Themed Special Events

Over the last twenty years, Eric Weiss has created and executed numerous themed events; "The Feast of The Casseroles", a promotion for Casserole Cookery with ten bistro restaurants in New York City, the “Time and Again Dinner”, where 120 guests dressed in 1880’s clothing to celebrate an extravagant meal created around the cult classic by author Jack Finney, and “The Night of the 100 Dinners”, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the New York Public Library.

Additionally, Mr. Weiss was responsible for orchestrating promotional weekends for food, travel and wine media at luxury properties in the Bahamas, in Newport, Rhode Island, as well as in the Berkshires and Upstate New York.

Through his extensive network of media connections, all of these events have enjoyed national print and television coverage.

 

The New York Public Library

JOAN HARDY CLARK

Co-Chairperson, The New York Public Library, New York, NY

"The Night of 100 Dinners, the New York Public Library's 100th Birthday, was a fabulous success in every way. All the guests appear to have had glorious evenings celebrating our beloved Library's one hundredth birthday. We only wish that you could hear and see all the warm accolades you've received both on the telephone and in the mail. Due to your generosity, creativity and hard work, the Library raised more money than ever before for this event, had a record number of attendees and made scores of new friends."

“I was part of the team that hired Eric Weiss to organize several food and wine weekends for an exclusive group of travel and food press. Both were planned and executed perfectly. Mr. Weiss’ vision could not have been more accurate as to what the properties needed in terms of exposure. As a result, many national and international articles were written. His knowledge, professionalism and dedication concerning food, service and wine continue to exceed my expectations.”
