JOANNANo comment

Today we are chatting about allergies and food preferences coming into play when you are hosting an event! As an Event Coordinator I have definitely seen the increase of food preferences and allergies over the past few years. Overall people have shifted their outlook on eating and health which has become more prevalent when planning meals for groups at event.

After receiving everyone’s food requirements it can get overwhelming very fast. This can definitely make things a little more difficult when planning a meal for a group of people but I find it a fun challenge to try to incorporate everyone’s needs and still have an amazing spread for everyone! I’ve gathered some tips below that have helped me over the years to to help with the process and make things as easy as possible for you.

ENTERTAINING WITH ICE CUBES

JOANNANo comment

I know the title sounds a little crazy…..but hear me out! I think most people definitely don’t think of ice cubes as anything other than simple drink cooling tools but they can be so much more! Exhibit A below – how pretty do these look !? Essentially you can dress up your party with a little water and flowers! Ice cube trays in general are so versatile for life (freezing herbs with oil or leftover coffee etc.) but they really step it up when it comes to your next special event!

SPRING INSPIRATION COCKTAILS

JOANNANo comment

This new Spring weather has me counting down the days until we can be sipping drinks on the patio…and I say “new” weather since we just had a freak ice storm last weekend! Crossing my fingers that this 15 degree Celsius weather stays with us and takes us right into summer.

As we are heading into Spring finalllly, I thought I would share some amazing cocktails that really get me in the mood to open my windows and enjoy the nice breeze. It’s been a while since I shared some amazing things from other entertainers and I can’t wait for you to check out the below!

Now these are calling my name for the next brunch I host or even for Mother’s Day. They contain tea so I am officially stating they are more healthy than not (please don’t tell your doctor I said so!). The colour from the hibiscus leaves is amazing and you never have to ask me about anything containing rosè – I always say yes!

ENTERTAINING DIY: CHOCOLATE DESSERT BOWLS

When having people over I love trying new things and making at least one item on the menu really stand out. Usually I pick between the appetizers or desserts and try to make them unique. These chocolate bowls are the perfect way to make your next dessert extra special! They only involve a few steps and can be prepared ahead of time as well. Use your imagination with the filling – just try to avoid hot items unless you really want a large melting mess!

PARTY DECOR DIY: LARGE BLOCK LETTERS

JOANNA2 comments

As I’ve mentioned before I really love party decor….like a lot…hence me setting up this good ol website! I love planning party decor even more when it involves friends! Our good friends, Kusala and Marcus, were planning their adorable son’s Theo’s 1st birthday party and I had the opportunity to help with the decor setup! There was a large area in the venue where we wanted to fill space and create a photo zone that people can mingle around and take pictures at. I came up with the idea of making some life size ABC blocks that would occupy the empty space but also fit well into the children’s party theme.
