Our European team specializes in creating iconic events from Lake Como to bespoke celebrations in Tuscany and other renowned locations.

One of the true highlights of our client journey is the tasting. This is where menus come to life and wines, champagnes, and cocktails are thoughtfully paired to perfection.🍷✨
While it may be Dry January, I can’t help but think about the other eleven months—filled with tastings that often last three hours, sometimes unfolding over two or three days back-to-back. Sometimes we get it right on the first pour; other times, we revisit it again and again until the vintage, varietal, and moment align flawlessly. Having done this for 40 years, I wonder what my total consumption has been…
Looking forward to many more of these delicious, detail-driven experiences in the months ahead.

This sugar-coated Christmas party at Central Park Tower was a sweet way to wrap up our year. Guests followed a candy-cane carpet into a world of holiday magic— complete with a Christmas tree of confections, a peppermint-swirled dance floor, live band karaoke with Blair Reinhard Band, and endless flutes of champagne. The star of the show was the custom 8-foot ice bar inspired by vintage soda fountains (and packed with a few gallons of peppermints!) Every detail sparkled in red and white, right down to the final confetti drop🎉 Wishing you a very sweet and very merry Christmas!

For our Christmas party, I leaned into the palette of the season—lime, pistachio, and olive green—with sculptural spheres in mixed finishes and fresh green orchids tucked into the tree for a touch of glamour.
The menu was effortless and abundant: caviar, smoked salmon, cheeses, charcuterie, dips and spreads—plus my signature family sausage rolls, passed hot from the oven. 🥂
Copious pours of Krug Champagne and IWA Sake flowed while guests enjoyed a holiday set by my friend DJ Coleman.
You can read more in Aventura Magazine—and yes, Danny and I were honored to be on the cover.
Wishing everyone a stylish and joy-filled holiday season.
🎄✨
📸 @jrabinowitzphotography
Over 800 attendees, including business leaders, sports figures, political dignitaries, and celebrities, gathered to support and celebrate Big Buddies’ mission with a gourmet dinner, dazzling entertainment, and an auction. @colincowie and @colincowielifestyle designed the evening so every attendee had a front-row seat to the action! 😍

It will be an event to leave you shaken and stirred with a dash of AI. I have the privilege of designing and producing the RSVP Symposium Bahamar 18-21st May 2026!
The education will focus on technology and how will it affect our industry, surely the biggest change our business lives will ever have. For an afternoon all aboard for a barely-clad buccaneer Catamaran voyage. The evenings will be a heady mix of All that Jazz, Bahamian Brilliance and the best James Bond party ever produced; girl, villain or the man himself, who will you be?
This is the one event I have always longed to produce. A heady mix of RSVP irreverence, crazy dress codes, supreme fun and a big dose of Colin Cowie magic.
The price to attend is from $4400 for RSVP members. Please DM @rsvpclubofficial or email james@rsvp.club for full details and to sign up.
Mr Bond can’t wait to meet you all personally next May. Nobody does it better.

Had the best time speaking at RSVP Mayakoba— it’s always fun catching up with industry friends and leaders in amazing locations and spectacular hotels. I felt very welcome staying at the Rosewood Maykoba. Big thanks to James Lord, Brian Worley and their teams for curating and planning an epic 4 days. Next up……RSVP Baha Mar co-produced with @colincowielifestyle !

Celebrating 40 Years of Style, Service & Storytelling ✨
This year marks an extraordinary milestone for Colin Cowie Lifestyle — 40 years of creating beauty, elevating experiences, and setting the gold standard in how we live, entertain, and celebrate.
Along this journey, we’ve had the privilege of sharing our philosophy through 11 books on style, weddings, entertaining, and the business of living well. Each one captures the essence of what we believe: that every moment deserves intention, every detail matters, and a life well-lived is a life beautifully designed. I remember launching my very first book at Bergdorf Goodman, on the 7th floor. Having my book featured in the window, I thought I had arrived.
To our clients, collaborators, readers, partners, teams, and dear friends — thank you for inspiring us, trusting us, and believing in the power of possibility.
Here’s to 40 years of excellence. And to the next chapter — bolder, brighter, and more breathtaking than ever✨
#colincowielifestyle #thegoldstandard #colincowie #style #weddings #design #author #legacy #celebration #book #entertaining
From layering textures and candlelight to easy, elegant serving ideas that make hosting feel effortless, I showed viewers how to entertain with confidence, warmth, and a touch of style.
Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡🦃✨

This past weekend we had the pleasure of designing and planning the annual @bestbuddies gala, one of Miami’s most anticipated fundraisers and the unofficial start of the season. ☀️ 🌴
We welcomed 750 guests into a completely blank space and rebuilt it around a single idea… love. ❤️ Guests moved from a white cocktail hour with subtle pops of red into a dinner environment that unfolded into a chic nightclub where everyone felt close to the action. 🎭 Immersive entertainment kept the night moving with curated lounges, playful photo moments, incredible dance and aerial performances and a few surprises along the way. 🙌
This event carried all the hallmarks of a signature Colin Cowie experience. ✨ Our team shaped every element that was tasted, smelled, touched or felt so the entire evening felt considered from start to finish. 💃

Celebrating 40 Years of Purpose and Giving 🌍✨ At Colin Cowie Lifestyle, giving back has always been at the heart of what we do. For 4 decades, we’ve had the privilege of supporting organizations that uplift communities and create change — from children-at-risk and mentorship programs to art and education scholarships, HIV and cancer research, and beyond.
We’re proud to have partnered with incredible foundations including @cityharvestnyc (since 2021) @ubuntupathways (since 2012), @lalelaproject (since 2009), @americanturkishsociety (since 2019), Turning Point Foundation, @bestbuddies, @infinitefamily, The @alzassociation Imagine Benefit, Paddle for Pink, and more. Together, we’ve helped raise tens of millions of dollars for these important causes.
And yes, I’ll admit, I’m usually the first to raise my paddle for a safari or a villa in Tuscany! 🏡🦓 But more importantly, we always ensure our philanthropic partners receive favorable terms and invaluable connections.
Here’s to 40 years of creating magic with purpose, and to many more years of giving and making a difference.💫
