Beautiful summer parties 

7/20/2016

Summertime is always wonderful for entertaining. You can create the perfect flow, starting with lush gardens for cocktails, followed by the main event in the house. Arlene and the team at Go2 Event Planner follow this approach when we planned, styled, and catered a luxe July bridal shower in a  beautiful art-filled home. We used the theme, "Beauty of Hydrangeas " to create a whimsical and artistic tabletop.

The healthy summer menu was filled with seasonal salads, grilled fish, kabobs of grilled rosemary chicken, ciabatta bread topped with grilled vegetables and meyer lemon essence, and more, all presented in sleek stainless silver platters.

The china showcased hydrangea colors of white, light blue, and dark purple, next to crisp white linen napkins, accented with faux-jewel napkin rings.

Perfect planning by Arlene and flawless execution by the whole team made the event a wonderful and delicious celebration for the guests, and a stress-free success for the hostess, on a beautiful summer afternoon.

The New Season Awaits

Each year I am so delighted to cater in the Hamptons, our bucolic, peaceful, and simply gorgeous home.  Why is it that The Hamptons never cease to engage us with such beauty and a sense of calm? We are at our best, feeling healthy, eating healthy, exercising, and  entertaining our friends with great spirit and a hearty welcome back to the season.

Entertaining is where my creative skill sets come in to play. Indeed, my with experience assisting clients for over 25 years, I can create a sense of calm.  My expertise is in delivering the the confidence to a client that all will be well, and their event will be implemented expertly and beautifully.​

Where to start and how to do it?  Those questions can be overwhelming to even experienced hosts and hostesses. My job is to listen, and guide, then create a menu. After a walk-through, and final details, the vision becomes a reality.  On the “ Day Of”, all is orchestrated, and my clients trust me to “lead the band”.  The talented  crew unloads the luxe rentals, and I create the look of the tabletop presentation, with seasonal flowers pouring out of a vase, accented with fruits and vegetables.  The emphasis is on the “wow” and the beauty.  Perfect execution means impeccable staffing, careful timing, proper flow, and of course, the scrumptious cuisine that is perfectly in tune with the event and the venue.  While I conduct the event orchestra, my client gets the chance to relax, and be a stress-free host host that enjoys their guests, has relaxed conversations.  They can actually listen to the music of their friends talking and enjoying the party !

Cake, Chestnut Hill

Cake, the glorious restaurant in a Chestnut Hill greenhouse, is stunning and simply a delicious way to start a Sunday. Frittatas, buttermilk waffles topped with berries, scones, raisin Danish, or pancakes dusted with sugar are all excellent options. I get the cowboy ribeye steak and eggs -  pure protein that is simply delicious. The place is part of a gorgeous flower shop and the outside is covered with heavy winding wisteria branches that makes me swoon. The NY Times, my sweet husband, and this gem are a delightful way to unwind and savor good things in life.
