November Program's Sponsors

November Bi-Monthly Educational Program Sponsor Recognition

By: Ashley Holder

Jayna Monroe of J Monroe Designs and Rob Keating of Quest Drape were the gracious chairs who put together the November Bi-Monthly Educational Program for the members and guests of ISES Dallas.

The Dallas Arboretum hosted the program in the beautiful Rosine Hall. Cort Furniture set up two vignettes of furniture during the cocktail hour. Conversations flowed easily over the hor d’ourves and drinks by George Catering and light music provided by a band from Carol Marks Entertainment.

Once cocktail hour had passed we all moved to our seats at the front of the room. The front of the room was dressed with beautiful screen surround by Quest Drape. Each course of the wonderful menu by George Catering was flawlessly served atop rentals from M&M Special Events. Magic Moments Parties & Events proved their creativity yet again by creating not only beautiful centerpieces but made them functional for the activity by using pencils and notepads.

The night was an overwhelming success offering not only a beautiful venue with superb service but taught us what to ask our clients in order to be able to fulfill their goals and objectives properly.
