With launching my blog halfway through the year I feel like there is so much to share and catch up on. In an effort to not write a novel I will give a few highlights… 2009 has been quite a year for us!
Our catering company, DCE, has taken off even more and we opened our third restaurant, Rambla right before the start of the year!
Starting in January New Orleans then had the opportunity to host PCMA which brought thousands of meeting planners to our city. We got to fill the bellies of both the Denver and Dallas CVB’s, what a treat!
Mardi Gras brought both the Olympia and Juno balls our way. Got to love feeding over 1,000 people at once!
February officially kicked off our wedding season. From NOMA to the North-Shore we took care of each and every one of our brides. I think we are just beginning to take a break from cakes, florals and champagne!
In April we had the chance to take care of the Fellows Dinner. The Fellows are those who make the donations in order to keep NOMA the magnificent museum that it is. From chicken and waffles to Riesling poached pear they were treated like kings and queens.
While keeping busy with all of the spring happenings we still found time to “give back” a little as well. Sak’s “Key to the Cure”, The Ogden Museums “Sippin’ in Seersucker”, The Feed the Children Gala, NOMA’s “Art in Bloom”, The New Orleans Hispanic “Azucar Ball”, St. Paul’s School, SSA, and The D-Day Archbishop Hannan Fundraiser are a few among the many that we participated in!
Most recently summer has set in! What a better time to get ready for LSU football! The Tammany Tigers are dear to us and we recently hosted them at Joel Champagne’s Classic Car Museum. While guests snacked on “Cochon de Lait” flatbread & crab cakes coach Les Miles mingled and took photos with everyone.
And what’s on this weekend’s agenda? Essence Festival! Thanks to LRG we will all be busy! Loa, LePhare and Republic New Orleans will be hosting endless events throughout the weekend.
Whew! What a year in rewind!
