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 May…
Royal Hospital Rd, SW3 4SR
RHS Chelsea Flower Show Charity Gala Preview
Thanks to us, our cocktail dress- and lounge suit-clad members attended England’s greatest garden party of the year. This meant that they were among the very first guests to experience the show over Champagne and canapés before it opened to the public, alongside members of the royal family and other famous faces. Jolly good.
RHS Chelsea Flower Show with Boodles
Plus, those of our members who attended on the Tuesday also enjoyed complimentary access to Boodles’ invite-only soirée inside The Boodles Garden: a jewel-coloured jungle of florals and foliage inspired by royal palaces. What’s more, the British jewellery house even allowed our members to borrow diamonds for the occasion.

RHS Chelsea Flower Show
Their tickets also secured them access to the main event: entry to the world’s most famous flower show every single day. From perfectly pruned, pocket-sized plots to sprawling showstoppers, our members admired gardens large and small. And if this has planted a seed of inspo, we’ve recently updated our round-up of Chelsea’s best restaurants.
Christian Louboutin’s red sole experience
Our well-heeled members were invited to a complimentary look behind the seams of Christian Louboutin’s flagship store. Here, an expert walked them through the craftsmanship behind the signature red sole, before helping them create and take home a personalised keepsake.

A breakfast at Mount St. Restaurant
Quintessentially Foundation’s philanthropic patrons recently sat down for a breakfast at the ever-popular Mount St. Restaurant with one of their frontline charity partners, The Kids Network. The session was led by CEO Louise Johns-Shepherd, who shared insight on the transformative work the charity does across London for disadvantaged young people.
Fortnum & Mason x Brownrigg Antiques
Much like the bottles of Fortnum & Mason bubbly at this intimate event to celebrate Brownrigg Antiques’ residency, our members’ calendars have been popping off lately. Like when they were whisked up to the store’s first floor for an evening of drinks and nibbles alongside a small group of VIPs browsing the collection of furniture and decorative pieces.
299 South St, NY 181 Piccadilly, W1A 1ER
Tate Modern, SE1 9TG
A pre-opening tour of Tracey Emin: A Second Life
To paint you a picture of what our art services can do, we advise on investment-worthy artwork and arrange private pre-opening tours of the world’s most sought-after exhibitions and galleries. Exhibit A: when our members were the first to see Tracey Emin’s new exhibition, A Second Life, at the Tate Modern.
The 10th edition of Quintessentially Privé
In partnership with Somabay, Quintessentially Egypt planned a party with over 800 guests. But not just any party. The 10th edition of Quintessentially Privé: a series of invite-only celebrations in and around Cairo. This time, it took place at SACHI Heliopolis. Here, guests danced the night away among ice sculptures, vodka shots, sushi platters, and a flowing chocolate fondue.

NADA New York
After an appearance at Miami Art Week, NADA (New Art Dealers Alliance) returned to the Starrett-Lehigh Building for its 12th edition during Frieze Week. It’s long been one of our members’ favourite destinations for discovering emerging artists and galleries – so naturally, Quintessentially USA nabbed complimentary passes for them.
A Supper Club at Atlantis The Royal
Over in the UAE, Quintessentially Dubai co-hosted the latest instalment of our Supper Club series with Estiatorio Milos at Atlantis The Royal. On the menu: the finest Mediterranean seafood by chef Costas Spiliadas, alongside the chance to mingle with like-minded members at one of the city’s most sought-after restaurants. We’ll cheers to that.
Crescent Rd, The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Expo Dr, Hong Kong
Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong VIP Preview
Name something better than attending the 13th edition of Hong Kong’s leading art fair. We’ll start: being among the first to browse the fair’s 100+ galleries from 15 countries. Quintessentially Asia Pacific’s HQ office made that possible by securing invitation-only tickets to the VIP Preview.
