In 2023, we launched KRW Productions, our specialized division dedicated to global event strategy, production, and management.

For us, the impact of an event is often in the details—the custom signage, branded displays, thoughtful tablescapes, curated gifting, printed materials, florals, lighting, and finishing touches that bring a brand and its story to life.

This summer, we had the opportunity to create and produce so many of these moments for our clients, each one thoughtfully considered to feel cohesive, intentional, and memorable.

Here’s a look at some of the chic details from a few of the events we were proud to be part of this summer.

Yesterday, KRW helped produce the 10th Annual L'Arche Long Island Summer Garden Party at Parrish Art Museum in Watermill, New York. It was a beautiful evening that raised over $200k in support of the L’Arche mission.

Curating auction items and driving donations is no small feat—but it’s always deeply rewarding when it comes together in service of such meaningful work.

L’Arche Long Island is a community where people with and without intellectual disabilities live and share life together, rooted in belonging, mutual relationships, and inclusion. Through its homes, daily support, and community engagement, L’Arche celebrates the unique gifts of each person and fosters a more connected and compassionate society built on dignity and friendship.

We’re honored to support their mission and the impact they continue to make.

Trunk shows are about so much more than shopping—they’re about creating meaningful connections and experiences.

With the help of our friend Marigay McKee we hosted an intimate trunk show in Sag Harbor, bringing together a curated group of guests to discover the latest collection in a relaxed, personal setting. Attendees had the opportunity to connect directly with the brand, hear the stories behind the designs, and experience the collection firsthand.

For founders and brand partners, these intimate gatherings are invaluable—creating meaningful one-on-one connections with customers and influencers, generating authentic content, and delivering an elevated experience that extends far beyond the purchase.
