But of course - It's the Cocktail Party of choice these days and Slate Concepts nailed it!
From the invitation to the menu, from the decor to the guest attire this was a nostalgic event to remember.
The focal point of the evening (other than the future Bride and Groom) was "The Retro Bar". Vintage cocktails were shaken not stirred and flowing freely from the custom black and chrome boomerang bar designed and created by Laurie, Sarah and Hannah of Slate Concepts.
Tray passed "small bites" were enjoyed by everyone as each bite was more delicious than the next. From crab cakes with a "secret" aioli topper to mini waffle bites with prosciutto, cheese and maple drizzle (and lots in between) - each guest found a new favorite during the evening.
The entire location was turned into a black, chrome, orange and green cocktail lounge and glowed with candle lights. The guests dressed in the requested black and white attire mingled throughout the evening while Frank Sinatra and classic "Rat Pack" music played long into the evening.
This was an exceptional night of fun, delicious food and a perfect evening for several generations to gather and celebrate a wonderful occasion- AJ and Jackie's May Wedding!
We wish this wonderful couple a life filled with more happy memories.

A Wonderful Testimonial from a happy guest...
To the Hostess of the most amazing and fun couples shower:
From the moment we walked in the door we were transported to a "cool"
lounge that would make Frank Sinatra proud...with everyone in their
best cocktail dress, we traveled from room to room sipping our
manhattans and martinis, dining on delectable bites of mid-century
appetizers with updated twists and dancing to old blue eyes. No
detail went unoticed. You captured the "vibe" of the couple in
everything from the invitations and party theme to the hand crafted
cocktail bar, to the dance floor and lounge areas, to the parting
gifts of martini shakers filled with treats from the era.
This party was a true gift to all our guests and an experience they
will not forget!
