Hot Party: Hot Toddy

Pure Nightclub

Hot Party

When corporate clients are in the market for a hot party that would steal the attention away from their competitors, there's a 99.9% chance they will take their ideas to the planning committee and get talked right out of them. So would they if they wanted "diamond and white mink" chavari chair covers and table linen, a girly-style tented powder room, or anything else that would reveal "too much" about their intentions.

And that's just fine with the competition. They know they're in the business of playing it safe by always going with the basic "classics".

To succceed: You want to give your party "pieces with a certain attitude" - grounded in "classic" sexy party luxury without going too, too trendy. You want to stick to the basics, kind of.

A hot party has to have well-made plans that are the staples of it's "party wardrobe" - a "fitted" event; smart execution; a roomy space with lots of bars and a small dance floor - just as a hot party needs flashier "statement" pieces of party decor.

It's distinctly your corporations style that gets injected, based on the universal appeal of certain party decor concepts. It starts with good party bones and style design decorum, and then you layer on some "hot party".

It's that combination that should signify your everyday life and luxury, in a way that's crafted with the materials that are used specifically for you. Which doesn't mean be boring, and "do the usual" - while once again leaving your guests uninspired.

Your competition will win because your event wasn't memorable.

You'll need to hire a planner that "gets you" - with an eye for flattering, hot party theme silhouettes, who will give you a "simple" partyscape with a tailored fit, and sleek look, that raises your bar. That is, after all, why you'll hire a qualified party designer who'll "bring it". Right?

What's hot for parties?

A tasteful level of glamor, with party decor accessories that play up some of your corporations style and favorites - while incorporating your logo - will make a fantastic new update. Adding a few modernized styles, including things like faux fur and faux diamonds, makes a party hot. Displaying "luxe" is where it should start.

You have to tell a story by building the story.

You want to express a continental European flair, with leisure-time sensibilities. Imagine chic party goers that will leave relatively early - to go into the city to a fabulous nightclub for dancing; you've got to keep them there.

Hot Toddy

Serves one
(Printable Recipe)


1 8oz. mug
1 spoon
1 tsp. sugar syrup
1 stick cinnamon
1 jigger whisky, rum or brandy
very hot water
1/2 lemon slice
3 cloves

2.) Insert spoon into mug to prevent cracking of mug

Toddies can be served cold, by adding cold instead of hot water and a cube of ice.



Hot party: hot toddy is a simple jumping off point for a hot corporate party. Some might wonder... Isn't "hot corporate party" an oxymoron? (It doesn't have to be!)

It goes like this... Potential client-girl goes to party. Attends party and is very impressed. Same girl goes home from party, spends next day going on and on about great time she had.


Inspired by "how people party in the moment"and interior design, when it's done right the elegantly functional aesthetics of party style and architecture can be seen in the furniture, food, and service.

Whether it's your corporate Christmas party or otherwise... It should look timeless, modern, beautifully crafted, and at the same time, really sexy.

I'm Carlo. And this is my party truth.

I'm an off-premise catering evangelist/outlaw. I'm a passionista. I'm a paradox. I love when a client hires me to oversee their entire event, from start to finish - because I'm an event planner too.

I'm proud to be mom to Petey Wheatstraw, "the devil's son-in-law" - the best damn Chihuahua North of Mexico. I grew up in Rochester, Michigan. I currently live deep in the heart of Texas. And boy, do I ever miss Xochimilco Super Nachos, the fragrance of Fall and fresh cider and donuts at Paint Creek Cider Mill, and eating a Detroit Lafayette Coney Island when the mood hits me.

It's cool of you to stop by. And you know what's even better? Finding out what you have to say! Hit me up with a comment. Hang with me on Twitter (three accounts, you choose; @TheCaterHater, @CarloAtYourServ, or @CarloAtYourSer2). Or, connect with me using the FB gadget or G+ button on the sidebar. For real, I'd be honored if you'd click on either one. If you want to ask me anything or want to leave a comment, you know the drill; "Contact".

I like people. Especially, people who want the party truth. Talk to me.
