| Chocolate Fountains and Kids |
We often sense the fear when it comes to having a chocolate fountain at an event with small children. Don't worry. Really. It's only chocolate.
Here are some pictures from an event we did last Friday.
The kids had a blast! So did we!! |
| Ok, so I was the biggest kid in the moon bounce. It was fun!! I even went down the slide. |
Beni - we had a wonderful time celebrating "Your Day" at school.
Parents, don't worry about kids with a fountain. They are often more well-behaved than adults!

I want to share a beautiful collage of photos from an outstanding photographer Bruce Fleischer.
I promise I'll write all about our meeting Bruce very soon but I must share this with you! |
| Photos from Chocolates Galore and More |
Last night we had the pleasure of participating in the YMCA's Chocolates Galore and More! at West Belmont Place at the National Conference Center.
It is an annual fundraiser for the Loudoun YMCA.
There were so many wonderful participants in the event last night.
Last year we won the Critic's Choice for Best Dessert Presentation and were anxious to defend our title.
Unfortunately we didn't win the competition but we did have a wonderful time and are always glad to participate in this event. |
Here are some photos of our presentation.
It was titled, "Shades of Chocolate."
Enjoy! |
| Estee's Celebrations Quinceañera Show |
Last Sunday we participated in a quinceañera and wedding show at the Hyatt Fair Lakes.
|
| Our friend, Estrella Rodriguez (Estee), owner of Estee's Celebrations was in charge of putting on this show. She did a wonderful job! Be sure to click on the link for all of the services she provides. |
Here are some photos from the day!
Isn't this adorable? |
| The young ladies loved our chocolate! |
| Some ideas for table decor |
| If you are in need of a caterer, be sure to give Santiago and his wife a call. Not only is their food fabulous but their table design and presentation are fabulous too! They were named one of Reston's Best in 2009! Click on the link above for more information. |
| Thanks Estee! We'll see you soon at one of your events! |
| Whew! What a wonderful Holiday season it was for us. We were blessed to have so many clients ask us once again to be a part of their Holiday celebrations. We were also blessed to be a part of so many new clients' Holiday celebrations. We were thankful for mostly good weather which is always a concern when booking 15-20 fountains for any one day and the logistics of getting everyone where they need to be! |
| I wanted to show you a photo of a display for a lobby party from a favorite caterer of ours. It is so creative yet simple. Isn't it beautiful? |
| I've got lots of catching up to do on this blog so stay tuned for new entries! |
| Pictures from Foxchase Manor |
| On Thursday, October 29th, we had the pleasure of being at Foxchase Manor in Manassas for a lovely Bridal Open House. |
| Gretchen Wade (who works at Foxchase) also has her own business called Dragonfly Events and Design had a stunning table display. Should you want more information about her services, give her a call. She can be reached at (703) 347-5702. |
| Also there was Jim Augerinos from Perfect Honeymoons. Jim has travelled everywhere! Should you need help planning your honeymoon call Perfect Honeymoons at 703-748-3000. |
| The caterer that evening was R and R Catering. It was great seeing so many of our friends, Anne, Dianna and Nancy. I'm sorry I didn't get any pictures from their display but I can tell you that all of the guests raved about the food! Should you wish to speak to any of the designers, call them at 703.451.2798. |
| We had a blast! We brought 3 fountains - a milk chocolate, a semi sweet chocolate and an ORANGE chocolate. We thought it was only right since Halloween was just a few days away! |
| The Renaissance provided the dipping items. Everyone LOVED their presentation! Isn't that stunning? |
| Shameless self-promotion. |
| The beautiful flowers displayed throughout were provided by Janet Flowers. |
| A great time was had by all! We can't wait for the next event!! |
Last night I had the pleasure of being at the Mollerup-Child wedding in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Jennifer and Matt were 2 of the nicest people we've ever worked with! |
| Here are a few photos of them enjoying the fountain! |
| Best wishes to you in your married life! |
| Here are some pictures from the day. |
| Regie and Jag. Jag is with Event EQ which provided the lighting and sound for the event. |
| Our friend Santiago Blanco from New Age Caterers was there. Here are some of his table set ups that were on display. Also notice his plaque for the 2008 Best of Reston award! Should you ever be in need of a caterer, please think of Santiago Blanco, owner of New Age Caterers. |
| The Hyatt Fair Lakes holds a special place in our hearts. For those of you who have known Regie and me for a long time, you'll remember it is where we were married. The Ballroom was used for our wedding ceremony and then the room was turned for our brunch while we had cocktails out in the courtyard. Hard to believe it has been almost 12 years since that memorable day. Be sure to check out the Hyatt Fair Lakes if you are looking for a location to hold your special event. We can recommend it, highly! |
| Dr. Suess wrote that great poem. If you are unfamiliar with it, I encourage you to look it up and have a read. |
| It is often used as a theme for high school graduation parties. Perhaps something to remember for a graduate in your future. |
| This was the theme of an event we did the other night. |
| In keeping with the theme, this is what the tables looked like. |
| Trust me, the 350+ guests had a good time. A very good time. Thank you for letting us share the evening with you! |
