We boarded a bus in Austin and tasted Fall Creek wine as we motored to the Vineyard. Susan & Ed Auler of Fall Creek Vineyard provided a unique setting on their ranch for this dinner.

Austin Catering with Executive Chef Rob McMahon and Coordinator Kristin Stephens provided bacon wrapped quail, grilled shrimp on grits and a family style meal paired with Fall Creek Wines.

Joan & Bill Talley of Transportation Consultants provided the transportation and Becky & Damon Holditch of Marquee provide the Vineyard Furniture, Wine Barrel Bar and an outdoor kitchen to complete the evening.

The dinner location was on the lake bottom of Buchanan Lake. The lake is down about 27 feet and normally this location is under 10 feet of water. The site has Indian artifacts going back 12,000 years. What a setting! Beautiful at sunset with friends, wine and food.

Toast of the Town is a series of 20 unique parties hosted in private homes and interesting venues throughout Central Texas each spring to raise money and awareness for the St. David’s Neal Kocurek Scholarship Fund. The St. David’s Foundation will raise approximately $400,000 with 20 Toast of the Town Events this year.

Becky & I were honored to be part of this team that produced Wining and Dining at the Falls.

The pictures are great but they don’t do justice to how stunning our Inspiration Area is right now. We would not be surprised to see Austin’s next great event planner or floral designer come out of these programs.

Here’s a little about the programs from Travis.
“ACC Continuing Education’s Special Event and Floral Design Program – Do you have creative event ideas that you want to learn how to bring to life? Do you have a knack for organization and planning? Do you love to play host to friends and family? Do you have a desire to be your own boss? If so, you can become an Event Planner!”

“Special thanks to Marquee Event Group for this great opportunity!!!”

You are welcome Travis and you are invited back anytime. We invite everyone to drop by and see their design during March.

Wonderful friends and family joined us this past Friday at Marquee to celebrate Damon’s 70th birthday! The birthday boy and guests enjoyed champagne and the always amazing Pennsylvania Dutch Chocolate Cake from Sweetish Hill Bakery.

Thanks to all the partiers out there that joined us!

It’s the Marquee Wine (and Distillery) and Venue Tour!

Tina’s base was Bronze Jade and Aqua Taffeta accented with sharp contrast of orange and nectarine shades of floral and varying shades of gold in mercury glasses, gold boxes, Gold Vanessa China and Gold Chiavari Chairs. It’s a traditional look with modern flair and a bit of whimsy.

It’s a gorgeous look and has been getting rave reviews from our guests during our LINEN EVENT.
Thank you Tina and please visit us again!
