Chocolate Fondue Heaven!

A couple weeks ago I went to a premier tasting event for Dipp'd-The Fondue Experience. I love love love chocolate so deciding whether or not to attend this event at the Alpharetta Athletic Club was not an option.
This is one of the tables set up with milk chocolate and a milk chocolate flavor creation with whiskey in it. We also enjoyed white chocolate and dark chocolate tables with delicious flavors such as pumpkin with our strawberries, marshmallows, and brownies.
A fondue is a great idea for an intimate dinner or dessert for two or a large group. Talk about delicious!

A Lounge at Your Wedding Reception

Adding a lounge at your wedding reception will be a big hit with your guests. Not only is it a comfortable place for people to congregate, but it is a great focal point if your reception room is a little on the boring side. Your rental company has many different styles to choose from so that you can get the look and feel that you desire.

Hot Drinks at Your Winter Wedding

It is that time of year again where we have to turn the heat on and bundle up to stay warm. If you are planning a winter wedding, you need to think about keeping your guests warm and toasty. Having a coffee station at your reception is one way to accomplish this task. Have your caterer provide regular and decaffeinated coffee in addition to a wide selection of flavored creamers, milk, sugar, and sugar substitutes. Everyone of your guests likes their coffee a little different, but you want them to each enjoy their cup just the way they like it down to the last drop!

Family Style Seating

Family style seating at your wedding reception is a big hit at receptions these days. Looking down a long table full of your closest family and friends is so much more inviting than everyone being spread out at smaller tables around the room. You have the option of putting just a couple of tables end to end or connecting several tables to go from one end of the room to the next.
