Paul hosts SUPER high-end auctions. Fun auctions where the prizes to be won include autographed football helmets, tickets to the Grammys or Oscars, American Idol finale tickets, super-luxe getaways. Etc etc.
The auction yesterday took place at Pier Sixty @ Chelsea Piers and benefited the Stephen Gaynor school.
In addition to the usual neato items...
They were also auctioning off artwork by children from the school.
The apps were amazing. My favorite were the bite-sized chicken parmesans.
YUM.
750 people or so attended the event. Tickets for the event were like $500 each.
Paul is a really talented auctioneer and jumps around on tables and really gets people laughing and bidding. He must have raised almost half a million dollars last night.
And it didn't hurt that the event was hosted by Kelly & Mark!
There was also a musical perforamance by Laura Bell Bundy, the star of Legally Blonde on Broadway.
Paul and I both work in lines of work where the number and caliber of the celebrities we work with has a somewhat dramatic effect on our business. So he and I were both equally excited to have new pictures of Kelly and Mark to add to our portfolios.
Welcome to my website, A-Listers!
Oh, and I launched a new website:
www.denniskwanevents.com
It's a lot of the same stuff as my weddings site, but I want to be able to do more fancy events like this and people who are hosting events like this don't necessarily want to see all wedding pictures when looking through my portfolio.
I'd love to do more red carpets and premieres and fun things like that. Woo!
