We were so lucky to have the most beautiful weather for this Oktoberfest Celebration hosted
by MTU Aero Engines at Wickham Park in Manchester, Connecticut.

Traditional colors of blue and white were used throughout the party to help create the
Oktoberfest look.

Cocktail tables were draped with checkered linen…

And seasonal flowers were on display in oversized beer mugs.

A sign-in board was created for guests to leave a note and made for a great keepsake.

There were giveaways donning the logo of the hosts.

Traditional German fare was prepared beautifully by Ascot Catering.

Guests were entertained with accordion music by David Goclowski.

A great celebration for all who attended and in the most perfect setting. Wunderbar!

Easy! Done! Enjoy!

One of my favorite places to go out to eat with my family is Barcelona Wine Bar in West Hartford,
Connecticut. It was even chosen by my boys for their “last meal” before we dropped them off at
college. 

The venue is fantastic for a meal out but also does wonderful private events. 

I was lucky enough to plan the most perfect private pre-wedding dinner on the eve of the special
day.

This dinner had a garden theme. I dressed the tables with various potted herbs that blended
beautifully with the decor and the burlap runner.

Bowls of spiced olives were on the table to nibble on.

Rustic wood boards were used to display some yummy meats…

And cheeses for guests to enjoy before the main course.

A perfect little take home were these seed packets displayed to match the decor.

Wishing a long life of happiness to the bride and groom!

Easy! Done! Enjoy!
