Lavender Soireé

Lavender Soirée is an annual celebration hosted by Honey and Lavender Events to kick off the summer and honor the incredible vendor community that makes our work possible. Each year, we gather to thank the talented professionals who continue to support us through their trust, referrals, collaboration, and friendship. For many of them, it's one of the rare opportunities to simply be a guest—to relax, reconnect, and enjoy an evening together instead of working behind the scenes making someone else's celebration come to life.

Our Rebrand

This year's Lavender Soirée was especially meaningful as it also marked the launch of our rebrand. What began as a one-woman business has grown into a thriving team, and this new chapter reflects not only that growth but also our continued commitment to creating intentional experiences, fostering meaningful relationships, and celebrating life's biggest moments. It felt only fitting to unveil this next chapter surrounded by the community that has supported us every step of the way.

Our Vendor Partners

Of course, Lavender Soirée wouldn't be possible without that very community. We are incredibly grateful to every vendor who attended, contributed, and helped make the evening such a success. A special thank you to Hotel Heron for hosting us on their beautiful rooftop—and for the perfect summer weather that made the evening even more magical.

Guests enjoyed an exciting raffle featuring generous contributions from our vendor partners, including custom cowboy hats, a one-night stay at The Alexandrian, a five-class pack to Barry's Dupont Circle, and many other thoughtfully donated prizes. The generosity and enthusiasm of our community never ceases to amaze us, and it was such a joy to celebrate alongside the people who continually inspire and support one another.

The Details

Every detail of the evening was designed with intention—from the overall guest experience to the curated design elements that reflected our new brand and the future of Honey and Lavender Events. More than anything, the evening served as a reminder that our business has always been about people. The relationships we've built over the years are the foundation of everything we do, and we're incredibly thankful for each vendor, client, and friend who has been part of our journey.

As we look ahead, we're filled with gratitude and excitement for what's to come. Next year's Lavender Soirée will be even more special as we celebrate Honey and Lavender Events' 10-year anniversary. We can't wait to gather again, celebrate another year together, and continue the tradition of honoring the community that has made this journey so meaningful.
