"The most memorable gatherings are the ones that feel considered from the moment guests arrive," said Edith Bosso, Owner of Cocody. "By opening our seasonal calendar early, we can give each host the time and attention to choose the right setting and create an experience that reflects the people they are bringing together."

During the promotional period of September 1 through October 31, 2026, the named host on the signed contract for an event valued at $2,500 or more will receive one entry into Cocody's private Chef's Table promotional drawing, subject to the promotion's official rules and eligibility requirements. The selected host may reserve the Chef's Table room without its customary food-and-beverage minimum. Food, beverages, tax, gratuity and fees remain the host's responsibility.
