic, a combination of starters, main courses, and desserts you choose to bring to enjoy and share. Reveal your inner chef and create something new for the evening or bring your friends together over a selection of favorites. Combine amazing food with wine, champagne, or beer and the night is sure to be wonderful. One bottle per person is allowed, excluding beer.
Ambience is essential for the PopUp Dinner experience. The tables are canvases to be decorated accordingly. Bring your imagination to the evening. Elegant candelabras, vases full of flowers, silverware, pictures, anything and everything that will make your evening special should be present at your table. Additional lighting options must not require electricity. Browse through our past events for inspiration. Don’t forget white napkins to wave at the beginning of the evening!
We encourage everyone to dress in white. This is the only requirement. Remember, feathers or sequins don’t leave a location untouched, a key part of the PopUp Dinner. We chose white for attire to represent the vibrant nature of the evening, the simplicity of the idea, and the new opportunities the evening creates. Just as you start with a blank table for your evening, you start with a blank identity. Create yourself as you mingle with old friends and new and leave the dinner with a revitalized sense of who you are.
