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 November…
Royal Ballet and Opera, Bow St, WC2E 9DD
'The Nutcracker' at the Royal Ballet and Opera
This festive evening marked the opening week of Peter Wright’s production of The Nutcracker. Our members attended a private pre-show Champagne and canapé reception, an exclusive backstage tour, and a warm welcome from the Director of the Royal Ballet, before settling into the best seats in the (opera) house – the orchestra stalls – for the performance.
The Fayre of St James’s 2025
It's Murder (and mistletoe) On The Dancefloor. Our annual candlelit charity Christmas concert at St James’s Piccadilly once again featured a star-studded line-up, with Sophie Ellis-Bextor headlining this year’s event – all in support of Quintessentially Foundation’s flagship initiative, The Firefly Project. Afterwards, a number of guests joined us for a ticketed dinner and live auction at LouLou’s, where they got into the groove, (with a) DJ.
197 Piccadilly, W1J 9LL
1 James St, WC2E 8BG
An evening with Charlotte Tilbury
How do complimentary facials and makeovers by Charlotte Tilbury sound? That’s just another Thursday for our members, who joined us for an exclusive takeover of the brand's flagship boutique last month. At this private shopping event, Champagne was popped, festive treats were nibbled, and guests left glowing from head to toe with bespoke goody bags in hand.
A dinner at 42 by Gymkhana
For the first installment of our much-loved Restaurant & Bar week, we hosted an intimate dinner at 42 (Gymkhana’s private salon), in collaboration with The Macallan and JKS Restaurants. Our members raised a glass to the occasion, tucking into a one-night-only menu from the two-Michelin-starred restaurant, complemented by whisky-infused welcome cocktails and a wee dram.
42 Albemarle St, W1S 4JH
20 Broadwick St, W1F 8HT
A party at the Broadwick Soho
And for the second, we hosted a members-only, complimentary party at Dear Jackie, inside the Broadwick Soho. For the first time, the Broadwick team transformed the restaurant into a big bash. The Macallan got guests into the spirit with tastings of rare whisky and free-flowing, whisky-splashed cocktails, and guests went home with goody bags from Granado Brazil.
A VIP preview of Christmas at Kew
‘Tis the season for one of our members’ favourite festive traditions. Our members – and their mini me’s – were among the first to wander through the annual festive light trail, enjoying the magic without the crowds and in the company of celebrity guests. The invite-only evening also included complimentary access to the children’s rides and a few glimpses of Father Christmas.
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, TW9 3AE
Mar Rd, Braemar, Ballater, AB35 5YN
An art-led escape to The Fife Arms
Art may be subjective, but the access we secure for our members isn’t. We arranged a two-night stay in the Scottish hotel’s Victoriana Suites, complete with a private tour of Balmoral Castle (an experience not offered to the public since 1856); a VIP pre-opening glimpse of V&A Dundee’s permanent collection; and a private tour of the hotel’s 16,000-piece art collection.
Bond Street Christmas lights switch-on with Ralph Lauren
After securing a good spot for the light switch-on and carol singing around the towering Christmas tree, Ralph Lauren invited our members to an exclusive private party with Champagne, canapés, and a chance to browse the holiday collection. The evening concluded with a tour of the brand’s invite-only VIP Penthouse Suite, where an illustrator personalised baubles for members to take home.
Ralph Lauren, 1 New Bond St, W1S 3RL
Madison Square Garden, NY 10001
Access to the New York Knicks vs. Chicago Bulls game
Our US team scored big by securing tickets for our NBA-loving UAE-based member to the basketball showdown. After witnessing the courtside action from the best seats in the arena, he told the team the evening was ‘amazing’.
A private dinner at Grill Americano
Quintessentially Australia hosted 60 corporate guests for an exclusive evening celebrating the launch of Sydney's brand-new restaurant. For the very first private dinner, exec chef Vincenzo Ursini guided guests through a multi-course menu, while founder Chris Lucas shared the inspiration behind the restaurant.
1 Chifley Sq, Sydney NSW 2000
1 Blue Jays Wy, M5V 1J4
The MLB World Series in Toronto
Our members didn’t just have bog-standard access to the baseball at the Rogers Centre. Our Canadian office knocked it out of the park by hosting them in a private suite for every single home game this season, including Game 7 – one of the sport’s hottest (and hardest) tickets to get your hands on.
