We love a good party and the people at Empirical Systems Aerospace (ES Aero) know how to party! Mix together a winter wonderland and casino night theme and you have the best holiday party girls like us could ask for!
The casino portion of the night was not your typical casino; guests played different games to get tickets that they could put in for a raffle for three amazing prizes (including a large Lego model Millennium Falcon)! There were not one, not two, but three incredible lounges provided by Avenue Twelve that made us all feel like we were at a high class ski lounge.
Guests were dazzled by the magical stylings of Derek Hood who did some slight-of-hand tricks. CJ and the team from Copper and Crystal mixed up some delicious custom cocktails named after projects ES Aero was working on! And the donations table for the SLO Salvation Army’s Love Beyond Christmas Toy Drive was overflowing with toys and games for the children! Happy Holidays from everyone here at Amanda Holder Events!

Love Letter: “I wanted to start off by saying thank you to you and your staff. The event went off without a hitch. Everything was beautiful and executed flawlessly. Shea was great, as were the Sarahs and Alyssa. It was so nice to just show up and enjoy the party and not be a sweaty mess before people even showed up!
Everyone had a blast and we’ve gotten nothing but compliments on what a great evening it was. Multiple people said that this was not what they were expecting for a work party, and many of the plus ones swooned over how much better this was than their company party. One group of young girls said they had planned to leave early and go downtown, but they had no intention of it once they saw the space. The good news…it was a success..the “bad” news…I think we’ve set a new expectation. Looks like a holiday party is a new standard… 🙂
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you. You and your staff made my job of executing this event seamless and so much less physical work than previous parties even 1/3 this size. I used to be exhausted by the time the first guest walked in the door!” – Jeannett
