BlackPine Holdings Christmas Event!

Creating a Winter Wonderland in Woodland...



White Lights, Green Wreaths and Red Accents were used to tranform this local business into an elegant holiday environment. From the parking lot to the bar, each and every detailed element was planned and executed to give the guests an experience to remember!




Red Roses, White Hydrangeas, Orchids, Cedar Branches and Pinecones were submerged in water to create unique centerpiece arrangements. Surrounded by candles, the glasses and water created a beautiful reflective glow in the dining room. Craft cocktails were customized by a mixologist specifically for this event,  including a spiced pear daiquri that tasted like Christmas Spice!






Mortons Steakhouse catered the event and served a delicious menu! Guests snacked on Filet Mignon Crostinis and Bacon Wrapped Scallops as they sipped our seasonal cocktails. Dinner included a Fresh Chopped Salad, Perfectly cooked Prime Rib atop Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus, complimented nicely with Rombauer Vinyards Cabernet Sauvignion.




           After Dinner Bottles of Dom were popped and the
           Cigars were lit as the dining area was transformed into
           a Las Vegas Style Casino!




 


Guests were shocked to discover that they were in for a night of Risk Taking! Casino workers quickly set up Black Jack, Craps and Roulette tables while the guests enjoyed the outdoor fire place. The reveal reaction was one of the highlights of the night! Each couple was given 1000 "dollars" in chips to play with and the Top winners took home a flat screen TV, ipad, and Nintendo System!







 

Guests finished the night off with homemade holiday treats from the Dessert Bar that included spiced gingerbread, lemon bars, french chocolate bark, peppermint brownies, pecan toffee tassies, See's candy, mocha merengues, Berry Cheesecake and Delicious and Decedant Spiked Egg Nog!

Between the lavish decorations, delicious food, specialty drinks, live piano music, casino games and prizes and dessert bar- the goal to create an Experience of a lifetime for the guests was reached!
Cheers to All and Happy Holidays!
