Second Tuesdays Does it Again! Another Home Run!


February’s Second Tuesdays turned to be another hit for many of our lucky brides and grooms who visited their Catering Managers for a tour, champagne and hors d’oeuvres. Chef Michael Munoz prepared tow of his favorites – a refreshing tuna tartare offered on a light crisp and his truffled croque monsieur – often the groom’s favorite!

Our Vendor Spotlight was a true treat! We had Artists in Music, Classic Party Rentals, Under the Chuppah, Butterfly Cakes and La Tavola Linens. Having such a great group of industry professionals available to our guests, I noticed that our visiting couples were really able to get important one-on-one advise, coaching and inspiration.

Not only were guests able to taste (in my opinion) The Best Red Velvet Cake around by Sonya Hong’s Butterfly Cakes, but they were also able to look at her light-hearted and elegant designs to see how her cakes are a perfect fit for an impeccable wedding indulgence.

Once the cake was selected, we introduced our guests to Classic Party Rental’s Gwen Ortiz who was standing by to give that creative inspiration and advise on how you can serve your cakes on a whimsical plate, or bring a pop of color and originality to your wedding day décor!

Peter Rudolfi of Artists in Music, mingled through The 10th Floor Café discussing different musical options for any musical flavor and budget. Even a bride and groom who thought they had found the perfect band listened to Peter’s careful advise on how to select a band that you can really trust to bring tapping toes and big smiles to you and your guests for the big celebration.

Carol Attia, the Bay Area’s leading Chuppah designer showed guests her elegant and colorful pictures of Chuppahs she has done for weddings at The City Club and throughout San Francisco’s top venues.

And to add a final pop of fun to our space, La Tavola Linens brought us edgy and elegant linens that offered tantalizing textures and crisp colors!! It’s amazing what fun linens will do to a room! The new Company has colorful books filled with all of their newest and latest linen options.

Definitely ask your City Club Catering Manager to connect you with any of our visiting Second Tuesdays Spotlight guests to make your wedding day exciting & different from any other wedding you’ve ever been to!

March 10th is our next Second Tuesday Open House. Please mark your calendar and contact your Catering Manager to schedule an appointment or let her know that you’ll be visiting with your friends, family or vendors for a planning session. We’ll have another great group pf Spotlight Guests to introduce you to. Stacey Miller Designs, Denon & Doyle, Lisa Huffman Hair Designs and Under the Chuppah will be available to give you their one-on-one time to talk with you about your wedding day.

See you on March 10th!
