The Ambrose Hotel in Santa Monica was buzzing with invited guests and top-notch vendors for IGNITE: A Fire Luxury Gifting Lounge.

It was a great way to kick off Oscar Weekend on a sunny Thursday, and a fitting tribute to the late, beloved publicist Doris Bergman, who was well-known for her awards gifting suites over the past decade.

Presented by Nicole Lester and Heather Marianna, founders of the Merritt + Marianna Group, the all-day event featured a number of unique, luxury brands that were gifted to guests including Oscar nominees, presenters, previous winners and entertainment industry VIPs.
