On Monday evening, John Legend and Stella Artois teamed up to set the mood for a summer of sophisticated hosting experiences with the launch of the brand’s ‘Host Beautifully’ campaign.

A stunning ranch just outside of Los Angeles was the setting for the sunset soiree, which served as the perfect backdrop for the unveiling “The A-Z Guide to Host Beautifully,” an expert-developed guide to inspire the next generation of great hosts.

During the event, the award-winning singer serenaded guests with an intimate, musical performance, which included chart-toppers like “Ordinary People” and “All of Me” as he raised a chalice to months of entertaining during the summer ahead.

He discussed his personal tips on hosting, from setting a mood with music to his personal BBQ tips and chatted about cooking at home with model wife Chrissy Teigen.

“I love hosting a good party.  My key ingredients for sophisticated summer soirees are good people, great music, some juicy barbecue and plenty of Stella Artois,” said Legend.  “It was wonderful to set the mood for guests high in the sky and toast to a summer of hosting beautifully. I know a thing or two about entertaining; hopefully my tips can help you up your hosting game too.”

The crowd later ended the night with a toast in a spectacular hot air balloons over the skies of Southern California at dusk. 

Following the launch event, Stella Artois is taking “Host Beautifully” on the road to elevate the hosting skills of consumers from coast to coast. The Stella Artois “Host Beautifully” campaign will make regional stops at summer festivals and events across the United States.  At select stops, an expert from “The A-Z Guide to Host Beautifully” will educate guests on how to turn an ordinary gathering into an extraordinary experience with Stella Artois.
