As 2024 draws to a close, we can hardly believe how quickly the year has flown by. It's been a whirlwind of growth, laughter, hard work (and late nights), and, most importantly, beautiful connections.
Here are a few of our favorite memories from this incredible year:
2024 Hall at Fauntleroy Showcase
For our 2024 Hall at Fauntleroy showcase, members of our community came together to experience a fun and informative fundraising-style event that provided them with a glimpse into their special day, whether it be a future fundraiser or wedding. We were thrilled to hear from our Event Manager Libby Williamson, that she “received wonderful feedback from vendors and guests that they loved this experience and couldn’t wait for next year’s event.” We can’t wait to do it all over again for our 2025 showcase!

Getting Creative with Mandee Rae
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Mandee Rae this year for menu photoshoots, spectacular events, and more. Each time the experience exceeded our expectations! As a published portrait photographer and creative director, Mandee’s artistry makes each project a dream. We’ve built a wonderful relationship with her and are beyond excited to continue working together in the years ahead!
Catering the Seattle Opera’s 60th Anniversary Concert & Gala
We had the honor of catering the Seattle Opera’s 60th Anniversary Concert and Gala earlier this year, and the experience was nothing short of magical. Our longstanding relationship with this organization makes every celebration with them exceptionally meaningful. We are especially proud to be a winner of the “Best Team Effort” award through ILEA Seattle for this particular event! This gala will definitely go down as one of our all-time favorites.
Launching our Refreshed Family of Brands and New Website
We were beyond thrilled to unveil our reinvented website and refreshed family of brands to our industry friends, family, loyal clients, Seattle community, and beyond this year. After over a year of dedicated work, there’s no greater feeling than sharing our true selves with the world! As we look ahead to 2025, we couldn’t be more excited to embrace this fresh new look and all the possibilities it brings.
Washington Wedding Day’s Best of 2024 Awards Gala
We were beyond thrilled to win two major awards at Washington Wedding Day’s Best of 2024 Awards Gala for Best Catering and Best Seattle Venue (Tuexedos & Tennis Shoes and Hall at Fauntleroy)! This year’s awards gala took place at the stunning National Nordic Museum, with the evening planned and designed by the immensely talented Your Perfect Bridesmaid. Inspired by the artist Henri Matisse, the event featured vibrant hues, bold prints, and lively florals. The joy of the gala could be felt throughout the night and our team soaked in every minute! We can’t wait for next year’s celebration.
