Drink and be Merry!

It is holiday season and as a event planner I am asked often for different drink options. Being a non drinker I am always mindful that not everyone drinks alcohol during the events that I plan and I always suggest that the drinks are designed to be delicious both ways, alcohol or not! Check out some of the drinks that I have suggested that have been hits at weddings and events during the Christmas season.
