Well it was cold have to say, it took me a day to defrost, but we enjoy a successful event last Saturday Evening. We had the pleasure of doing Our Lady of Assumpitons first and hopefully annual Christmas party.
Two hundreds and seventy guests enjoy a nice sit down meal. The gym was transform and guests scatter in braving the cold. The band was terrific, guests enjoy dancing, socializing and eating. We thank all who participated in the planning, and our team for the executing. I hope you all warmed up and thank you for your hard work. Pictures to follow..

Happy New Year 2010
Well another year has come and gone. We would like to thank all of
our clients that continually support us and allow us the honor to serve them.
To our team, thank you with out you we are nothing, your service, dedication goes
above and beyond. Thank you to the families of our team, with out your support they would not be able to do such a wonderful job. We know sometimes the hours and times are hard for a family and we appreciate your support.
aha another year, new trends, new idea and a time to create. That is one of the things we enjoy, at least here in upstate. It is not a normally busying time, holiday are over, the last of the January Holiday parties are winding down and we take that time to re organize, regroup and create.
I am busy coming up with new menu, new stations and hopefully 2010 trends.
Elegant Touch did a lot last year with fresh local ingredients and try to reflect that in our menus and presentations.
We had some fantastic events and clients and we thank you all for your continual support and the honor to serve you.
Looking forward to a wonderful exciting year.

Out Door Events Things to Consider
Outdoor wedding are great especially in the Upper NY State region, summers are normally warm and somewhat dry (except for this year), fall is beautiful and romantic.
Here are some things to think about when planning and out door reception.
First you need to inform your guests so they can dress appropriately. (dresses, shoes)
You may want to prepared with water, bug spray, umbrellas and even paper fans (which are a great favor)
Things to think about:
Is there privacy if you are using a public space make sure to reserve a secluded spot to prevent unwanted guests
do you have a back up plan in case of bad weather
Will you be able to hear you may want to rent a sound system or mics
Decor Idea's
Let the setting help you don't compete with mother nature but instead enhance it, let it also be your color palette and get your decor ideas from it.
Flowers
outdoor wedding calls for flowers that can handle the weather both hot and cold, you may want to stick with mums, calla lilies, sunflowers even alstromeria. use loose arrangement in galvanize pots, wood boxes, pails even bird baths and urns.
Most of all when planning and outside event you need to lighten up and go with the flow, if you are the type of individual that needs to control a situations and out side reception might not be your best way to go. Hiring the right team is extremely important and makes the event go much easier. But enjoy nature there is no prettier setting.
