2012 Ramble Dinner

Last weekend was our Ramble! This is our Annual Member/Guest golf tournament and we were ready to impress our Members and their Guests with the best Bluegrass Yacht & Country Club has to offer! This three day event is quite impressive! One might think that this is all about the golf. As the Private Events Director, it is my job to make sure that the ladies in attendance feel welcomed as well. In this post and the next, I will be featuring two events that we really took up a notch or two.
On Friday night, we hosted the Ramble Dinner. This event gives the participants the chance to take their date out to a fabulous seated dinner at the club and spend the night dancing away in the Ballroom!

In keeping with our logo, I went with blue, white, and pops of yellow. Thanks to our friends at Fabulous Events, We got some floor-length blue matte satin cloths, white chair covers, and ultra-wide blue satin sashes. The napkins are our own in-house linens. We kept it simple yet elegant with a great summer feel!

We used all of our own in-house centerpieces for the event. With some fresh florals, golf balls, and tees, we created these fun centerpieces that kept in the theme of the weekend.

We served a lovely three course meal on Friday night. Here's the menu!

I was able to grab a couple of pictures of the salads as they were being served to give you the full effect!

We treated our Members and Guests to a gourmet coffee bar, it looked great!

So far, everyone has been in agreement that it was a great weekend! Congratulations to Chris Boger (and Happy Birthday!) and  Sam Brasili- our 2012 Ramble Champions!

2012 Ambassador Star Gala

This past Saturday night we hosted our Ambassador Star Gala. What is the Gala? It's a big ol' party for our wonderful Bluegrass Members! Those who sponsored a New Member in 2011 were invited for a night of wining and dining in our Grand Ballroom as a big thanks from all of us at Bluegrass!

The theme was "Winter Wonderland", so we decked out the Ballroom with blue, silver, and white.

I know you've seen chair covers on here before, but these are a little bit different. Silver spandex chair covers gave our chairs a modern look along with some organza ties for even more shine!

We decked out the tables with some specialty linen from Liberty Party Rental, and while we were at it 

added some silver chargers for even more shine. 

We rented some candelabras for a few tables and tied some extra sparkle on them!

We fan folded the napkins and printed some pretty menus to give the place settings a special touch. 

I love it when we mix up the centerpieces! We got some tall vases and filled them with a mixture of rhinestones, pine cones, and silver branches. We of course enhanced with a few ornaments!

To give the candelabras some height, we placed them on some clear boxes filled with more rhinestones and silver pine cones.

To round out the centerpieces, we incorporated our ever-versatile brandy glasses. We filled them with artificial snow and added some flowers, feathers, branches, and pine cones for a very winter-y feel!

For the rest of the Ballroom, we had to add sparkle to anything we possibly could! We had to add some extra bling to our chandeliers.

We found these cool icicles to hang from the corner of the service station, how pretty!

We even made sure to dress up the coffee bar.

Our Members partied the night away! We're ready a great 2012 for Membership!
