HOIME stands for what?! The word is finally out
Okay, so today I’ve finally put our distinguished guests out of their misery and explained what the acronym HOIME actually means (for those anti sleuths who haven’t already worked it out). HERE’S ONE I PREPARED EARLIER. The concept behind our latest black and white tie dinner party is an award ceremony for best gift but […]
Casa Bella to host glitzy HOIME Awards (Here we go again!)
Yes, well it was always going to be a short matter of time before Francesca and I forget our heated exchanges and remember instead only the warm and fuzzy feeling that hosting dinner parties instills in us. It’s still early days. The guest list is still open as we’re still waiting for some of our […]
Casa Bella’s Masquerade is a winner
Wow, is all I can say. What an evening. The Masquerade was everything I expected and more; a colourful, funny and eccenctric time was had by all! The evening started relatively well but the weather did not play ball, especially when I was trying to light some lanterns out on the decking. They’d been put […]
Coleman-Rivers dinner party a successful blessing
What a great evening. Another successful event albeit I went it alone on this one. My sister and partner in crime, Francesca, believed that since this event was exclusively for a selection of my friends only that it would make sense that I host the dinner party alone. Yes, what a scary thought and it […]
Rumour mill forces exclusive dinner party
So, this is how it is. I’ve just sent out the invites for the Masquerade party due to take place on the 25th February 2011 (same day as the celebrations in Venice) but we’re still receiving feedback on the dining room grand opening that took place a few weeks ago. Some of this feedback is […]
Casa Bella’s Venetian carnival is announced
You asked and we’ve listened. After a very short deliberation, we’ve now settled on the next Casa Bella event, only this time we’ve decided to go for something even more opulent and somewhat refined; a Masquerade Party set in the 18th century! How about that for a challenge? Well, they don’t happen every day and it’s something […]
Casa Bella dinner party is the talk of the the town!
For us, we were just organising a dinner party to celebrate the opening of our new dining room. Little did we know that the day after our first event, we’d be the talk of the town. Yes, thanks to the wonders of modern technology and social websites, such as Facebook, and the ability to post […]
Casa Bella’s first dinner party is a success!
And so here it is… after months of toiling to refurbish the place and planning to theme the evening, Casa Bella opened its doors for the first time to its guests and I’m thrilled to report that it was a success! ‘A day that will forever live in….. our memory’! As expected, there was a […]
The magical 3 things
I’m smiling to myself today because I’ve just sent an email to our guests and it’s already causing a stir! It was nothing too complicated (at least I don’t think so) it was merely a request to bring 3 things. That is, 3 stories about of them; 2 being truthful and the other being a […]
Casa Bella’s first major event
So this is it, the first major event for the new dining room has been set (4th December) and invites to a select group of friends (about 12 in total) have been sent (online of course. I’ve found this great site, called Pingg.com) Dress code is smart/casual. The theme for the evening will be chic American/Italian 50s, alla […]
