Adding Special Touches to Your Event

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009


Everyone plans parties, whether its dinner for four, or a birthday party for 100 guests. But what is noticed most by your attendees? The special touches of course!


I had the pleasure of working with a client for a Couples Bridal Shower last month. We were planning for an intimate group of 50 guests at her home. The food was important, the beverages were important, but most of all, the atmosphere was important! The engaged couple was planning on getting married on a cruise ship, we decorated bridal shower to feel like you were boarding the ship. Guests were greeted with champagne and one of our Servers dressed in all white and a Captains hat. Once the guests entered, they were welcomed with hand-passed hors d’oeuvres and desserts by our service team.

The house was dressed with floral arrangements all over, just as you would experience on a cruise. The bar was staged outside by the pool, with music to bring you in the mood. The menu featured Cajun Grilled Shrimp on Cucumber Rounds, Ginger Soy Ahi Tuna Tartare Cornets, Crab Cake Towers, and Coconut Chicken Brochettes, to name a few. Our Little Luxury Desserts of Key Lime Pie and Vanilla Compote with Fresh Berries were the perfect night-cap.


Captivate your guests attention and make the party memorable with special touches!

Themed Parties Make a Comeback

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

From a Barbie-inspired birthday party to a Kentucky Derby celebration, themed parties are back. And they’re more fun than ever! This year, I’ve had the privilege of working on a few themed parties – here are some highlights of my two favorites!


Barbie Turns 50 Party. The guest of honor held her 50th birthday in her Orlando home. Barbie also turned 50 this year, so our client decided to go with that theme and host an adult dress-up party. We enhanced her home with hot pink lamour linens and martini-tied cocktail tables. We even covered her sectional sofa with white lamour for a more feminine touch! To further accentuate the theme, our staff (Stacey and Jeriko) had fun playing dress-up for the day. Barbie dolls were incorporated into our station set-ups, and there was even a life-size Barbie box where guests could pose and take pictures.

Kentucky Derby Party. In celebration of the 2009 Kentucky Derby, our client wanted to host a party. This southern theme was clear from the start. We paired fried green tomatoes with English tea sandwiches and sweet corn and ricotta fritters. The host even provided traditional silver mint julep cups for us to use for the traditional derby drink. Guests cheered on their favorite horse around the client’s big screen while they enjoyed the menu themed for the occasion.
