ISES goes to PLANTERRA

The entrance into Planterra

Our December ISES - International Special Events Society - meeting was held at Planterra. Located on Drake Road just north of 14 Mile, it is a fabulous venue that now is open for parties. Planterra is known for renting its trees and plants, but did you know you can purchase (or rent) anything in the store. Their prices range from a few dollars on up. They also are open 7 days a week, are a full florist for weddings and parties and now you can rent the venue for weddings, showers, corporate events, birthday parties etc. A beautiful venue.

At the registration desk, guests were greeted by Rolly Mansfield, our president and Debbie Heuchert from Champagne Chocolates in Mt. Clemens our finance chairperson.

Some of our new members include Thibalt & Moore Catering (above) outstanding food catering from 2 to thousands all over the Metro Detroit Area.

We want to also welcome Brides.com, Tattoos by An Affair to Remember, The Fillmore-Live Nation, Special Events Rental, Focus Hope and Planterra. The wall behind the bar is a "living" wall. Hand planted by the owner. Everything in Planterra is on wheels and can be moved anywhere in their venue for your event!

We also want to welcome Karen from Kroger's on Maple and Lahser. Who knew that Kroger's carries such a fine list of wines. Karen, who is a Sommelier, by the way, says they have many different wines from around the world at various prices. Worth going to Kroger for.

Finished renovating in October, the structure was brought in from Belgium. High ceilings, beautiful tile floors and an award winning in-house floral design team. What more does one need?

Plenty of room for guests and dancing.

I bought this yellow pepper plant. They have a lot of herbs and Planterra is offering an herb class in January or February (I forgot) but you can call them at 248-661-1515 and they will answer all your questions.

IF you are interested in joining ISES, please give me a call 248-626-3421. Come and be my guest at our next meeting, January 26, 2011 at Greektown Casino...hope to see you there.
