News Source: City Winery Atlanta

Thank you for being a part of the City Winery Atlanta family. These have been trying times for everyone, and we are so grateful for your continued support.

The length of our temporary closure is unclear at this time, but we are optimistic that it will only last a short while. Ultimately, that timing will be dictated by uncontrollable factors that we are hopeful will work in our favor sooner than later.

This decision is not one that we took lightly, and one that has been made in order to preserve the continued existence of City Winery. I believe we will return stronger than ever to serving you, our incredible guests, putting on concerts, hosting private parties, and supporting our amazing team members, but for now, we are truly in survival mode. Although this process has been more painful to endure than we initially thought, we will get through this.

In the meantime, take care of yourselves and your communities, and if you are able, please consider supporting City Winery by:

Making a donation to our Employee Relief Fund
Ordering our award-winning wine for home delivery*, with free shipping on 6+ bottles
Becoming a member of our wine club*
Attending an upcoming CWTV livestream show

Please note that throughout this pause, we are still accepting private event inquiries, and our team is available to help you plan life’s special moments - safely.

We will continue to communicate with you on our efforts throughout this pause, and we look forward to sharing hopeful news of safely reopening soon.

Peace,
Michael Dorf
Founder & CEO, City Winery

*All wine orders will ship from City Winery Hudson Valley during this temporary pause

The bridal edition will feature editorials such as trend reports, ideas for wedding planning, decor, fashion and accessories, and coverage of real weddings.
Kontrol Brides will balance between the traditional and classic bride, and the nontraditional and unconventional bride. The Kontrol Bride reader is sophisticated and fashion-forward.

“My goal for Kontrol Brides is to let little girls of color everywhere see images that they can identify with in a bridal like fairy tale courtesy of Kontrol Brides” Publisher Julian Lark.

Julian Lark, owner of Kontrol Magazine, is also excited to announce our new Editor-in-Chief of Kontrol Brides, Crystal Givens. Givens officially began her role in May 2020.

“Taking the helm of the Bridal edition of one of the world’s most prestigious multicultural fashion brands is an enormous privilege,” Givens says. “Having lived and worked in the hair industry and with the brand for years in Los Angeles, I have witnessed first-hand how the Kontrol Women are now leading the way when it comes, chic timeless style and self-expression. I look forward to championing their stories, visions and aspirations, alongside relevant brands."

After months of searching for the perfect fit for Kontrol Bride's Editor-in-Chief position, Kontrol Magazine has appointed someone who has nurtured and fostered the fashion and beauty economy within the USA but also possesses years of experience with the brand.
