About VAz Media

What is VAz?

VAz was created with the idea for women to come out and celebrate themselves for a night of Feminine, Fabulous, Fun!

The events are one night in a beautiful atmosphere to enjoy shopping, pampering, socializing and entertainment. Unique fashion and beauty vendors, sampling sips from the latest cocktails, food tastings from local restaurants, aerialists, dancers, runway shows and more!

VAz events have partnered with various charities including United Way, Food Share, Our Little Brothers and Sisters Organization for the Haiti Relief Fund, Susan G. Komen for the Cure CT,  CT Womens Education And Legal Fund, MS Society Ct Chapter, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Aids CT helping to raise money for these wonderful causes.

If you have never attended we hope you can make one and see all the “fabulousity”! If you have attended, thank you for coming out!  (The events are 21+, unless otherwise noted)
