A City Club Affaire- The City Club's Wedding & Event Show


The catering team at The City Club was pleased to host its 2nd Annual City Club Affaire- Wedding & Event Show this past Sunday, October 5, 2008.

Thank you to those who attended and gracious thanks to all of our participating vendors.

Our vision for the show was to create an intimate setting where guests could capture the feeling of a City Club event. We poured complimentary champagne, passed Chef Michael Munoz’s hand crafted hors d’oeuvres and delectable sweets and showcased only those vendors found on our recommend list. Each vendor on our list has developed a relationship with our team, worked events at the Club and provides services we trust to be exceptional.

Thank you to California Parking valet services for providing us with complimentary valet services. Peter Rudolfi for arranging the solo guitarist who welcomed guests upon arrival. Northern California Brides & Today’s Brides for their magazines and Marianne Kent Music for providing the lovely D’Jazz entertainment on the 10th floor CafĂ©.

Thank you to Classic Party Rentals, Napa Valley Linen, La Tavola Linen Company, for the gorgeous linens and table top displays. Floramor Studios, Floreal, Designs by Ricardo, Stacey Miller Designs, Branch Out for the beautiful, creative and coordinated flower centerpieces and arrangements. Special thank you to Elle Music & Entertainment for providing the lighting which really enhanced the overall feeling in the 11th floor Main Dining Room and created an evening ambiance during the day!

Compliments to Kathy Goodman from Well Rehearsed for representing her services by bringing in a yellow umbrella, table top displays and house-made tasty cupcake pops. All of your attention to detail really shined. Armel Reyes from Kimpton Hotels for providing the fun garters for the “Single to Sunrise or Naughty Girls” loved them!

Carolyn Wong, Cakework and Have Your Cake for the tasty cake treats and detailed cake displays. Amy Kuschel for showcasing two of her lovely designs from her latest gown collection. Stacey Wong from California Chocolate Fountain for providing the wonderful dipping items that we all enjoyed. Hyegraph Invitations & Stationary for providing gorgeous new ideas.

The Galleria Park Hotel, Nordstrom’s Fine Jewelry, Thomas Hughes Film, Tara Arrowood, Carol Irvine Photography, I DO! Wedding & Event Designs, One World Designs, and Sylvie Gil for showcasing past events at The City Club and hopefully inspiring all of our future bride and grooms.

If you missed the show this year, we do hope you can visit the Club soon as we would love the opportunity to walk you through our space and share more about all of our wonderful vendors.
