Ultimate Tablescape Challange Participants

It's been a while. Things have been really hectic around here. One of the more exciting things happening is our selection to participate in the Riedel Crystal & BRIDES magazine (National publication) Tablescape Challange. Competing against a handful of event designers from around the country, our challenge was to create a tablescape design for a wedding or similar upscale event, utilizing Riedel and Nachtmann products. We will be sending everyone details on where to vote to make sure you vote for us.
Check out our design! More pictures available soon!!

Recently we worked with Gaby and Frank on their beautiful wedding at the Spanish Monastery. Deep reds, purples and gold transformed the Monastery into an amazing castle like setting. See some sample images from Hitz photo. Here are some nice words Gaby and Frank wrote us. We appreciate their kindness .

"Hi Maggie! Sorry it's taken so long to write you guys, but it definitely has no reflection on how absolutely wonderful we thought everything was! Everything came together so beautifully. The flowers were beautiful, the food was delicious (I'm sure you could tell while we were inhaling the hors d'oeurves...hehehe), the service was great and all of the small details, that I had a lot of, were taken care of. We got so many compliments on how beautiful everything was. Also, the DJ was awesome, he kept everyone dancing the entire time, the cake was beautiful and I just saw some of the pictures on the Hitz blog and they came out so cute! You and Nicole did such a wonderful job; I felt very comfortable leaving everything in your hands. Everything was perfect and I couldn't be happier that we chose to use your services for our special day. I will definitely be recommending Fetes and Events to family and friends and I'm sure they will be asking! Thank you so much for your hard work and professionalism...you guys are great!" -Gaby and Frank
