Monogram Dinner by Design – it’s a decadent feast for both the eyes and stomach where both local and international designers are challenged to create a dining environment that puts most dinner parties to shame.
This invite-only fundraising dinner and cocktail party is hosted by some of the finest interior designers. This year, there will be 20 designers, each that will be given at 12 x 12 foot space and free rein to create imaginative and extraordinary tablescapes, each telling a personal design story that will serve as the backdrop for these two magical events.

Some of this year’s participating designers include Western Living Magazine’s Robert Ledingham Memorial Award-winner Sophie Burke, Robert Quinnell and David Keeler, owners of iconic Vancouver housewares store Provide, and BYU’s award-winning designer Nicole Gomes.
