One to one half hour slide presentation and lecture.

After attending "Seasonal Celebrations With Style" by Bev Church, do not be surprised if you race to the telephone and invite friends, family, and long lost connections over to your house. The urge to set out the hors d'oeuvres and light the candles will be so strong that no excuse, save a written one from the doctor, will be accepted.

Lack of time, nervousness, or a house that is too small will not prevent you from giving, and loving to give, a successful and memorable party. Savvy entertainer and author/lecturer Bev Church offers dozens of no-nonsense suggestions in this presentation which is illustrated with specially commissioned color slides to illustrate the "how-to's".

Bev's "Seasonal Celebrations With Style" will set the stage for a wide range of party possibilities from how to make restaurant entertaining a more personal and gracious experience to orchestrating show stopping birthday and anniversary events. Eye-catching centerpieces, tablescapes and fabulous invitations that defy refusal are not just discussed, but demonstrated! Using flowers and key props, Bev provides a visual example of how to put together a Seasonal Celebration with a Southern touch!

Whether you are entertaining on a budget or pulling out all the stops, everyone from the newest to the most seasoned hostess will find ways to regale their guests. And more importantly, you will have time to enjoy the party!
