NACE - Sacramento

NACE is the National Association of Catering Executives and our Sacramento Chapter is a strong force in the Sacramento catering and event community.  Our October meeting was held at the Flower Farm Inn in Loomis, California.  The proprietors, John & Annie Bowler, were fabulous hosts.  The property is absolutely gorgeous and the event space is fantastic.  If would would like to know more about this very special place, visit their website at http://www.flowerfarminn.com.  The wonderful appetizers and meal were catered by the incomparable All Seasons All Reasons Fine Catering.  Our Chapter president Monty Montgomery and his business partner Chef Josh Garcia outdid themselves.  The food was a feast for the eyes and for the appetitie.  You can find the dynamic duo and their team at http://www.allseasonsallreasons.net/.  Here are a few photos from our amazing evening.  Thank you to Diana Miller Photography for the photos; http://www.dianamiller.com/.  Flowers were created by yours truly; http://www.ambiencefloral.com/.  Enjoy.

Our fabulous MC/DJ for the evening was Mike Regan of Mr. DJ Service.  It was so much fun having Mike take the theme and run with it!  Everyone enjoyed the Oktoberfest themed music and the Oktoberfest themed MC!  http://www.mrdjservice.com/





The decor was inspired by the colors in a traditional German beer stein.  The caramel and blue infuence was seen in the linens and flowers.  The pewter was reflected in the chargers and china.  Flowers by Ambience Floral Design


This a the moment Mike welcomed back our fearless leader, Monty Montgomery, after an extended absence.  The whole group was so delighted to have his smiling face at our meeting!

Courtney & Chris in Squaw Valley

Courtney and Chris created so many wonderful memories in the Squaw Valley and Lake Tahoe area so there was no question where they would tie the knot. The weather was gorgeous, the scenery was gorgeous and so were the bride and groom! Thanks to Jeff Sharpe of Sharpe Photographers, Inc for the beautiful images.
