The annual Quintessentially Lifestyle Polo BBQ took place
at the All-Ireland Polo Club in Phoenix Park, Dublin recently. Summer
showers did nothing to dampen the lively atmosphere but managed to interrupt
play on a few occasions. The private members’ concierge club, with
offices in 65 cities around the world, is renowned for its unrivalled global
reach and there were guests from London, Geneva and Paris in attendance on the
day.
There was plenty of TV talent too with sisters Gráinne
and Síle Seoige, Sinead Desmond of Ireland AM and RTE weather presenter Nuala
Carey all looking resplendant in their summer finery. The lovely Maura
Derrane was enjoying some time off from hosting Four Live, she was with her
husband, John Deasy TD.
TV chef Clodagh McKenna took some time out from running
her new restaurant, Clodagh’s Kitchen in Blackrock. Since opening a few
weeks ago the place has been a big hit with south county Dublin.
Quintessentially Lifestyle has just opened a new office
in Prague and the Czech Ambassador HE Mr. Tomas Kafka was in attendance to show
his support for the brand. Having been in Ireland for over 5 years he is
preparing to leave Ireland soon for his next diplomatic posting. The
Swiss Ambassador HE Mr. Beat Loeliger was with his wife Joyce, both enjoying
the polo.
Cheryl Dennis was enjoying her first social engagement in
Dublin. She has just arrived in the country and will be representing the Welsh
Government, based at the British Embassy. Also among the guests on the day were
Joanne Byrne, Niall O’Farrell, Andrew and Nadine King and Sheena McKeon of BMW. Everyone enjoyed what is fast becoming the
highlight of the summer season, with a great selection of BBQ food and chilled Tiger beer - a few
lucky people even won some fabulous prizes courtesy of The Westin hotel and
Ralph Lauren fragrances.
Quintessentially
Lifestyle can offer access to the inaccessible and can make the seemingly
impossible, possible. From
last minute restaurant reservations and holiday bookings, to theatre and opera
tickets and access to clubs, parties and special events, the company has
quickly become the go-to service for anyone low on time but keen to enjoy the
very best life had to offer.
