As creative director of Catering With Style, Dee Gibson, who is also a regular on CityLine, approaches food, decor and venue holistically. Custom is the name of the game: party planners, chefs and stylists work together to design truly unique events. For instance, at a winter-themed party for iTravel, a manufactured snowstorm blew flurries in 32-degree heat, as guests feasted on such northern delicacies as venison crostini with chestnut, Arctic char with truffle purée, candy cane profiteroles, and ice wine martinis. Inky black wine glasses were paired with custom-made black and white damask table linens at another chic fête. Here, a cocktail-style wedding reception is no poor cousin of the sit-down dinner: decked out with hundreds of candles, dreamy floral arrangements and deep, loungy seating in place of banquet tables, an art gallery becomes a romantic private club, complete with glamorous cigarette girls bearing trays of impossibly elegant desserts.
How much:
cocktails from $22 per person, dinner from $40; plus wait staff and chef’s charges
