Ever wondered what life is like as a Quintessentially member? Well, now you don’t have to – we’re giving you an exclusive look into our world. We make magic happen for our members, wherever they are and with whatever they need. Without us, they wouldn’t have tickets to sold-out concerts, front-row seats to fashion shows, and spots on invite-only guest lists.  

With 35+ offices worldwide, we make it our mission to ensure our members live a life without limits. Every day, we open the door to the world’s most exclusive events – and last month was no different. So, without further ado, here’s what our members got up to in March…

A flower arranging masterclass at The Connaught

Ahead of Mother’s Day, our members made their way to Mayfair for an expert-led workshop with luxury florist Moyses Stevens. The morning began with a Champagne and canapé reception from The Connaught Patisserie by Nicolas Rouzard before heading to the hotel’s Maple Room to create blooming beautiful bouquets. 

An Easter egg masterclass with Birley Chocolate

Our members kicked off their Easter celebrations early, putting their creativity to the test at the brand’s first-ever chocolate decorating workshop. Led by Head Chocolatier Corrado Fogliazza, the event was packed with tips, tricks, and plenty of chocolatey fun for the whole family. Plus, they tucked into complimentary treats, including Birley Bakery’s famous pain au chocolat and pain au raisins.

A weekend at Eastnor Castle

The owners of this gorgeous, invite-only Georgian castle in Herefordshire welcomed them with a private tour of the grounds. They were treated to meals prepared by the family’s chef – highlights included a black-tie, three-course dinner in the State Dining Room. The experience also featured an off-road Land Rover adventure across the 5,000-acre estate and a wine tasting.

The Oscars

Across the pond, we rolled out the red carpet for our US members, securing them more than just a seat at the 97th Academy Awards in the Dolby Theatre. They were also on the guest list for Hollywood’s most star-studded after-parties. From VIP access to witnessing Anora take home the most honours, they experienced the biggest night in film the Quintessentially way.  

The Miami Open

They also swung by the annual tennis tournament in Florida, catching all the action from courtside seats alongside A-listers. They watched world-class players like Novak Djokovic, Emma Raducanu, and Carlos Alcaraz take to the courts. And beyond the matches, we ensured they made the most of their time in Miami, securing sought-after tables and stays across the city.

An evening at New York’s Continuum Club

Imagine getting a behind-the-scenes look at the world’s most exclusive (and expensive) wellness club. Our members don’t have to. Quintessentially USA CEO Lauren Wilt hosted a complimentary evening at the club’s world-class facilities. Guests received their own digital twin based on personalised survey results and experienced cutting-edge recovery treatments, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy. 

Art Basel Hong Kong

Art Basel is back, baby. And so is our Asia Pacific HQ. As the official global concierge partner for Art Basel, our Hong Kong team provided personalised support to our members and the fair’s VIPs throughout the week. From securing last-minute restaurant reservations to booking the hottest hotels, we ensured this year’s edition was the best one yet.
