Add Some Jazz to Your Soiree
At most weddings or parties, guest that stay over expect the usual breakfast times when the wake. If the party was good and crept into the early hours, most guest would rather curl up the following morning and laze a little longer under the covers. A recent group of guests that we had in Ballinacurra, allowed their guests to do just that!
The group were celebrating a 50th birthday and family and friends had come from near and far to mark the occasion, as well as having a weekend away in Kinsale. The highlight of the weekend was the birthday party on the Saturday night which was an intimate family dinner followed by great entertainment and dancing. But the party didn’t stop there!
On Sunday morning, guests were given the freedom to to come and go at their ease. The energetic ones, used the opportunity to take a walk around the grounds, taking in the amazing views of the Bandon River down by the Jetty. The more ‘delicate’ ones breezed around the house in robes and seized the extra hours in bed to recover.
At midday, the gentle sound of Jazz crept around the house, giving people the nod that the Jazz brunch was about to begin. The Ballroom, was transformed into a cozy and intimate Jazz Speakeasy.
Guests grazed on gourmet brunch platters and sipped Mimosas and Bellinis. Before long, people were swaying and tapping their feet and really getting in the mood to keep the celebrations going.
Sometimes the recovery party is as good as the main event and guests leave on a high, after a fantastic celebration.
Here is some inspiration for your next party or event. A touch of Jazz might be just the thing to give your guests a weekend to remember.
