What is an immersive experience?
An immersive event transports guests to a world that is interactive. This special excursion allows participants to take a mildly active role in the evening while observing vignettes and performances inside the fantastical story.
How is the Link Stryjewski Foundation involved?
Every year, Belles Fetes donates a portion of ticket sales to the Link Stryjewski Foundation. We believe in the vision of this organization to offer support and opportunity to the underserved youth of New Orleans through their funding of the Youth Empowerment Project (YEP) and Son of a Saint.
Who is the chef & cocktail curator?
In 2018 & 2019, Look Don’t Tell showcased Melissa Araujo, Founder & Chef at Saveur Catering, a Louisiana certified farm to table catering company. Melissa’s Sicilian and Honduran roots influenced her delicate and refined preparation of the six course Creole meal for our guests. Melissa’s experience includes Doris Metropolitan, Restaurant R’evolution and working alongside James Beard awarded chefs, Susan Spicer and Alon Shaya. Our world renowned cocktail craftsman is Chris Hannah of Jewel of the South. Prior to opening his own French Quarter restaurant, Chris served as bartender at French 75 at Arnaud’s where his bar menu won a coveted James Beard Award. Chris will be selecting all of the wines and crafting cocktails to compliment the meal and other scenes through the evening.
