Catering Hip Tip by D’Amico Catering

“Don’t let a themed event tie your hands in the menu selection.  Rather than forcing every menu item to fit, select items that work together and that you and your guests will love.  Then use themed buffet décor, china, or garnishes that tie the theme and the food together.”

Purple Explosion at Le Meridien Chambers Hotel

I’m going to admit that the color purple scares me with events, as it can come across very cheap if you aren’t careful.

However, the purple explosion at Le Meridien Chambers Hotel had the opposite effect.  You know you nailed it when the client walks into the space with wide eyes of delight. 

Generation Photography did such a beautiful job capturing the feel of the space.  When I told Summer Harsh Botanical Artistry that I wanted to go with phaleanopsis orchids, there was hesitation as the orchids are bloody expensive.  But as the room came together, the floral with the linens and the ghost chairs from Linen Effects just worked well.  Add the lighting from Instant Request, and the intimate event had a finished feel to it.

The clients toasted with wine as well as the signature drink, Passiontini.  I’ll drink to that.

Thanks to Brenda and Margie from D’Amico Catering making sure that the event executed flawlessly.  And thanks to Chef Jack Raben for nailing the food, spot on!

Spring is in the Air!

Spring was definitely in the air at the Walker Art Center for this intimate corporate event.  The apple blossoms really did give a sense of the warm weather coming upon us.

Love to Generation Photography for the beautiful images and thanks to Summer Harsh Botanical Artistry, Apres Party & Tent Rental, Instant Request (lighting), D’Amico Catering and the Walker Art Center for helping make this beautiful event.
