Creating • Art • Meaning • Purpose = CAMP

The wedding and event industry has a special place in our hearts; we love being a part of such a significant day in a couples' life, we're proud to provide a meal for you and your closest friends at a cocktail party, and we are always thrilled to be the backdrop for a romantic dinner or brunch with a crew at the cafe. While our clients are amazing, there are a few other people that make our jobs that much better: amazing vendors that we get to work with, and even call our friends. Fostering and nurturing these relationships is vital to us, and we really enjoy bouncing ideas off one another to get our creative juices flowing. Then we thought, Hey, wouldn't it be out-of-this-world to form a group with this goal in mind?? Um, yes. It would.  So we started brainstorming with the creative souls and minds at Amy Osaba Events, Erica Loesing and Ginny Branch, and CAMP was born. CAMP, creating art, meaning and purpose, is a community of professionals aimed at building great relationships, inspiring original and artistic ideas, and learning from each other in so many ways. Here are some pictures, shot by the brilliant Amber of Our Labor of Love from our first cocktail party at our neighborhood cafe.

Inspired by tepees, forest foliage and campfires, we ran with the camp theme, embracing all things nature. Our menu featured deviled eggs, chicken sausage and green apple skewers, lamb sliders, chorizo and cheddar hand-pies and a strawberry Koolaid cocktail, that was as sweet as bug juice. Our happy campers, including the lovely ladies of Simply Charming Socials, Four Inch Fold and Gertie Mae's Floral, to name a few, left with homemade granola, girl scout cookies and a full belly.

We are, as always, so thankful for Amy, Erica, Maria and Ginny for letting us pick their brains and helping us develop creative concepts and products that we are proud to stand behind, and we know CAMP would be nothing but an idea without you geniuses. We can't wait for our next CAMP session.

Cheers,
