Flowers Of the Week...Fall Romance
A Game Night Wedding The Bronx Zoo? The Down Town Association Does A Grand One!
I have been to the Game Night at the Down Town Association in my past and it was a carnivores delight! I'm not quite sure it's the right thing to do at the Bronx Zoo. But farm raised game or animals thinned out to protect the herd are mostly acceptable.
I do have to say my favorite game is Kangaroo and Ostrich. I'm so sorry Joie but your just so tasty!

Why Work With Nancy Swiezy Events?
Nancy Swiezy Events offers custom floral and event solutions.
We don't offer packages for one simple reason – my clients look for unique, creative, branded solutions for their events. By offering watercolor renderings, one can see what their flowers will look like with out incurring the cost of samples. I work with a color boards, icons, corporate identity and or family traditions to create an integrated a branded experience for my clients. If the client would like to accompany me in to the flower market this can be arranged two weeks prior to the event.
Every order placed comes directly from Farm to Table.
Sourcing flowers and containers is a great joy for me, for I shop exclusively for each client.
With Annual events, I make sure that they have a different look and feel, wile keeping the event mission current and fresh.
One Guest turned to me at The New England Society and said,
“I can’t wait to see what you are going to come up with next year”
Keeping it Green!
My Flowers and products are purchase here in the Northeast, The USA, Holland, France, South America and Asia. I personally design, build, deliver and install you event.

The Astor Center Wine and Food Experiences in New York City

Directly above Astor Wines & Spirits, we have built three unique spaces which together comprise a facility unlike anything else in the city – or the world, for that matter. We wanted to create an environment conducive to the sort of progressive thinking that has suited us so well in the past – to build a place that would facilitate exchanges between winemakers and wine drinkers; between Michelin-starred chefs and masters of the Manhattan apartment kitchen; between omnivores and herbivores; between legendary cookbook authors and razor-sharp restaurant bloggers; between politicians and pig farmers. More than just a place to take a wine class or watch a celebrity chef wield a blow-torch, at Astor Center we’re building a concept – a new approach to education, a new way of exchanging ideas, a new forum for discussing that which brings us together around the table.
Located in the impeccably restored landmark DeVinne Press Building, Astor Center is comprised of four distinct spaces:the Study, the Kitchen,the Galleryand the Lounge . Whether you are planning an elegant social event, a corporate training or gathering, an art showing, a filming session, or a host of other possibilities, Astor Center offers an array of exceptional options to create a memorable and effective event. Please contact Kathleen Laux
