You can find profiles of Courtney's eccentric feasts in LA Times, Vogue, Food and Wine, Oxygen, Playboy, and a slew of other esteemed outlets.
“When the doors open, the guests take over. So there are a lot of educational forces and academia that go into preproduction, but once it is actually produced, I let chaos reign.”
Courtney’s bio:
Described by Bravo TV as "Chez Panisse meets Studio 54," Courtney Nichols' life goal is to bring sloppy dinner parties to the masses. At the core of her mission is Disco Dining Club - a thematic food and drink event that revels in all the excess, debauchery, and hedonism of disco.
It is the belief of Disco Dining Club that there were moments of decadence throughout history that led to the ultimate decadence: Disco. Whether a historical era, an artistic movement, or an iconic piece of culture, Disco Dining Club recreates these colorful moments through the lens of a theatrical dinner party. At Disco Dining Club, only one thing is required of guests: to consume everything.
