The evening will begin with cocktails and light bites from the book provided by The Chicory House. Michael and Quinn will both be available to mix and mingle with guests as everyone peruses the book and a stunning display table put together by the duo.The book heavily features items from The Rink’s Judy’s and Maisonette, and both shops will be open late for guests to shop those items.

Classical Shindig captures the pairs’ singular sense of style and design in their lush home and garden and explores the joys of throwing unique events. The pages are filled with hundreds of delightful photographs captured by twelve renowned Southern photographers that showcase the abundance of Michael and Quinn’s New Orleans Garden District home. You’ll be hosting, designing, and entertaining with these simple tips and tricks that even an amateur can execute.
