Cru Bar and Kitchen set the tone for a sophisticated chic affair, as Wealth Magazine welcomed a new addition to their family - Home Sweet Home: Home and Travel Magazine.

Specially invited guests, who came out to support the venture, did so fashionably. They all mingled over cocktails under the stars, waiting for the formalities to begin. And when they did, it was short and sweet, including a history lesson on the evolution of Wealth Magazine by Garth Walker.

The magazine, which began in 2009 as a small publication, has over time grown and then progressed to television and created a programme based on the magazine - Wealth Access. Now with two publications under their belt - Wealth Magazine and Wealth Auto Zoom, they launched a new television series in 2012 called Home Sweet Home. It was after the success of the programme that they decided to return to print with Home Sweet Home: Home and Travel Magazine.

This new magazine explores the ins and outs of buying and building the ideal home in Jamaica. They hope to stay true to their mantra of educating, entertaining and empowering their readers and audiences.

A video presentation showcasing what to expect from the magazine had the audience's full attention before everyone got to see the real deal as copies of the magazine were distributed among the intimate group for review.
