Marque Brands Holiday Luncheon 2024

December 12, 2024

It's always fun getting together with colleagues to share holiday cheer.

Our annual company party was held yesterday in New York City. 100-employees representing 17 different labels from Marquee Brands attended the event at the midtown restaurant, Quality Bistro. There was a delicious menu of buffet dishes and hors d'oeuvres, a variety of cocktails and wines, and great conversation. It was a wonderful time to celebrate the season and the year's many accomplishments.

Enjoy these photos.
