It is an incredible accomplishment for a boy to become Bar Mitzvah in the Jewish faith. We were fortunate enough to be present for the ceremony and celebration following this momentous event.

It was thrilling to once again be at The Phoenixville Foundry to host such a great night. The space was filled with bright colors, a snowboard theme and a space to please both the children and adults alike.

The children were treated to their own buffet of chicken tenders, mini sliders, mini pizzas and fruit with a create-your – own milkshake bar with a variety of delicious toppings made to order. The children ate like kings!

For the adults, a light and summery salad of endive and arugula with strawberries and Roquefort cheese with a pomegranate port vinaigrette started the night. Salad was followed by a served dinner of herb encrusted veal chops with truffled mashed potatoes and sautéed asparagus. Lastly, the dessert was a Chocolate Temptation with fresh berries and berry coulis.

Both the children and adults danced the night away. It was a night none of us will forget! Mazel tov!

We’re sure we weren’t the only ones who suffered from the severe storm that blew through the area recently. Power outages, downed trees and wires were just the tip of the iceberg that many locals faced. Luckily, we didn’t have any serious damage to our shop, but we did lose power to all our major appliances, which in the catering world, is beyond crippling.
 
Our two walk-in refrigerators, hood ventilation system and our walk-in freezer were all without electricity, and with ten events requiring food preparation between Friday and Sunday, we needed a solution.

Thursday evening required all hands on deck to load all our refrigerated trucks with all the food from our walk-ins. This was no easy feat, but it was necessary to make it through.
 
First thing Friday morning we received a delivery of major proportion – a tow truck pulling a huge generator to power all our electrical needs. This generator has enough juice to power half of Malvern!

With our electric back in place, it was time to make sure that our customers didn’t suffer from the slight set-back. We worked hard to make up for lost time and all ten events were successful and prompt. We strive to take bumps in the road in stride, and while some of the clients for the weekend didn’t have power themselves, they did have the service and product they expected.

When we are challenged by a repeat client to do something we have never done before and rise to the occasion to wow them once again in a whole new fashion, we don’t take this lying down. We look for twists on the traditional and flair to make their event exceptional and unique, just like they are.

We created a bridal shower unlike any other in a tented backyard setting. With purple tablecloths, gold chargers and a throne created for a princess, the event was sure to be unmatched.

We partnered with our go to vendor Sommerfield Designs to execute the décor and florals.  Jessa has a fantastic command on color combinations as well as a creative eye for unusual décor.

The tent was a large part of the décor and set the mood for the guests. It was draped with different shades of purples to create a romantic and soft feel.

The flower arrangements were strung from the tent ceiling to create an illusion of floating flowers above the guest tables. The princess for the day was treated to an oversized throne to open her gifts and to be seen by all her guests.
The tables and China were ordered in a square design instead of the traditional round to bring a more modern elegance to this affair.

We were thrilled with the outcome of this truly unique endeavor, and wish nothing but the best for the Bride to be!
