Miami, FL – February 9, 2016 – Vizcaya Museum and Gardens held its kickoff party for the 8th Annual Preservation Luncheon, known informally as “The Hat Luncheon” to be held at Vizcaya on March 1. More than 80 guests gathered at Artefacto in Coral Gables for an elegant reception, hosted by Christy and David Martin and Lais Bacchi. Throughout the evening, guests were treated to champagne and hors d’oeuvres while selecting fashionable hats presented by Shapoh and jewelry presented by Lais Bacci Jewelry for the Preservation Luncheon. Guests also reserved their tables for the luncheon, the must-go event that attracts 300 guests from Miami, Palm Beach and New York for a beautiful, stylish day including a champagne lunch and informal modeling in Vizcaya’s European-style grounds. The Preservation Luncheon raises funds to preserve and protect Vizcaya Museum and Gardens for the community and future generations to come. Founded in 2009, the luncheon is a friend-raiser and fund-raiser to support the preservation of Vizcaya.
