After hours and hours of hard work, blood, sweat and tears, Kinsley James Los Angeles is officially open for business! To celebrate the launch of our new location, we held a Grand Opening Party! The setup was beautiful thanks to the many vendors that worked with us to make this event so special.

Sweet E's Bakeshop's beautiful cake was the perfect showstopper for our Grand Opening. Just look at the detail! They also provided delicious treats for our dessert table!
Bouquets on bouquets! These amazing flowers were done by Posh Peony and looked excellent with the color scheme of the whole party.
The mouth-watering appetizers were done by Jonathan Pimentel Catering.
- Braised beef with mustard aioli au jus, garnished with dill, and served with a dehydrated potato chip
- Jerk chicken confit served on top of a plantain chip, and garnished with pickled onion
- Shrimp ceviche with garlic, onions, mini bell pepper trio, lemon, lime, tomato, and served on top of cucumber
Talented LA bartenders Nick Estep and Suzy Franco served beautifully prepared drinks garnished with edible flowers. The drinks were a huge hit!
Signature Cocktails:
The Classy Anne - gin, lemon, maraschino liquer, and creme de violet
Kinsley's Main Squeeze - vodka, lemon, curcao, and grenadine
The James - bourbon, maraschino liquer, orange, and angostura bitters
#KJ Girls! The Kinsley James Teams from Walnut Creek and Los Angeles are all a huge part of the business and help make Kinsley James a success one bride at a time!
