Eastside High School offers the prestegious International Baccalaureate program, and recently celebrated their upcoming graduates at the Phillips Center. Parents on the planning committee hired Celebrations Catering, once again this year, to cater the end-of-year congratulations party. Lisa Tumarkin and Liza Cullen (proud IB parents) rely heavily on the expertise of Celebrations Catering to set an international theme at their annual IB function. Last year’s event was held at the Museum of Natural History, and was a big hit! This year we moved the event to the Phillips Center, and the evening social was even more fun. Jay’s Entertainment provided international dance music and we served the guests food from various regions, including Asia, Europe, North America, and Latin America. With a very international group of very smart students, an enticing display of worldly food and colorful decor was a must. Thank you EHS for having Celebrations involved in your event again this year. And, congratulations to the 112 IB students who met the stringent requirements for the special IB diploma, recognized in 75 different countries

Sylvia and Mark planned a lovely backyard wedding, nestled in the shady oaks, letting nature be the theme. Their home is very warm and welcoming, so we included lots of their eclectic style in the reception. Friends and family arrived for the ceremony early, and enjoyed mimosas and appetizers before the 11am wedding, making everyone mingle and feel comfortable right from the start. Harp music, then later a live band, made the summer atmosphere enjoyable, while guests tried foods from four of the different stations, including a beautiful cranberry-orange glazed country ham, Celebrations’ signature grits, fresh fruit, and potato wedges fried to order. The wedding cake was made by Jenny Wagner, and the flowers by the bride and her sister.
