This had to be one of my all time favorite events in 2010. Not only were we helping to celebrate the 50th anniversary of some of our best clients, but all of our beautiful food was highlighted by the colorful decor provided by Brent Waldoch and David Ross. They even brought in a Hollywood set designer!
The original plan was to have the food served outside to give the feel of a mercado, but once we had it all set up outside it started to rain! Not good for paper flowers or food, so we quickly struck the station and re-built them in the ample tent.
I loved this Margarita Bar featuring Cactus Pear Margaritas, Mango, Lime Margaritas and Classic Margaritas garnished with magenta orchids.
Carnitas Gorditas and Smoked Chicken Quesadillas
This was the Mercado set-up before the rains began.
The clouds moved in fast ... it was quite dramatic!
Shrimp Campechanna Cocktails along with Layered Tex-Mex Dip with Tortilla Chips
This was a Photo Booth which was personalized with photos of the honorees.
This cute Paletta cart was used to dispense bottled Mexican Beer.
Mini Baja Fish Tacos
This displaced New Orleans band was brought in as a special surprise. The original plan was for them to arrive on a trailer/stage on the River below the event site. Due to the rain, they came in thru the kitchen tent.
Dessert was our Famous Pecan Pralines and Mini Bunuelos
