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 40 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 July…
Royal Ballet and Opera, WC2E 9DD
'La bohème' at the Royal Ballet and Opera
It was double trouble at the sold-out opening night of Puccini’s four-act love story set in the City of Light, when we secured not one but two boxes in the Royal Box. The evening began with a private reception in the Royal Retiring Room, followed by a three-course dinner by Angela Hartnett. When’s the encore?
The Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition
Some of our most popular member events are art-based. Exhibit A: an after-hours private viewing of the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition, featuring a live string quartet and glasses of Champagne constantly topped up throughout the evening. Better still, they received complimentary tickets for themselves and a plus one (or two), giving them the chance to explore the exhibition without the crowds.
Burlington House, W1J 0BD
Somerset House, WC2R 0RN
‘Hepworth in Colour’ at the Courtauld Gallery
Exhibit B: a private early morning view of Barbara Hepworth’s exhibition at Somerset House. After scaling the spiral staircase, they discovered her around 20 sculptures and 30 drawings from the 1940s and 60s, many inspired by the Cornish seascape – and, coincidentally, her favourite colours: blue and white. What’s more, they had the rare opportunity to see never-before-seen works from the artist’s archive.
Summer BAFTA patron event at The Roof Gardens
After a special introduction from BAFTA Deputy Chair Sara Putt, they joined House of the Dragon actress Olivia Cooke for a Q&A, followed by a Champagne and canapé reception at Kensington’s social club in the sky. The evening was in aid of BAFTA’s mission to support the next generation of talent across the film and television industries.
99 Kensington High St, W8 5SA
Soho Farmhouse, OX7 4JS
GQ Heroes
Over in the Oxfordshire countryside, a line-up of famous faces took to Soho Farmhouse’s Hay Barn stage, including designer Christian Louboutin and documentarian Louis Theroux. Wellness-focused members also had the chance to try actress Rosamund Pike’s consciousness-shifting light masks. Day two wrapped up with our members watching the England vs DR Congo game from seats right beside the stars.
FIFA World Cup final
We helped our football-fan members score suites to the FIFA World Cup final, watching Spain take on Argentina at the New York New Jersey Stadium. From premium hospitality throughout the match to the halftime performance featuring Justin Bieber and Shakira, we ensured they experienced it all from some of the best seats in the stadium – where else?
New York New Jersey Stadium, NJ 07073
Atlanta Stadium, GA 30313
FIFA World Cup semi-final
What if we told you that watching Argentina vs England from a private field-level suite, hosted by ex-West Ham midfielder Jack Collison and just six feet from the pitch, with Champagne on arrival and in-seat service, was possible? That’s exactly what our US team secured for our members, complete with complimentary private transport to and from the Atlanta Stadium, of course.
VIP access to Hamptons Fine Art Fair
Exhibit C: on Long Island, our members explored works from leading galleries. But not just any access: they enjoyed complimentary VIP first-look opening preview passes, giving them the chance to discover the fair before it opened to the public across all days of the event. Those who took us up on the offer also received complimentary entry to the Hamptons Jewelry Show.
605 County Rd 39, NY 11968
25 Jump St, Trade Center Second, Dubai, UAE
A Supper Club screening of the World Cup
This was no joke: we swapped our usual fine-dining Supper Club series for a relaxed screening of the tournament at Pepperoni Comedy Club. The venue was the perfect match for our Dubai-based members, who came together over slices of pizza and celebratory drinks to watch the World Cup alongside fellow members.
