Anniversary in Baden-Baden
Ten years married: Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl celebrate at Brenners
On 29 June 2014, Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl married in Bedford, New York. Ten years later, on 28 and 29 June 2024, they celebrated their anniversary with 64 close friends in Baden-Baden: two days, three venues, four events. The base was Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa, where the couple have been regular guests for many years.
We at vonRock supplied the table styling for all three dinners and the lunch: china, glassware, gold cutlery, table linen, napkins, chairs and lounge furniture, each for 70 covers. The weekend was covered by People and Vogue, among others, which name vonRock Events as the rental partner. The photos in this post were taken by Diana Fischer on the Saturday, and the flowers came from Blumengalerie Knorr.

The schedule
Two days, three venues
Instead of a classic welcome party, the weekend showed Baden-Baden from its most beautiful sides: the grand hotel on Lichtentaler Allee, the historic Iffezheim racecourse and a winery among the vines above Sinzheim. We put together a separate table concept for each event, matched to the room, the time of day and the florals.

Cocktails by the Oos and dinner in the Wintergarten
Olivia Palermo’s anniversary weekend opened at Brenners. Guests walked along the Oos to the reception on the lawn and were served champagne in our gold-rimmed champagne coupes. The cocktail tables wore round tablecloths in blush to match the pink florals.
Dinner took place in the Wintergarten. Long tables in blush were decorated with moss, votives, flowers and cherry blossom branches, with fabric drapes and lights overhead. We set them with our “Tropical Bird” china, black linen napkins as a contrast and 105 speckled gold tealight holders that grew more striking as dusk fell.

Saturday, 29 June
Lunch in the Brenners Lounge at Iffezheim racecourse
On Saturday at noon, Olivia Palermo, Johannes Huebl and their guests moved to Iffezheim racecourse. In the Brenners Lounge above the home straight, we laid round tables with tablecloths in desert sage. The soft sage green echoes the track outside and makes a calm base for the florals.
Guests sat on our Louis rattan chairs with light seat cushions. The medallion back with cane webbing suits the clubhouse character of the lounge, with its striped carpet, equestrian pictures and banquettes.
Each place had a gold-rimmed glass charger topped with “Elegance grey/green shine” china, the menu card and a mustard scalloped napkin in a gold napkin ring. Add shiny gold cutlery and gold-rimmed glasses.
The florals by Blumengalerie Knorr combined white roses, moss and green votives around rattan pagoda lanterns. Little orange and olive trees brought summer into the room. Each guest found a pair of sunglasses at their place, a wink to the afternoon on the grandstand.

Saturday evening
Dinner at Ebanat at Kopp winery
Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl ended the weekend with a dinner and wine pairing at Ebanat, the restaurant of the biodynamic Kopp winery among the vines near Sinzheim. Guests arrived through a green archway, and the staircase was lined with garlands and candles. In the bright hall with floor-to-ceiling windows, long tables carried small trees, pink roses and green grapes, picking up the vineyard theme.
For this dinner we set the tables with our “Elegance white/rosé shine” china in soft rosé, gold-rimmed chargers and grey scalloped napkins, again with gold napkin rings, gold cutlery and gold-rimmed glasses for red and white wine.
We added linen tablecloths in macchiato beige, LED candles and tealights, plus a small lounge with outdoor sofas and armchairs from our Louis range.
Hire the dinner rentals:
A tip from experience: with several events in one weekend, it pays to pack a separate set for each venue, even if items like cutlery and glasses repeat. That way, lunch and dinner on the same day can be prepared in parallel, and no team has to wait for washed items between venues.
