Event Spotlight: Stassi Schroeder’s Bubonic Plague Halloween Party at Lombardi House

Nothing says Halloween like romanticizing the bubonic plague—and doing it in total style. This October, Bronson Hospitality hosted Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules reality star Stassi Schroeder’s darkly romantic Halloween bash at Lombardi House, turning our historic Hollywood venue into a cinematic, candle-lit fever dream.

A Darkly Elegant Take on Halloween

Planned by the incredible team at Pure Lavish Events, the concept merged old-world elegance with gothic drama. Guests entered Lombardi House through flickering candlelight and black-draped archways. Floating candles hung overhead, hay bales lined the brick walkway, and velvet-draped seating created an intimate, haunted-manor feel.

Inside, antique shelves were filled with vintage mirrors, candlesticks, and bottles of Avaline wine, glowing under a warm amber hue. The setup was moody yet refined—proof that Halloween can be both spooky and spectacular.

Celebrity Guests & Glamour

Hosted by Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark, the event drew a crowd of LA’s most familiar faces. Friends and fellow television personalities gathered for an unforgettable evening filled with laughter, music, and the kind of energy only a Bronson Hospitality party can deliver.

The guest list included recognizable names from across the entertainment scene, celebrating the night in intricate period costumes that perfectly fit the “romantic plague” theme.

The Bronson Hospitality Bar Experience

Our Bronson Hospitality Bar was the evening’s centerpiece—serving bespoke drinks inspired by the night’s dark aesthetic. Two signature cocktails stole the show:

  • Plague Doctor’s Skinny Margarita – tequila, organic lime juice, agave, and a dried lime wedge

  • Bury Me Moscow Mule – vodka, organic lime juice, ginger beer, and a dried lime wedge

     

Presented with custom signage and premium glassware, every pour felt theatrical. Our experienced Bronson Hospitality bartenders and bar-backs, kept drinks flowing all night while remaining personable and polished. High-volume service never looked this good.

Behind the Scenes: Vendors & Partners

Every detail came together thanks to a team of creative partners who elevated the atmosphere:

From perfectly on-theme cocktails at the bar to the perfectly styled furniture pieces from Found Rental Co., every design element reflected the gothic-chic spirit of the night.

Why Lombardi House Was the Perfect Setting

As one of Bronson Hospitality’s signature Los Angeles venues, Lombardi House balances historical charm with versatility. The white farmhouse façade, brick patio, and vaulted interior barn provided the perfect backdrop for Pure Lavish’s dramatic draping and candle installations.

This Halloween soirée joins a long list of unforgettable events hosted across our portfolio—Vermont Hollywood, Casita Hollywood, Serra on Vine, and Studio Eleven43—each designed for premium production, immersive experiences, and world-class hospitality.

Cheers to a Hauntingly Good Season
