Perfect weather and perfect setting for a spooky Halloween Party! Guests arrived at 8 on Saturday, October 30th. My clients' Alex and Cathy entertained 100 guests at this special party. This was at their own horse barn in Los Altos Hills, no horses there anymore, but it made for a perfect setting for a great party! I had made 13 different Hor D'Ouevres items and sweets to keep the ghouls and goblins happy. Pictured are the highlights of my food! Hope you all had a safe and nourishing Halloween! See you soon!

Birthday Party Picnic Dinner "Indoors"

Catered a wonderful Birthday Party last night for new clients' Claire and her husband Don, it was his birthday celebration dinner party. We had planned an outdoor "BBQ/Picnic" feel for this party with the table outside. So with mother nature handing us 60 degree weather just days after we were sweltering in 102 degree weather, we had to move the table for 30 indoors, but it worked out great!

To enhance the feel of a picnic/bbq I used a classic red and white gingham patterned table cloth and I matched the servers with blue and white gingham shirts for their uniform. My design plan was a success giving a great summery picnic feel to the evening along with simple white roses on the tables and candles. The servers passed 4 delicious hor d'ouevres then seated salad, dinner and to top it off-birthday cake!

I still get inspired after doing hundreds of events over the years, I really enjoy it. We can get inspired together; just call me next time you want to host a party and YOU can be a guest at your next big bash!
