Astor Classics - Beach Party

Who says corporate events have to be dull? Certainly not us! We embrace corporate events and work closely with our clients to make their events an experience for their guests. Not only are we committed to providing delicious cuisine and outstanding service, we also want the event to be memorable. We listen to what our clients are trying to accomplish through their event. When a theme is involved, we get creative to make you look good. By doing so, guests are treated not only to an event, but to an experience that stimulates all of the senses.Event Producer Tyler Huff recently had such an event at Astor Classics Event Center.  Part event venue, and part automobile museum, it was the perfect setting for a Beach Boy's Theme. When you hear of the iconic Southern California Band, your mind envisions the beach, classic cars, Hawaiian shirts and surfboards. This venue fit the bill in every way, and Tyler took the event to another level with his attention to detail. Guests arrived at the venue in a beach shuttle that was reminiscent of a woody, by The O.C. Cruiser.Once inside the  next level of the experience continued. Guests were surrounded by gleaming classic cars, and the sounds of the "California Beach Party Band" Papa Doo Run Run. Vibrant blue and tropical linens, together with tropical flowers and small thematic touches completed the scene.Tyler created a spectacular menu that included succulent lobster. Your mouth will water when you see the entire menu:Surf and TurfGrilled Filet Mignon - Carved to Order and served with Black Peppercorn Demi-GlazeCold Water Premium Lobster Tail - With Drawn Butter and LemonFresh Garlic Yukon Gold Potato MashGrilled California Baby Vegetables - with Fresh Garlic, Herbs and Olive OilGarden FreshRoasted Butternut Squash Bisque - with Crisp Focaccia CroutonTrio of Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad - with Aged Balsamic Vinegar, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Basil ChiffonierCrisp Spring Greens - with Pancetta, Sliced Red Anjou Pears, Carmelized Walnuts, Crumbled Stilton Cheese, and served with Meyer Lemon VinaigretteTuscanyHerbed Panko Crusted Eggplant Parmesan - with Fresh Marina and Smoked Mozzarella and Fresh BasilPortobello Mushroom and Three Cheese Ravioli - with Roasted Garlic Cream garnished with Grilled Asparagus Tips and Roasted Red PepperGrilled Haricot Verts - with Dried Cherries and Almonds.Dessert SplendorSummit's "World Famous" Vanilla Custard Bread Pudding - with Salted Caramel Sauce, Vanilla Frosting, Toasted Almonds and Sliced StrawberriesTahitian Vanilla Beach and Lime Creme BruleWhat more can be said except Cowabunga, this was a hit!
