A Toast to Hollywood" wasn't just a gifting suite — it was a stage. Heather Marianna has built something truly world-class. I walked in with my book and my brand, and walked out with media coverage across the USA Today Network, meaningful connections, and a full heart from conversations I never expected to have. This is the must-attend event for any serious entrepreneur looking to introduce or elevate their brand.

This is my picture at the END of the event I did at Heather Marianna’s Oscars Suite . Most events you do your ready to pack up and go and feel fatigued , well that’s not the case with Heathers Events , they are so well orchestrated that the longer the day the more exciting they get ! The connections, the business, the pictures, the videos are all happening at such a positive pace you can feel your business and brand growing WHILE you are on the floor ! If she asks , consider it an honour and say YES!

Erica Bazerkanian - Co-Founder & CEO of Bold & Zeal

Being part of Heather Marianna’s A Toast to Hollywood Luxury Gifting Lounge was an incredible opportunity for Bold&Zeal. As a new brand, it created meaningful conversations with inspiring individuals — from talent and media to fellow founders — who truly connected with our mission. The value of these relationships continues well beyond the event, and we’re so grateful to Heather for creating such a thoughtful and impactful experience. We’re already looking forward to joining her Emmy’s lounge.

Jake Jones - CEO of Gold Naturals

We had the absolute best experience attending Heather Marianna’s Emmy and Oscars Week events. Our first time at the Emmys was unforgettable—we were honestly a little starstruck! Being able to share our products directly with celebrities and media was incredible and truly helped elevate our brand into a whole new space. Coming back for Oscars Week was even more rewarding. This time, many of the celebrities were already familiar with our products and shared amazing stories about how they’ve incorporated them into their lives—or how their friends and family have become loyal, long-term customers. That kind of organic connection is priceless. Beyond the business opportunities, the events themselves are just an absolute blast. Heather really knows how to throw a top-tier red carpet experience—everything is beautifully executed, high-energy, and memorable. We’ll definitely be coming back every year!

Founders of Sugarhill Sunset

We had an incredible experience at A Toast to Hollywood. The event was well organized, and the atmosphere created a great opportunity to introduce Sugarhill Sunset to a new audience.

One of our favorite moments was watching guests experience our candles for the first time, their reactions to the scents and the conversations that followed made it all worth it. Being able to connect face-to-face and share the story behind our brand really stood out.

Heather Marianna is an absolute pro at organizing and running celebrity gifting events, and this year's Enchant Oscars Celebrity Gifting Event was an incredible example of her talents and connections. I was fortunate enough to be selected as a vendor for this event, and Heather treats her vendors like royalty.  Her written and verbal communication leading up to the event is top-notch, and you feel like she is personally invested in your success. My gifting table at this incredible celebrity-filled party was huge for my growing business. Heather is a true professional and I'm excited to continue partnering with her for many years to come.

Leslie Capps - Author of "Turn Your Story Into Business Gold"

I had the honor of showcasing my book, Turn Your Story Into Business Gold at Enchant Gifting Lounge and seeing it among such an elite crowd was a full-circle moment. Every conversation reinforced the power of storytelling—not just in business, but in life. You don’t walk away from an event like this as the same person—you leave inspired, expanded, and ready for what’s next. If you’re considering being part of this experience, don’t hesitate. It’s more than an event—it’s an elevation for you and your business. Gracious. High-vibe. Unforgettable.

Ignite: A Luxury Gifting Suite '' celebrating Oscar nominees, was absolutely amazing. As a new business owner, events like this mean more than I can put into words. I was able to make genuine connections with celebrities, including some of my favorite legendary soap opera stars, influencers, producers, publishers, media outlets & more. I was also blessed to receive some encouragement and helpful advice from successful entrepreneurs & celebrities who have been in the game for years! I could go on and on about the energy, the hugs, the laughs and so much more, but I’ll stop here by saying again: THANK YOU!

Karen Goslin - Author of "Yellow Paint: Learning to Live Again"

Attending the Enchant Oscar Gifting Lounge, hosted by Heather Marianna, was a dream come true! It was THE perfect space to launch, “ Yellow Paint: Learning to Live Again”. Heather’s attention to detail created a magical place for; showcasing an important product, having meaningful conversations about the message in my book, and celebrating a deeply personal, important journey. Looking forward to launching my upcoming Audio Book at The Marianna’s Group’s Emmy Gifting Lounge Event in September 2025! Thank you again Heather.

Blair & Alana - Founders of The Global Resilience Project

We have so much gratitude for Heather and for being a part of her Gifting Lounges. Ignite 2024 was the first time we’ve participated in anything like this, and to have the opportunity to be one of the few brands present is such an honor. From the moment we signed on, until after the event, we felt well taken care of, and extremely supported in how to maximize our visibility. Being able to put our book, RESILIENT A.F.: Stories of Resilience, into the hands of such influential celebrities and media is going to help us move the needle on our mission to empower 88 million people by August 2025.

ATA Cosmetics was a presenting sponsor at the Merritt & Marianna Ignite Oscars Gifting Lounge. This event was truly top notch!

From the food to the venue and decor, the whole event was on point!

Guest Reviews

Thanks for hosting such an incredible event! Your events have featured absolute game-changing products for me—specifically Cotrini, which is the most effective night cream I’ve ever used, and Purium, which finally helped a 20-year digestion issue. I’m grateful you feature such incredible brands and will continue to support them. Looking forward to the next one!

The Enchant Gifting Suite is truly the most exceptional gifting experience I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of. Heather does an outstanding job curating sponsors who are genuinely passionate about their products and creating an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and heartfelt. This event is an absolute must for celebrating awards season.
-Miles Tagtmeyer - Emmy®  nominated actor and producer


Aptly named, the Enchant Gifting Suite is enchanting!  A delightful day of drinks and conversation with generous gifters, passionate about their products.  I’m always happy to hear them share their stories, and help them get the word out.  It’s hard out there for a small business— Enchant takes the drudge out of marketing, and makes it fun… for the celebrities too!
-Naomi Grossman - Emmy®  nominated actress best known for American Horror Story


While the products in the Gifting Suite were great, the party that IS the Gifting Suite is even better.  It’s full of fascinating people, each with their own eccentric story behind their innovative items; lots of great food and even better wine and booze. The Gifting Suite is a total blast!  I would go even if there were no ‘gifts!’
- Larry Kasanoff - Producer, Mortal Kombat


“As the event came to a close, one thing became clear: the Harvest Premier Celebrity Gifting Lounge is not just about showcasing luxury—it’s about celebrating the intersection of craftsmanship, innovation, and mindful living. Each brand brought something unique to the table, and we look forward to seeing how they continue to influence the world of luxury, wellness, and sustainability in the years to come.”
