At the beginning of March we had the pleasure of helping our friends at Dream Events & Catering celebrate the grand opening of their new location, which features a spacious kitchen, offices, craft nook, and tasting room. Southern helped the “Dream Team” stage a tablescape using our new Eiffel Chairs, Midas Gold Velour Benches, and Artisan China. (The gray farm table in the photos is a custom piece that belongs to Dream Events, but is very similar to our new Grayson tables!) The event welcomed several hundred guests, including Nashville’s Mayor, Megan Barry! It was such a fantastic evening to support our fellow vendors in the events industry. Congrats again to Becki Annastas and the Dream Team!

Thanks to Jen & Chris Creed Photographers for sharing these images with us!

Nfocus Magazine’s annual Alfresco is a lovely event benefitting a great cause, and Southern Events was happy to provide rentals for the soiree. Held at the Westhaven Resident’s Club in Franklin, Alfresco was an unforgettable evening of Southern dining, whiskey and wine pairings, and live music. The annual event benefits Franklin 4 the Cure, which  promotes lifelong learning, leadership, preservation, philanthropy and environmental awareness within Westhaven and the greater Franklin community. The delicious cuisine was provided by The Food Company. Guests dined at our Fruitwood Farm Tables, set with our Austin Gold Flatware and Artisan China. Refreshing cocktails were served in our Recycled Wine Bottle Glassware Collection. All the details came together for a beautiful evening!

You read that right, y’all! Southern Events is coming to a TV screen near you with a series of commercials on WZTV Fox 17 News Nashville and The CW Network! We’re really excited to branch out into a (new to us) media platform. We thought it would be fun to share a behind-the-scenes look at how the shoot came together. Our product inventory is vast and versatile, so we decided to create three different commercials featuring three different styles – you get a sneak peek at all three below.  Stay tuned – we’ll be back on the blog later this week with a detailed post of all the products we used and links to our new commercials. Yay!
