VIVANT's Unforgettable Summer Night in the Hamptons

East Hampton, NY | July 26, 2025
Summer nights—Hamptons air.
VIVANT’s third annual summer celebration at the Baker House 1650 was nothing short of magical. Hosted in the heart of East Hampton, our event brought together an inspired mix of creatives, visionaries, and tastemakers for an evening rooted in connection, beauty, and soulful luxury.

A Living Expression of the VIVANT Mission

From the moment guests stepped through the ivy-framed gates of the historic Baker House, they were transported into the heart of what VIVANT stands for: elevated living, intentional experiences, and a life designed with soul.

“Rooted in the French word for ‘alive,’ VIVANT embodies energy, elegance, and the art of living,” said founder Colleen Richmond. “This evening was a celebration of that ethos—of wild beauty, real connection, and meaningful luxury.”

The gardens came alive with curated experiences at every turn:

• Live music by Mojo the Band set the tone with rich, soulful rhythms.
• Culinary brilliance from Chef Francis Derby delighted guests with dishes inspired by nature and crafted from locally sourced ingredients.
• Botanical cocktails from Via Carota Craft Cocktails, Aplós, and Chrome Horse Society Tequila flowed freely, while Wainscott Main Wine & Spirits offered refined wine pairings.

Luxury met storytelling across fashion and beauty activations:

• 11 Juillet showcased their stunning line of handcrafted Italian handbags and fine jewelry, with pieces that sparkled in the Hamptons sunset.
• Island Time Farm created a dreamy floral bar, where guests built their own bouquets from freshly cut blooms.
• FreshDirect brought the bounty of summer with a rustic-chic farmstand brimming with seasonal produce and farm-to-table charm.

Guests explored a thoughtfully curated gifting suite featuring products from:

• Sarah Wragge Wellness
• Scott’s Protein Balls
• Arrae
• Repechage
• Tea Forte

Each item was selected for its intention, wellness-forward ethos, and alignment with VIVANT’s commitment to purposeful luxury.

The Baker House 1650, hosted by the gracious Antonella Bertello, served as the perfect canvas for this storybook evening. Recently named one of the Hottest Luxury B&Bs in the Hamptons, its historic elegance and manicured gardens added a sense of timeless magic to the night.
