Detour Productions
events include Jacquée T. signing copies of her book Growing Up (the pain, the joy, the discoveries), and are usually combined with readings and other activities, like wine tastings, to inspire the romantic in all who attend.
The event venues have a romantic backdrop, and are hosted by establishments that add romance to people’s lives.
For example, a Detour event may be in a select wine shop, a select restaurant or clothing boutique, or an historical, classic-romantic lounge.
Each event includes a “twist” or theme in honor of the occasion.
People who attend Detour events not only enjoy Jacquée T.’s vivacious spirit and writings, but also are introduced to marvelous venues.
New: “A romantic” series, starting with “A romantic in Chicago.”
