There’s something deeply moving about a community coming together to honor a life well-lived. 🌾💜☕️

​At Agora Gatherings CT, we recently had the quiet privilege of hosting a High English Tea at Hotel Callista to lay a loved one to rest.

​Every detail was customized to honor her memory—from mastering brand-new recipes like our very first batch of fresh lavender scones to building tiered tea towers.

​A truly amazing team of women linked arms to make it happen, bringing in delicate teacups, gathering fresh lavender, and helping create a comforting space where family could sit, remember, and feel wrapped in love.

​She was honored so beautifully. Holding this family close in our hearts and prayers. 🕯️✨

The calm before the celebration. 🏛️🕯️

There is a specific kind of reverence that comes with prepping a space like Agora. Before the guests arrive and the atmosphere shifts, there is the work: the lighting of candles, the adjusting of the gold accents, and the final touches on a tablescape designed for history.

This room has seen centuries of gatherings—from its days as the Slater family home to its life now as a private sanctuary at Hotel Callista. As a designer, my job is to honor those Industrial Age bones while layering in the elegance that a modern event deserves.

It’s about the details. It’s about the grit. It’s about being a steward of 'The Rose of New England’s' most historic gathering place.

Now, we’re ready for the night to begin.
