Joseph Sikora was one of the first guests to arrive making sure to greet everyone upon his entry to the restaurant.

As soon as Shanina Shaik arrived, she made her way to the branded Remy Martin sidecars wearing the Remy Martin x Members Only jacket made special for the event before taking photos with Vashtie and Joseph, and then making her way to the VIP section.
After guests arrived, Emma Medina, Vice President of Marketing for Rémy Martin made opening remarks to welcome guests and thank Marc Forgione for his involvement with Rémy Martins Circle Of Centaurs Mentorship Program. Marc Forgione then introduced the crowd to Circle of Centaurs Winner Jermaine Wright, who was able to serve his winning jerked stewed pork recipe at the event.
Earlier in the day, Rémy Martin sent a fleet of sidecars filled with influencers and media around New York City allowing pedestrians to view and post pictures of the activation on social media. #NationalCognacDay
