with savory bites!

 

Spritz was proud to manage Public Relations for the exciting figure unveiling of
multi-platinum pop star Sam Smith on August 10th! The four-time Grammy winning
artist did a side-by-side launch in the Music Room of Madame Tussauds San Francisco before a small crowd of adoring fans and media. Thrilled by his wax doppelganger, Sam Smith posed for pictures and warmly greeted the crowd, taking selfies with fans. He took his own series of selfies within the attraction, citing on Instagram he was having “way way way too much fun” sitting with the likenesses of Audrey Hepburn and riding off into the night with ET. We secured coverage from renowned publications such as:

On August 3rd, our team attended the Bank of the West Classic, which is the first stop of the Emirates Airlines U.S. Open Series! We rode to the stadium in style thanks to JetStream Limousine and watched U.S. women’s tennis star Nichole Gibbs earn a victory against Caroline Garcia from France!

Celebrity Cruises brought a taste of its award-winning onboard experience to life for tennis at the event. The Plaza Club presented by Celebrity Cruises featured a beautiful outdoor venue, where guests enjoyed wine, beer and a selection of appetizers, relaxed on Celebrity’s signature Lawn Club Adirondack chairs, and had the opportunity to win modern luxury prizes!

 

On July 26th, Spritz was proud to support the Richmond/Ermet Aid Foundation (REAF) once again at their annual Help is on the Way Gala in a glamorous evening filled with gourmet food, fine wines, live entertainment and auctions.

We were excited to bring together five of our hospitality and lifestyle clients to
support REAF, including Twenty Five Lusk with their delectable bites of Wild
Mushroom Cheesecakes and Scoma’s Restaurant, who plated their classic Crab
Louie in butter lettuce cups.

Guests posed with the wax figures of Marilyn Monroe and Lady Gaga from Madame Tussauds San Francisco, and bid on numerous live and silent auction items,
including a Modern Luxury Gift Basket from Celebrity Cruises as well as a
two-night stay at one of Pier 2620 Hotel’s newly renovated rooms. Scoma’s
Culinary Director Gordon Drysdale was on stage to present a highly sought-after
customized food and wine pairing dinner for ten at Scoma’s Restaurant to one
lucky live auction bidder!
