The project of the of the Big Five is slowly coming to end but we are not leaving without a big bang! Join us and swing at the Greatest Gatsby Party!
I can’t believe that it has already been 6 months since Yasmeen, Ben, Vanessa, Lara and I started our journey as the Big Five, guided by the amazing Comepass team. To celebrate this momentous milestone Vrbandiaries invites YOU together with Comepass and Maxima Magazin to:
The Greatest Gatsby Party
When: Friday, 14th July 2017
Where: Hilton Vienna Plaza
Win your golden ticket*
Upload your 20’s style party pic with the hashtag #thegreatestgatsbyparty on Instagram until July 7th 2017 to win 2 golden tickets to the Greatest Gatsby Party.
We will be dancing to the music of the legendary jazz musician Louie Austen and DJ Two Four, drink Champagne in the Schlumberger on Ice Pop Up Bar and indulge in my 1920’s inspired three-course menu from the flying buffet. A few surprises will be also waiting for you in the beautiful setting of the Hilton Vienna Plaza.
Tickets are now also available for sale via Oeticket, but you have to be quick because they are very limited!
Nothing brings people together like good food
The greatest party is only half as fun without great food! That is why I’ve teamed up with Erich Freund, executive chef of the Hilton Vienna Plaza to create a roaring menu! The fancy 20’s themed menu will be served as a “flying buffet” throughout the evening and you can already find some of the dishes in the newest Cookbook booklet of the Maxima Magazin. From the mixed meadow herb salad with strawberries to veal fricandeau with scampi peperonata, the menu is nothing short of extraordinary!
The process of creating the menu with Erich has been so much fun! From brainstorming menu ideas to picking out the plates and tableware for the party, to shooting for the Maxima Cookbook!
I’ve also created three refreshing Gatsby cocktails that you can find here.

These past months have been a whirlwind of unforgettable experiences and I am so grateful for Eva and Rafaela from Comepass, who have stood by my side and have guided me through everything. We have grown together and I am beyond grateful for all the opportunities that I was able to realize because of them! Thank you so much girls, you are an inspiration and true #girlbosses!
