Washington DC's Most In-Demand Hostesses And Socialites

Ashley Taylor, 30, is without a doubt Washington's queen bee, but after her marriage to FedEx heir Matt Bronczek, she is making major headway to ditch the junior circuit for events like the prestigious Meridian Ball. Well, perhaps not "ditch;" she was spotted at the Washington Ballet's Dracula Soiree, an event she typically spearheads, but this year made way for the Deylami sisters as the new co-chairs of the soiree. Host obligations: Young Humanitarian Co-Chair of the Refugees International Gala (in May); Co-Chair of the Susan G. Komen Honoring the Promise Gala (September); Meridian Ball; founder of the Once Upon a Prom foundation; steering committee of The Washington Ballet; Bright Beginnings. Day Job: She has plans to launch a socially-responsible jewelry line in 2013, not to be confused with her famous grandmother's line of political gems (Ann Hand).
