Book excerpt: "For twelve years, David Monn's magical way of seeing the world has been available only to a privileged group of clients through his event‑planning firm in New York City. A state dinner at the White House, openings of the Tiffany flagship store and the Fontainebleau Hotel, the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, countless large‑scale birthdays and weddings and other celebrations--every lucky guest knows that there is no party like a Monn party. Building on one telling detail of a client's life--for a bride, it might be a favorite candy; for Frank Gehry, it might be cardboard--Monn creates a few unforgettable, carefully choreographed hours using scent, sound, sight, touch, and taste to create what he calls "one simple truth." It has to be "shared, lived, and felt" by everyone there. In this volume Monn introduces us to the people and places that have inspired him and taught him "to see"; he draws from his personal archive of 20,000 event photographs to show us how he puts his ideas to work; and he lets us into the private world of his spectacular Manhattan loft--which has never been published before"--
