We were proud to be able to provide coverage to the Partnership for Warrenton covering the “Evening Under the Stars” in Old Town Warrenton Virginia.

For those of you who may be interested in taking part next year be sure to contact the Partnership for more details.

It was the 21st Annual An Evening Under the Stars in Warrenton, VA- Old Town Warrenton. Which is an Evening Under the Stars® fundraiser for the Partnership for Warrenton Foundation. The fundraiser helps support the annual activities we all enjoy such as the Father’s Day Car Show, the Children’s 4th of July Parade, the nationally recognized GumDrop Square and Christmas in Old Town as well as the lamppost restoration project, Main Street’s American Flags and the economic and aesthetic revitalization of Old Town and much more. The 21st Annual An Evening Under the Stars® boasted tastings from 20 of the area’s top restaurants and caterers, dancing in the street to the beloved Daryl Davis and his band, a cash bar, raffles and more. The event had something for everyone. Named as the social event of the fall, and a true not-to-miss event!

A few special people that have touched our heart were in attendance at this event and I thought I would name a few.

Mayor George Fitch as he has just done an amazing job in the Town and helping it grow providing our youth with opportunities that weren’t available before.

Shelley and Tom Campbell who have helped assist of down the road of who to know in town and officially introducing us to the Mr. Dennis Taylor of Paradigm Solutions (more to come a little later on Jean and Dennis Taylor!)

Lastly Krista and Tom Tucker, these two were amongst the very first people that we had met when initially growing our business in Warrenton. The two of them are the most welcoming and heart warming individuals you will ever meet. If you do not already know them, you should!

We totally feel like we have been hanging at the Four Seasons in March with some fabulous events! But this takes the cake as we hung out with some of the GREATEST professionals that DC has to offer during Engaged! Magazines Bridal Event of the Year, with so much talent at the Four Seasons on Sunday it was explosive, pretty powerful dynamite came together in their ballroom with the talented team at Amaryllis Flowers combined with DC Rentals, Carl Ray on the Make-up with a little help from famous cake baker Sylvia Weinstock, Andy Kushner Entertainment’s band Sound Connection, all swiftly coordinated by Ms. Jamie Sears of A Simply Chic Event herself! What more could a bride ask for … needless to say we were not able to attend all the FABULOUS hotels that participated like The Willard Intercontinental, The RItz-Carlton in DC, The Hay-Adams and The St. Regis all of which are venues to die for!

Many thanks to Associate Ryan for helping out with capturing the details!

Thanks to Sarah as we were able to snag some awesome shots of the Open House they had last evening. It turned out fabulous of course. They are welcoming all types of events at this spectacular venue. Here are a few of our favorites from the night!

Let’s just state for the record that The Four Seasons knows how to throw a party! Not just any party, but a holiday party in honor of all the employees that stand behind the name! I am thinking perhaps I should put in my application Seriously the staff over there is just amazing. We had a wonderful time partying it up with them as they danced into the night.

Some definite shout-outs need to go to the folks who put it together. Hats off to Mr. Joseph Richter whom brought it all together. To those involved in setting up and pulling the whole theme throughout:

Decor, Linens, Chairs and Furniture: Capital Decor – Kelly Jenkins
Flooring for the Ballroom – All Stage
Pipe and Draping – Fabrications and Avista
Ballroom Furniture – American Furniture
Lighting – Swank
Gambling Tables – Fantasy World
Dancers – Cast of Thousands

Shall we post the images now that everyone is dying to see how it all turned out??? In advance, YES we love the little blingy votive piece on the table, sorry we used so many, but we loved them all!

Four fabulous names in one fabulous evening, what more could you ask for! It was an honor as we were asked to photograph a dinner put on at the Four Seasons Hotel by The Churchill Centre and Museum at the Cabinet War Rooms, London in honor of Bill Marriott with the menu prepared by Chef Michael Mina (Bourbon Steak) himself, who flew in from NY just for the occasion!

The Four Seasons Hotel certainly did not disappoint as the service all around from the wait staff to the presentation of everything they did was just impeccable!

Those in attendance to name a few Laurence Geller, Jonathan Tisch, The Honorable Gordon Smith, Chris Matthews, The Honorable Evan Bayh, The Honorable Susan Collins, The Honorable Judith McHale, The Honorable Mitt Romney, Celia Sandys and of course Mr. J.W. “Bill” Marriott himself.

The menu (abbreviated of course) consisted of:
Chilled Maine Lobster Salad
Miso-Glazed Chilean Seabass
Mascallan 18 Butterscotch Pot de Creme

It was our pleasure to have been asked to photograph the event. Mr. Marriott is one of the most down to earth individuals that one will ever meet. Modest at best, any of us in the industry who have spent any amount of time at the Marriott hotels know that his employees are representative of who he is as a person.

Congratulations to Mr. J.W. “Bill” Marriott as he was presented with the Leadership Award.
