A Lobster Boil on The Sand at Bolsa Chica

Summit Web Team

Summertime means beach parties. And what's better fare for a beach party than shellfish? Our Sales Director Tyler Huff, recently produced the Bolsa Chica Conservancy Annual Barefoot Ball Gala. The event was complete with a lobster boil, steel drum players, a charity auction, and lots and lots of toes in the sand. A bold white tented structure, surrounded by wood plank fencing, marked the spot in the sand at Bolsa Chica Beach where the party would take place. Decor included lanterns filled with sand and sea shells, galvanized metal buckets filled with beach grasses, and an abundance of candles in clear glass containers. Linens were crisp and white with burlap table runners, that danced gracefully in the breeze. A cozy lounge was set up for casual conversation with warm blankets to ward off any chill.Summit_Event_Caterng_Beach_PartySummit_Event_Catering_Orange_County_Beach_PartyOrange_County_CatererSummit_Event_CateringSummit_Event_CateringSummit_Event_CateringSummit_Event_Catering_Orange_County_CatererIMG_0297Summit_Event_Catering_Orange_County_CatererSummt_Event_Catering_Orange_County_CatererSummit_Event_Catering_Orange_County_CatererOrange_County_Caterer_Summit_Event_CaeringSummit_Event_CateringSummit_Event_CateringSummit_Event_Catering_Event_PlanningSummit_Event_CateringSummit_Event_Catering_Lobster_BoilSummit_Event_Catering_Lobster_BoilThis was a lobster boil to rival those seen on the East Coast. Galvanized metal bins were used to serve the seafood, sausages, and corn. Tyler knows how to take a theme, and push it over the top through food, decor and details. This menu delighted everyone who attended. We're drooling reliving this day!Tray Passed Hors D'Oeuvres

No seafood boil is complete without a bib. And we made sure each guest had one! A few guests actually needed more than one! We're quite proud of this event and give kudos to Tyler for his creativity and hard work. With all the details he had to juggle, he had a brief moment to take a picture. We can't wait to see what he has in store for future events!Summit_Event_CateringWe wish to thank the our entire team for working so hard to make this event so successful.
