Privy swung into 2016 with full ferocity.
Privy had a thriving 2015, so we are all excited about what ambitious milestones are inevitably in store for 2016 - and we have the inside scoop that Privy is revealing first-class surprises in the new year! Last year, we hosted elaborate Rémy Martin and Hennessy Tasting Dinners, a Perfect Pairs Wine Dinner with event partner Chase, a Drinks ‘n’ Chatter night benefiting Nepal's devastating earthquake, a sophisticated Mooncake and Tea Pairing in San Francisco, a Halloween Monster Masquerade Ball benefiting the National Asian Breast Cancer Initiative, a Charity Poker Event hosted by Joe Hahn of Linkin Park, and a special night of Bach at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. It was only fitting that Privy ended 2015 with a night of gold-and-white-themed splendor.
The intimate, invite-only event transpired at the Crossing in Downtown LA, a sexy lounge we renovated especially for the Privy NYE 2016 event. The transformed speakeasy evoked decadent luxury, with its dark interiors, dim lighting, vintage mirror tables, opulent chandeliers, plush couches, and permeating red motif. We embellished the sumptuous ambience even further with luminescent gold and white balloons, delicious handcrafted cocktails, and said “Cheers” to the New Year with a champagne toast and a spectacular confetti explosion at midnight. DJ Jounce kept the beats roaring the entire evening for happy, giddy guests.
‘Twas definitely a night worth celebrating. We had several celebrity Privy members join us in the alighted festivities: C.S. Lee (Dexter), Archie Kao (Chicago P.D., CSI) coming in from Beijing, Allan Wu (The Amazing Race Asia) from Singapore, Dr. Steven D. Lin (formerly in pop group L.A. Boyz), as well as Taiwanese actress Livia Yin coming in from Taipei and beauty entrepreneur Jamie Kim from Seoul.
We were excited to ring in the New Year with old friends and close family, and felt blessed to commemorate the transition with all of our co-hosts: Stephen Liu, Danni Zhang, Hogan Lee, Amy Suh, Wayne Chang, Melissa Kay, Grady Ha, Howard Chiao, Stephany Chen, Cathy Hong, Sora Lee, Bryan Kim, Alice Lee, Samuel Nam, Jeremy Zhu, Hank Lee, Karen Kang, Joe Chang, Linda Kim, Steven Chung, Charles Hung, and Deron Quon!
If the success of Privy’s NYE 2016 event is any indication of the magnificence to come, we are going to have a very busy, very extraordinary year, and we hope very much that you’ll journey along with us.
