2022 was certainly one for the books! After a two year pause on live, in-person events, it was all the more thrilling to work on and produce so many incredible celebrations this year. We are so thankful for our amazing Sequoia family and community of friends and collaborators surrounding us. Here’s to a happy & prosperous New Year!
The Holiday Season is the most wonderful time to celebrate!
We are heartbroken to convey that last night our dear friend and colleague, Carl Bendix passed peacefully on to his next adventure. Co-creator, along with David Corwin of Ambrosia Caterers, Carl was a pioneer in the event business; a visionary, inspiration and mentor to us all. Carl mastered the fusion of food, style, hospitality, laughter and friendship. For those of you who weren’t inspired directly by Carl’s creativity, gregarious nature and big heart, you may well have been part of many of his protégées’ journeys in special events, the culinary arts, design, business, healing arts, and beyond. He leaves behind a long list of friends and family who he treasured, and well-loved pets who were his true children. Carl is now dancing with the angels and buddhas while his stories, his grace, his generosity, smile and laughter live on - especially whenever two or more “Ambrosites” get together. Dear Carl, we will hold you deep in our hearts and your story lives on through us. We love you.
