Rebecca Minkoff at The Surf Lodge

Luxury Influencer Dinner & Hamptons Brand Activation

Highlife Productions partnered with Rebecca Minkoff to produce an exclusive influencer dinner celebrating summer at the iconic The Surf Lodge in Montauk, one of the Hamptons' most sought-after destinations for fashion, entertainment, and luxury lifestyle brands.

The invitation-only experience brought together creators, media personalities, and tastemakers for an evening that blended elevated hospitality, thoughtful design, and authentic brand storytelling in one of New York's most recognizable summer settings.

Against the backdrop of Montauk's waterfront, guests celebrated the Rebecca Minkoff brand through an intimate dining experience designed to encourage meaningful connections, organic content creation, and memorable moments.

The Challenge

Rebecca Minkoff wanted to create an elevated influencer experience that felt intimate, authentic, and unmistakably Hamptons.

Rather than hosting a traditional promotional event, the goal was to bring together a carefully curated guest list in a relaxed coastal setting where the brand could be experienced naturally through hospitality, conversation, and beautifully designed environments.

Our Solution

Highlife Productions collaborated with the Rebecca Minkoff team to produce a luxury waterfront dinner experience that reflected the effortless sophistication of both the brand and Montauk's summer lifestyle.

Our team managed creative production and event execution while working closely with trusted creative partners to bring every detail together.

The evening featured:

• Luxury waterfront dinner production.

• Custom event design and styling.

• Premium hospitality and guest experience.

• Elevated seasonal dining.

• Thoughtfully designed branded environments.

• Bespoke floral installations.

• Custom fabrication and event décor.

• Seamless production and onsite management.

Every element was designed to feel relaxed yet refined, allowing guests to enjoy the evening while naturally engaging with the Rebecca Minkoff brand.

Influencer Marketing Through Experience

Today's most successful influencer campaigns are built on authentic experiences rather than traditional advertising.

The Rebecca Minkoff dinner created an environment where creators could genuinely connect with one another while experiencing the brand in an unforgettable setting.

Guests included notable creators and personalities such as Remi Bader, Tessa Brooks, Flaviana Matata, Ella Mendelsohn, Serena Kerrigan, and other leading voices across fashion, beauty, and lifestyle.

The intimate nature of the event encouraged organic storytelling and social engagement, extending the brand experience well beyond the dinner itself.
