Aim to please!

Hello Andrea

I just wanted to personally thank you for all the hard work and assistance that you provided to Belinda with the beautiful invitations!!! She loves them and is extremely happy with them. You went "above and beyond" the call of duty and we wanted you to know that both of us appreciate you very, very much!

I look forward to future opportunities to work together with you. Best wishes for continued success!

What's hot and what's not in 2010

A great website that I love to surf and enjoy getting ideas from is MitzvahMarket.com. It is colorful, informative and full of creative ideas. The only bad thing is, all of their vendors are on the east coast. BUT NOT TO WORRY MICHIGAN, we have wonderful vendors, right here in Michigan, to help you put on fabulous parties.

Now here is what is hot and what is not according to Cheryl Kahn-Brocco, who is the Director of Catering for The Glazier Group. Cheryl has extensive experience in hospitality and oversees one-of-a-kind events for her clients at Bridgewaters, Twenty Four Fifth in New York City and The Reach Resort, Key West, Florida.

Here are Cheryl’s “What’s Hot” and “What’s Not” in catering and party trends for 2010:

WHAT’S HOT: Fried Chicken vs. WHAT’S NOT: Sliders
