Today, our vibrant guests Courtney Wesley and Simone Green came in to speak about the exclusive “lux” event Le Diner en Blanc being held in Houston on October 19th. Courtney is the head leader of the event and guides the rest of the head leaders to ensure that Le Diner is ready to accommodate all its beloved attendees. She loves people and has an energetic, outgoing personality that automatically brightens the space. Simone is the head leader for Missouri, Sugarland, and Pearland, adjusting everything to guarantee that things run smoothly in those areas. She is stylish, fun, and active, matching other’s energy and making her an admirable guest on the show. Both lovely ladies did an excellent job at showcasing this special yearly gathering.
Le Diner en Blanc is an all-white, invitation-only party with entertainment and food. The event started in Paris in 1998 to empower friends to come together, enjoy an elegant, amusing night, and meet new people. Courtney and Simone recount that what makes the night so special is the mystery and uniqueness of the event, as you do not know where it will be held until arrival. Buses arrive at meeting points all over Houston from Missouri City to Katy, making it accessible to people all over the Houston area. People bring their own tables, picnic supplies, and accessories to share and make new connections while making valuable memories. Along with all the interaction, there’s dancing, photo booths, a cigar lounge, and so much more.
Simone and Courtney give us insight into what goes into organizing this get-together. Preparation begins about a year in anticipation, and though the start is slow and steady, the pace begins to pick up in the summer to keep everything on track. There is a set structure that maintains order, such as the table leaders, who conduct 50 attendees throughout the experience. Because the occasion is expanding, adjustments are being made to make it more accommodating, such as the concierge service that is now provided for those attending with their own supplies.
Regarding entertainment, Le Diner en Blanc is set for this year’s event but is still encouraging performers to reach out as each year is special and awaiting preparations. Corporate collaborations are also encouraged; there are plenty of opportunities for vending and advertising.
If you are interested in attending, you can visit their website at houston.dinerenblanc.com/concept. The event officially starts at 5 PM on October 19th, but departure points are to be met at 2 PM. It is a growing event, and they have expressed that they intend to gather as many people as possible with a goal of 3k guests, so be on the lookout, as it is not an event you want to miss!
Overall, Le Diner en Blanc sounds like a wonderful night out with friends and loved ones, with plenty of chances to make more connections. This function seems to have great potential to be a huge, anticipated event for Houstonians. If you want to make long-lasting memories while looking for something to do, Le Diner en Blanc could be the perfect place for you. We are incredibly grateful to have representatives from the party, Courtney and Simone, come in to interview with us at Amazing 102.5.
