Bay Club Mattapoisett Member Welcome Party | Champagne Theme

I have been a friend to The Bay Club and it members in Mattapoisett for nearly ten years now. It all started with their grand opening party filled with so many fabulous details. They still talk about it to this day. Over the years we have worked together to provide five star service to our members and friends. It is a relationship that just works. I have always loved the club and what they have done out there in the woods of Mattapoisett.

Each year we welcome new members to the club with a casual party to showcase the food and fun social scene that the club is known for. Of course they are also known for their Brad Faxon award winning golf course......Trust me, I like the social scene so much better. However, I can hold my own on the course. I level off with two tequilas and get better and better with every beer that I drink. My stories on the course are worth the round alone.

This year Champagne was the theme for our party. Not only did we bust out some fabulous vintage champagnes, we also served cocktails laced with the bubbly libation. For decor, I brought in my friends from Ten 31 Productions for their human golf statue. I have used them before for a wow and each time they deliver far beyond what I could imagine. The human statue was the hit of the party!!! Of course the flowers and other decor looked great and I got a ton of compliments, which I am always grateful for. I got a moment to chill and chat with my fun and fabulous friends from the club. But alas, all too soon the moment came when I had to tuck my head in for the night as two weddings called for the next day.

Thank you Bay Club. Our friendship is something that I cherish, the friends I have made, I adore. I look forward to many more. My best and love always, CMP

Wedding Planning | The Liberty Hotel | The Tasting

I will never forget the day that my bride Carissa called into my office to discuss her wedding. From that moment close to two years ago, each and every time that I have been with her, or talked to her on the phone, we have grown a little closer. Each time we have expanded on our own personal jokes and sense of humor. She and I nearly died of laughter when our very first morsel graciously served by the Liberty was tuna tartar. It sparked a funny memory that came up in the course of our planning and set the tone to a very relaxed and exciting day.

I adore both she and her fiance and her whole family for that matter. It is hard not to, they love humor as I do and they trust me completely to do the work that I know I am meant to do. They have all been more than effusive in their praise of my work and involvement in the wedding. For that, I want to take a minute to personally thank them.

Yesterday I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with my bride and her family to discuss her wedding at The Liberty hotel, the decor details and of course the amazing menu that I worked on with Carissa's mom, Corine. She was the voice of reason at the table as Carissa, her handsome brother Chauncy and I gossiped and chatted like school girls at the table over the planned details to the wedding mixing in banter over all of our lost dreams of great tennis careers. In our heads, I think that Carissa and I saw ourselves as a pseudo Sampras, Williams match up. Our effusive chatter was made a little easier with our serving as the official libation taste testers. We loved the blueberry, pineapple, golden signature cocktail.

Over our SUPERB lunch I recalled the story to Carissa's father, of how I had no idea who he was in the world of sports. I know my die hard Red Sox fans are reeling right now. I have a lot of respect for great accomplishments in life but to be honest,  I am much happier to have met the charming and dapper Jim Rice as a proud father of the bride and doting grandfather.

The details to the wedding continue to evolve, I promised my bride Carissa and her mom and my friend Corine that I would deliver a once in a lifetime celebration. With the help of The Liberty Hotel, Ten 31 Productions, Person and Killian Photography, Rentals Unlimited, Praez Occasions and the many talented hands that make up the chad michael peters team, we will deliver the height of this Summer's fashionable weddings.
