I realize it's been over a month since my last post! Due to my full-time role as Catering Manager at Calhoun's Catering, I was busy most of August with the on site coordination of events. One of these included a wedding at The Museum of Vancouver. I have blogged about this location before, and I can not say enough what a beautiful backdrop this was for a ceremony and cocktail hour. Guests sat facing the ocean and scenic Vanier Park as the couple exchanged vows. Afterwards, food and beverages were served inside the room adjacent to the patio as well as on the patio surrounded by lush gardens. Guests nibbled on platters of Mediterranean grilled vegetables, caprese salad, olives, rustic breads with cheeses and dips. The cake was a vanilla sponge cake with whipped cream icing and berries (both in the filling and on top) - also made by Calhoun's. Just past the patio and gardens, the couple with their friends and family took photos with ponds, willow trees, the city scape, North shore mountains and ocean as their backdrop.
In addition... I have just returned from a European Vacation! I spent four days walking the streets of Paris, and then close to two weeks in Spain. I've returned with inspiration of course... the romantic Parisian streets and traditional french bistros from Paris. From Spain I bring back thoughts of the ocean, tapas, intricate tile work from some of Gaudi's architectural masterpieces, cascading flowers and cava (sparkling wine).
Photos, photos, photos and more photos will be coming soon! And more regular blog posts of course. I'm beginning work on my new website soon and am very excited to unveil it!
