Natalie Vishny of Swellegant Events http://www.aswellparty.com/ and Marcy Hail of the Wyndham Hotel Costa Mesa http://www.wyndhamorangcountycom/ put together one heck of a Spooktacular event for the Association of Bridal Consultants, Orange County Chapter meeting on Monday, October 19, 2009. The theme, of course... "Monster Mash". I was pleasantly surprised that almost everyone was in costume! (Can I mention I won a beautiful hand crafted necklace and earring set by Margarette Herrera http://www.jewelrydesignsbymh.com/ for "funniest costume"!?!) Sorry, you had to see the whole costume to get the entire effect! But here's a picture of me and Paul (on the microphone) on stage... kind of hamming it up! I was really impressed with the level of creativity demonstrated by everyone!!! Patrick from Photo Booth Pro http://www.photoboothpro.com/ provided two awesome photobooths that could fit your entire posse! Some of the best moments of the night took place in those photo booths. :P "REAL" photos were taken by Joel Eckman Maus Photography. Photos posted here were taken by Joel, except (I don't want him to have to be blamed for the bad shot from my pocket camera!) for the one of Joel and me together... I figure he's always "behind" the camera, so I wanted one of us together, where you can see his cute, smiling face. Very cool guy... great photographer! Check out his fantastic work at http://www.studioemp.com/.
We were treated to a live show of musical song and dance numbers by Stargazer Productions http://www.stargazerproductions.com/. Very fun and entertaining! Rounding out the night was the costume contest and then dancing to music, DJ'd by Joe Paxton from Atmosphere Entertainment http://www.atmospheredj.com/.
The candy table featured gummi, blood dripping dracula "fangs", sour night crawlers, pumpkin twinkle pops, Reeses Pieces, candy skull & pumpkin mix... and the surprise hit... giant gummy candy corn! Everyone said those tasted like a cross between candy corn and "Peeps"! Call me next year in September to buy them from me in 3 pound bags! All was displayed on a beautiful irredescent teal and purple tablecloth provided by Kimberly Currin of BBJ Linens http://www.bbjlinen.com/. Lovely!
Great food was provided by the Wyndham Hotel, Elegant Fondue http://www.elegantfondue.com/ (yummy caramel fountain!), Pacific Bakery http://www.pacificbakery.net/, Candee by Sandee http://www.candeebysandee.com/ (duh!), and my weakness of the night... The Fry Girl http://www.thefrygirl.com/ mini doughnuts fried in hot oil right before your eyes... sprinkled with a bit of sugar... pop them into your mouth still hot... HEAVENLY!
