September Newsletter

Hi There! My name is Hanna Anderson and I will be the new Event Designer

for The Modern Edge Events & Catering company. I am so happy to be here

and I look forward to working with as many of you as I can!

What are you having the most trouble

with when planning events?

I’ve asked brides and event organizers what they have the most trouble in and

the responses are rolling in with concerns about timelines and organization.

Why is this a problem? A lot of clients leave the planning solely up to the event

planner, which creates a big disconnect. It is essential to be involved in the

planning of your event. How else can you guarantee you’ll get what you want

in the time that you need.

What we do to solve the problem: Create a personal timeline and match it to

the event planner timeline; creating a middle ground for what both think is

best for the event. I highly recommend checking out Pinterest to get an idea

of what day-of coordinator entails and keeping it organized in a tabbed

binder. It’s more than you think! Try to map out as many details for the event

at the beginning of the planning process, and ask any and every question that

comes to mind. You’ve heard that no question is a stupid question, and it’s so

true! Keep with it. Check in weekly, or monthly, depending on how far in

advance the event is set! Try the app Wedding Happy for wedding planning.

Fall Favorites Coming In Hot:

• Pumpkins- This one is up to you folks! The pumpkin is a constant favorite throughout the years

so I challenge you to think of something you’d like pumpkin in and we’ll cook something up, just

for YOU and yours.

• Cranberries- The Chimayo Roasted Turkey Breast is a delectable golden roasted turkey that

has Giblet Gravy AND Orange Cranberry Sauce that’ll invite fall time in!

• Figs- If figs are your style, try our Poached Pear and Camembert Tartlets with FIG PUREE!

• Acorn Squash -If you snag an Italian Buffet, you have the option of a vegetarian baked ziti

with Zuchinni and Squash! Gluten free pasta or dairy free is an option to appeal all dietary needs!

Featured Menu Item of September:

Okay, so with football season arriving, I couldn’t just pick one! These menu items are perfect for any football kickoff party you’re planning! Both items are easy to snack on while sweeping the

room making bets & pretzels and pizza have game time written all over them. Bring us along for the party and you won’t have to worry about a thing; we package leftovers up, sweep and wipe

down the countertops. You’ll get that much more time to celebrate with friends when the

Bronco’s win 😉 These items are self-serve stations AND are only $8.50 Per Person! Bonus is you get THREE flatbreads for the price of $8.50 PP. Check out our website to pick your third and we’ll

get this party started.

Mile High Pretzel Station Fig Flatbread Buffalo Chicken Flatbread -Jumbo Handmade Pretzels, -Proscuitto de Parma, -Grilled Chicken, Diced Tomatoes,

Spicy Beer, Mustard, Green Chili shaved Fontina Blue Cheese Sauce

Queso, Smooth Gouda Dip

Featured event of August:

This Bohemian Style Picnic by the Lake was the perfect end to the summer.

Wedding Whatnots:

Humble tiers and topper-less cakes have officially arrived.

Rather than adorning cakes with fondant designs or sugar

flowers, couples are opting for a clean, textured look,

dressed up with small bunches of blooms or greenery.

Instead of completely bare tiers, translucent cakes have a

thin veil of frosting with just a bit of the cake showing

through. Dress it up with flavorful drizzles of caramel or

ganache. As for size, bigger isn’t always better. Think small.

Couples are still opting for the classic cake cutting, but

they're also supplementing it with fun, unique treat

alternatives come dessert time.

Long gone are the days of the ugly bridesmaid dress that

you can “shorten and wear it again!” {Has anyone

actually done this?}

Textured and fresh fabrics are making a splash in the

wedding scene this year. A welcome relief as the ghosts

of dresses past can stop adding to their inventory and

haunting me at night. Velvet, lace and silk are all fun

materials to give your bridesmaids extra confidence for

that long walk down the aisle, and you the look of

ultimate sophistication and grace.

As fall is playing hide & seek, deep colors such as emerald

green, navy blue and cranberry are taking precedence

over the lavender theme of this past spring.

Corporate Corner:

Three Fresh Ideas for Corporate employee bonding:

-Volunteer- Volunteering always brings out one’s good side and it’s a great ice breaker to get to know the girl in

cubical 3D that eats popcorn every day for lunch. It feels good to help those less fortunate. Try collecting items for

Hurricane Harvey, Houston needs as much help as they can get. They’re looking for clothes, sleeping necessities,

hygienic materials and so much more. Visit the Red Cross website to figure out what else!

-Trampoline Park- Trampoline parks like Sky Zone, Altitude and Urban Air have become prevalent ways for kids to

have fun and hang out with friends. But why can’t the same be true for adults? With offerings like dodgeball and

basketball games while bouncing, trampoline parks are a great way for your office to embrace their inner child and

have fun getting to know one another.

-Go to a Brewery and Tasting Night Out- You can’t beat beer and our food! Come by our brewery night when we pair

up with Westminster Brewery in late September (you’ll be the first to know when date is selected) for the greatest

pairing since PB&J! You’ll get a five course meal from The Modern Edge perfectly paired with five brews hand

selected by the brewery. Tickets are only $75.00 and the memories are worth it! You’ll be getting that promotion in

no time! Bring your significant other and double it as a date night. SCORE.

Grab a deli buffet or a box lunch for all the employees before you go! Box lunches are only $11.00 per person and

include a sandwich, from our hand selected array of choices, on a brioche bun, pasta salad, an apple, and boulder

chips, throw in a cookie for an extra $1.50 to

satisfy that sweet tooth and get back to

bonding.

As much as one loves their job, one loves her

lunch more. Thanks Boss Man!

drinks make socializing easy and fun. You get to

adventure with these mini snacks wherever you

go while enjoying your time and making

memories! Go on girl; get down on the dance floor

with that mini chili releno girrrrrrrrrl!
