RG2 Communications, an international hospitality, design, and lifestyle PR agency founded by Ross Belfer and Grace Hitchen-Hilsley, announced its appointment as agency of record for Svarin Creative, the global event design and production studio founded by acclaimed designer Rishi Patel.
Founded by Patel after more than fifteen years designing high-profile celebrations around the world, Svarin Creative operates as a global atelier specializing in transformative event design and full-scale production. Headquartered in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood with an additional office in Chicago, the firm produces weddings, celebrations, and cultural events across the United States, Europe, and the Caribbean. The studio soft-launched in July 2025 and officially entered the global stage in 2026 with a robust calendar of international events. Upcoming projects include celebrations across New York, Aspen, Vail, Maine, Rhode Island, Chicago, Ireland, and St. Tropez.
Patel has been recognized among the world’s leading wedding and event designers by Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Brides, and Martha Stewart Weddings. His portfolio includes work for some of the most influential figures and families in the world, including events for Michael Jordan, Barack and Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, the Peltz-Beckham wedding, a private party featuring Elton John, and numerous private celebrations for global leaders in business, technology, entertainment, and philanthropy.
Known for his belief that true luxury is defined by guest experience and emotional impact, Patel approaches every project as a fully immersive design narrative—where architecture, florals, lighting, cuisine, and service converge to create unforgettable moments.
“Rishi has fundamentally redefined the possibilities of modern celebration,” said Ross Belfer, co-founder of RG2 Communications. “His work sits at the intersection of design, architecture, hospitality, and experience—creating environments that are immersive, emotionally resonant, and visually extraordinary. We are thrilled to partner with Rishi and Svarin Creative to further position the studio as a leading global authority in experiential design and luxury events.”
Under the new partnership, RG2 will lead integrated communications across North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East, spanning strategic positioning, media relations, editorial storytelling, digital visibility, and brand partnerships. The mandate includes long-lead editorial development, founder-profile opportunities, broadcast and digital placements, and curated collaborations aligned with Svarin Creative’s growing international calendar of events.
