Unforgettable Beginnings: How One Dinner Elevated the Magic Behind You Deserve Champagne

A Serendipitous Meeting That Changed Everything

Some people walk into your life, and you just know they were meant to be there. That’s exactly what happened when Gigi and Cecilia met. It wasn’t a networking event or a business pitch, it was a birthday dinner. One of those cozy gatherings filled with laughter, clinking glasses, and the quiet magic of good timing. What began as casual conversation over wine soon blossomed into something far more meaningful. Within minutes, it was clear: this was a divine alignment. 

More Than Champagne: A Shared Heart for Care and Celebration 

By the time they met, Cecilia had already been following You Deserve Champagne on social media. The message? Pure magic. The brand spoke to her, not just because of the aesthetic, but because of the soul behind it. When she met Gigi, everything clicked. Both women were navigating seasons of caregiving, the kind where you're constantly showing up for others while juggling invisible weights. They didn’t have to explain much. There was an immediate, unspoken understanding: “We know what it means to pour into everyone else, even when our own cups are nearly empty.” That quiet recognition laid the foundation for what would eventually become a beautiful partnership.

From Dinner Conversation to Business Partners

That one dinner turned into strategy sessions, immersive champagne tastings, and deep creative collaboration. As their connection grew, Cecilia became not only Gigi’s business partner and coach, but also a trusted mentor. With Cecilia’s experience in marketing, styling and event planning, and Gigi’s gift for hospitality, emotional connection, and vision, they became obsessed with elevating YDC. They expanded the event experiences, took wine trips together, and poured their shared passion into the brand. From elevated accessories to customized setups, every decision was driven by their commitment to making You Deserve Champagne an unforgettable, intentional, joy-filled experience.

The Vision: Pause. Presence. Power. 

You Deserve Champagne is more than a pop-up bar or a cart with bubbly. It is a symbol, a pause, and a lovingly styled experience that gently reminds women of their worth in every moment. It’s about presence and purposeful joy. Whether it’s a wedding, baby shower, corporate gathering, or solo celebration, every pour is a tribute to the women who do it all—with grit, grace, and heart.

Here’s to You. Always.

What started with one dinner became a brand with a mission that ripples through every woman it touches. The message is simple yet profound: You don’t need to wait for someone else to give you permission to celebrate. You Deserve Champagne is about celebrating yourself, on your terms, without waiting for a special day. You are worthy. So here’s to timing, to connection, and to the women who remind us that life deserves to be celebrated, often and on purpose.
