Hestia Harlow was born from a simple idea: hosting should feel joyful, not overwhelming. After decades producing some of the world’s most high-profile events—from Presidential inaugurations and global sporting events to luxury brand launches—founder Andrew Shortell saw firsthand how meaningful beautiful gatherings can be… and how stressful they often are to create. That recurring truth sparked the idea that became Hestia Harlow: A one-stop destination where anyone can host beautifully and confidently - The Mission: Make Entertaining Effortless. The world needed a platform that combined hyper-curated products, design-forward rentals, and expert hosting resources all in one place. A place that gives hosts access to designer tablescapes, bespoke décor, ready-to-pour cocktails, and thoughtful finishing touches—without the burden of buying, storing, or cleaning anything. Inspired by the cultural shift toward rental and return models—much like Rent the Runway—Hestia Harlow offers an elevated, sustainable way to celebrate every occasion. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a holiday gathering, or a milestone birthday, HH delivers everything needed to create a stunning table and a memorable experience, straight to your doorstep. At its core, the brand reflects Andrew’s belief that life’s most important moments happen around the table—and that more people would entertain if it felt easier, more inspiring, and more accessible.
