Okay, let’s talk about the gorgeous Center Club in Costa Mesa (adjacent to the Performing Arts Center). It underwent an amazing renovation a year or so ago and it’s truly spectacular. One of my favorite places in the OC. It’s owned by Club Corp, who has — I think — about 200 properties. They celebrated their best, brightest and highest achieving sales/catering/special events staff last week from all the properties across the U.S., and I was fortunate enough to photograph this special evening at the Club.

They sure know how to throw a party! And, they also know how to have F-U-N at a party!!! A great time was had by all, including me!

Champagne skirt.

Living red carpet… went all the way to the valet station.

Amazing CC staff.

Inventive way to use kitchen appliances in a food display, yes?

So beautiful. And delicious!

Wish I could’ve been alone with this shellfish display! I could’ve done some damage.

Model in a tub serving martinis. Yes, a daily occurrence 🙂

Ever seen a girl in a champagne glass? I hadn’t!

Another amazing special touch.

Called Crack Pie. I can personally tell you why.

Yup. Adam Lasher, OC guy from this season of American Idol.

“Rude” French waiters. Complete with tutus.

Juan from Invisible Touch. He got the party S-T-A-R-T-E-D!
