Join me behind-the-scenes as we film a start-to-finish party with Tyrel on my book tour.
I’ll show you icebreakers, announcements, mixing and mingling, and more from my very own 2-Hour Cocktail Party.
My name is Nick Gray, and I'm the best-selling author of the party handbook The 2-Hour Cocktail Party. I've hosted hundreds of parties all over the world, and been featured in the WSJ, The New York Times, and New York Magazine.
