Cortia’s Champagne Brunch
What better way to close off the year than with friends who have supported your every effort? Cortia Bingham, a fervent believer in giving thanks and giving back, hosted, along with hubby Caray McKenzie, an intimate Christmas brunch Sunday last, aptly labelled Luxe… Tea & Champagne Brunch.
The newly-weds pulled out all the stops to ensure complete guest satisfaction. It was indeed a success from the all-white dress code to the elegant and tasty offerings of culinary artist Oji Jaja, perfectly in tune with the musical styling of saxophonist Tafawe Buchsaecab.
