On June 5, Ramapo Valley City Lifestyle officially made its debut with a launch party that transformed the Lamborghini Paramus showroom into one of the social events of the season.
Sleek cars, signature cocktails and a buzzing guest list came together to celebrate the arrival of a publication focused on spotlighting the people, brands and businesses that give Bergen County its edge. The night was a perfect blend of elegance, community and unforgettable moments that left guests asking one thing — when’s the next one?
The Team Behind the Scenes
The evening was powered by a dedicated team. Sales Director Mike Duffy brought his signature spark and community ties. Publisher Jake Slowinski and Executive Director Tiffany Slowinski provided warmth and vision, while Publication Director Carly MacManus kept every detail on track, working seamlessly with Events by LN, which produced the event with style and intention. With the support of an incredible group of interns, they created a high-energy, high-impact evening.
Natasha Ford, marketing manager at Lamborghini Paramus, was fully invested from the start — collaborative and committed to ensuring that every detail felt just right. General Manager Eddie Jones was equally hands-on, supported by a professional and enthusiastic sales and service team. Test drives of the brand-new hybrid Urus added just the right amount of excitement to an already electric night. The Lamborghini team went above and beyond to welcome guests and help the event run as smoothly as, well — a Lamborghini.
The night was more than a party; it was a testament to the power of community, collaboration and creativity. Every touchpoint, from branding to execution, reflected the magazine’s mission to connect, uplift and celebrate the people and businesses shaping life in Ramapo Valley.
A High-Octane Atmosphere
Guests enjoyed Dirty Pelican’s organic mixers and signature cocktails from Stiir Bar, including the Spicy Ramaporita and the Lychee Lambotini. Iachetti’s Kitchen served flavorful passed bites, while Chef Bill from Piatto Di Pasta wowed the crowd with an interactive station where guests made their own fresh agnolotti.
Scoops on Wheels brought gourmet ice cream magic, and Treat Me Sweet’s luxe branded cookies and cake pops disappeared fast. Guests couldn’t stop raving about the attention to detail — from the themed desserts to the flawless presentation.
The energy carried into the night thanks to music by JJ Entertainment. Allendale Flowers transformed the showroom with bold floral installations that highlighted the hybrid Urus orange. Signage by CXB. Design tied the space together from “welcome” to “thank you.” The night’s must-have photo moment?
