Beautiful Spring Wedding

Saturday was a beautiful day for a wedding! I helped coordinate Hanyoung and Bretts wedding, starting with a traditional Catholic mass, a Korean Ceremony then dinner and dancing at the Marriott Conshocken. Han changed gowns for all 3 parts. They were so fun to work with and really brought some creativity to the wedding.

The ice balls (from IceCaters) were a HUGE hit! and her centerpieces were a mix of high branch and candles and low flowers and candles (from Fresh Designs)(branches seem to be popular with my spring clients). The band eFusion Love rocked the house and had people jammed on the dance floor till the last song!

Photography was done by Nathan and Thran at Lightyear Studios - check out their blog for the professional pictures.

ICE, ICE Baby!

A few of my Spring client are using ice to heat up their receptions and add a little WOW!

Ice Balls are pure premium perfectly clear 2" spheres of ice that can go into each and every martini or cocktail. Perfect for that apple martini.

How about chilling a bottle of champagne in an ice bucket on the bar?

Or as a client is doing - a large 'P' initial in ice on the raw bar.

Prices are reasonable and the boxes come with instructions for serving or display. Check it out today! www.icecaters.com

Add a little Pazazz!

ICE is so HOT right now!

Consider using some ice for your next event - I love the new ice balls from Icecaters.

Make your favorite martini and have it poured over an ice ball.

Or try this recipe:
Something Blue
1 1/2 oz Hpnotiq
1 oz Dry Champagne
1/2 oz Grand Marnier
Combine and pour over ice and garnish if needed.

Ice and Easy

Last night I attended an amazing seminar and dinner all about ICE!! The event was sponsored by the National Association of Catering Executives at Harrah's Casino in Chester, PA. Ice Caters provided the beautiful displays, education info and centerpieces.

Most of us have seen the ice luge at the bar but what about ice martini glasses or ice votive holders? There was an ice bar during cocktails then for dinner every course was served in ICE!! Our first course was a Japanese Oyster Shooter served in an ice shot glass and our entree was a salad with salmon and shrimp served in a shell ice bowl.

There are so many cool things that can be done to get that wow factor. Even if you don't have the budget for ice bowls or ice glasses for every guest, what about ice serving platters with shrimp or sushi and a tray of ice shooters with cold melon soup passed during cocktail hour. Impress your guests with champagne chilling in an ice bucket set on the bar.
