Valentine’s Musings From Pauline
Valentine’s Reflections and an Excerpt from “A Perfect Blend” For those of you who know me, you know I’m all about LOVE. So, I’m sharing my Valentine’s Day musings with you to celebrate this week. I love LOVE so much that when I write a blog, an email, a letter or a note, I always capitalize the word. And this month, I’m using the word more than usual. Although it’s a bit of a commercial holiday, Valentine’s Day is important because it makes us remember to reach out and embrace those we LOVE. For that reason–and the chocolate, of
Cindy’s Cool Corner – New Year Edition
Welcome to Cindy’s Cool Corner! Happy New Year, friends! You might be wondering how I came up with the name, so let me share. For years, I’ve been a friend and admirer of Pauline’s and would always scope her out at industry events while she was holding court with friends and colleagues in a corner of the venue.

It was then that I told her

Our 2021 Catering Services
We are so happy to see 2021 come in!!! As a company, we had to redefine our 2021 catering services to keep ourselves relevant and to adjust to the circumstances of having almost no live events.

Culinary Travels in Tuscany with Pauline
Culinary Travels in Tuscany with Pauline: Colorful to White After experiencing all the colors of the villages along the Cinque Terre coast yesterday, we took our culinary travels in Tuscany to the town of Carrara. The city is dwarfed by mountains that are draped with what you might think is snow, but NO, it is white marble–the infamous Carrara marble, no less. These mountains have been excavated for 1,200 years and apparently, there is still enough marble for another 1,200 years or more – WOW! I am a huge lover of this marble and to be here surrounded by

Our Director of Business Development Cindy Celis shares her five favorite things. Cindy is our newest addition to the Good Gracious! sales team, bringing a rich background in sales and client management. We cultivated a friendship with her after crossing paths in the events industry over the past 10 years.

We truly feel lucky to have secured her talents to our team! In this short amount of time, we’ve experienced
