Michael’s legendary status led British Vogue to feature him in their Who's Who of Miami Beach list along with the likes of Gianni Versace, Tony Goldman, Barbara Hulanicki, Bruce Weber, Helmut Newton and Mickey Wolfson, Jr.; and led the Miami Herald to crown him "the SoBe Prince" of nightlife. Capponi Group Events are consistently covered by major publications, including People Magazine and Us Weekly.
Capponi Events, LLC, which was established after the January 2010 earthquake that killed over 250,000 people in Haiti, is leading the redevelopment of Jacmel, a historic coastal town that has been tentatively accepted as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Upon completion, Jacmel will be a world-class resort ideal for luxury vacationers, one-of-a-kind events, and fashion and design industry photo shoots. Development plans include a boutique hotel set in a restored 19th century former coffee-sorting house, an infinity pool overlooking the bay, a spa, specialty retail shops, and a Venus Williams tennis academy.
