Speakeasy Holiday Event

HolidayParties ain't what they used to be. Not everyone wants standard holiday decor and fare. Our clients love to think outside of the box, and we love to play along and be creative right along with them. This client wanted to create a Speakeasy for their holiday party. It included a murder mystery element. Think Chicago and gangsters! Guests entered the party in what appeared to be a bank lobby. They visited the teller who gave them a password to enter through a shady speakeasy door. Roaring 20's attire was highly recommended and guests took photos in front of a bank vault door that apparently looted by some mobsters. The specialty cocktail of the evening was the Moscow Mule. Because only a classic cocktail could meet this theme. It was all there for the taking!

We provided food stations that kept everyone well fed and um...hydrated!As in the days of the Roaring 20's the supper club had only the finest of foods that displayed the era's decadence. While mingling and enjoying a mule or two guests enjoyed tray passed appetizers that included

Thin sliced filet mignon, smoked provolone and arugula on toasted baguette with creamed horseradish and drizzled with white truffle oil.
Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup Shooters with Sage and Fontina Mini Grilled Cheese
Coconut and Beer Battered Shrimp with Tangerine Mustard Dinner

Decadent food stations with only the finest of cuisine awaiting everyone. There was a seafood station on ice and an interactive food station as well. The mastermind behind this customized menu was Event Producer, Pam Aki. As you can tell she had fun with designing this event. She really pulled out all the stops for this special client. The stations included:

Luscious Fresh Seafood Display with a Snowflake Ice Sculpture provided by Ice Bulb. Guests enjoyed lots of Jumbo Prawns, Blue Point Oysters, Little Neck Clams, Crab Claws and more. They were all served chilled on a bed of seaweed. It's this kind of detail that sets us apart!
Salad Bar with various selections. The Wedge was a big hit, as it's a classic and it's as beautiful as it is delectable.
Boneless Braised Short Ribs with Black Peppercorn Sauce and Mashed Potatoes with Lobster Cream Sauce
Interactive Mongolian Station where guests were delighted to select their favorite items for the Chef’s to prepare while you wait.
