Largely due to her dedication and expertise, the facility has gained a stellar reputation as one of South Florida’s premier catering and reception facilities, once generating up to $10 million in annual revenue.

One of the facility’s biggest annual events is the Bridal and Quince Show, the region’s most comprehensive wedding extravaganza. This year, the show will be held on October 20th, 2009, when Mrs. Pecora and her staff will host dozens of South Florida’s finest wedding vendors.

Located in the town of Davie, Florida in Broward County, the sprawling, 100,000-square-foot mansion is distinguished by its salmon-colored exterior and charming design that calls to mind a 19th-century, Spanish-style hacienda. Over the years, Mrs. Pecora and her catering team have hosted dozens of noteworthy politicians and celebrities, including presidential hopeful George W. Bush.

Wedding Tips & Tricks – Keeping Children Entertained Monday, Jun 22 2009 

WS-Childrens BookMany brides and grooms opt for wedding ceremonies and receptions with are ADULT ONLY. However, many couples simply cannot do this and many don’t want to! Keep those young children entertained and happy with simple steps and ideas from www.arlenepecora.com!

Wedding Party Bags themed for children are easy to put together and don’t have to be expensive. Children can be entertained for ages with a blank piece of paper and pencils. At the start of the speeches, a time when many children get restless, a coloring competition could be announced. This will keep many entertained especially if they know that there will be prizes at the end. In addition the bride and groom will have additional keepsakes if the drawing theme is about the wedding.

As a word of caution stickers may be a party bag favourite but not for weddings – they may be stuck on regrettable places such as the brides dress!

Unique Cake Topper Ideas – Spark up the Conversation Thursday, Jun 18 2009 

Weddingstar-Almost Perfect Cake TopperAdd flair and humor to your wedding reception with unique cake toppers that express your personalities!www.arlenepecora.com offers advice on this subject that just might make you think twice about selecting a traditional cake topper:

The days of the old-fashioned wedding cake topper with the standing figures of the bride in a long white wedding dress, complete with veil, and the groom in black morning dress are fading fast and today we see a growing range of often quite unusual wedding cake toppers.

Cake toppers tend to fall into two categories – those which we might class as traditional, in the sense that they are serious in nature, and those that we might class as humorous or comical wedding cake toppers.

Traditional toppers will include figures of the bride and groom but, while some will still have them standing in the customary white wedding dress and black tail coat, nowadays these will often show the bride and groom either in the actual clothes being worn for the wedding or in more casual attire. A good example of this might be military wedding cake toppers which can not only show the bride or groom in their correct military uniform, but can even show them with the correct medals and decorations.Read More
