What an incredible view I had today while working with a bride and groom on their upcoming wedding at Tsadi's resort. Lake Shasta is absolutely stunning!

Paella and tapas party, yes please!
This weekend the EDH team created some delightful bites for a 50th birthday party. We built a savory charcuterie table, passed traditional tapas and made a huge pan of paella for 80 satisfied guests!

Ladies, are you loooking for the perfect gift for the man in your life? This Scotch and cigar party is a great way to give him a night with his friends!
Contact me to start planning his surprise.

Can you guess what kind of fabulous party I'm working on?! Paella and Spanish tapas for 100!!! Wooohoooo!

Tsasdi resort in Lake head was the perfect destination for this over night company holiday party.
The owners, Scott and Julie were incredibly gracious and accommodating hosts. Their resort is fun and close to home.
My team provided the shopping for welcome bags, and employee gifts. We planned, decorated and catered dinner, dessert and brunch.
We created a well crafted scavenger hunt with a nice cash prize so the guests could explore the grounds of the resort, upon arrival. It was fun to watch as couples ran around repeating clues aloud to one another, in search of the baggie of cash!
Netsound's Jon Thompson kept us dancing all night!
This annual party is a favorite for our team!

This past weekend my beautiful daughter and the love of her life were married at a private residence in the foothills of Shasta county. The wedding was one of the most enjoyable parties I've planned, and my staff executed it so well. I'm excited to write a full post when the professional images arrive.

This is a good article on tipping. It may seem excessive, but the event industry is all about service. Showing appreciation for the staff you hire means more than you know.
