Coca-Cola Ltd. took its staff on a sea cruise when the soft drink giant held its annual employee holiday party at the Carlu, in Toronto's College Park neighbourhood.
Parks Productions' servers dressed in cruise ship uniforms welcomed guests aboard to the opening reception.
Buskers, jugglers, and other roaming performers from Cuthbertson Entertainment & Events led partygoers to games such as shuffleboard. Passed hors d'oeuvres from Catered Affare included brie and .phpberry canap?s, smoked duck and chicken tartlets with cranberry port jelly, and Thai beef crepes tied with leeks.
Designing Trendz and Executive Events decorated the dining space in deep, rich tones of burgundy and gold with elegant table settings and classical-looking centrepieces of roses and candelabras.
Illusionist David Ben, the Kathleen Eyman group, and other entertainers from Cuthbertson performed during dinner.
The main course consisted of grilled Angus tenderloin; garlic-glazed shrimp and onions with phyllo-wrapped scalloped potatoes; cedar-roasted salmon glazed with maple sugar and maple butter; wild rice pilaf with sun-dried cranberries; and a leek-tied vegetable bundle. Those who stayed for dessert enjoyed a lemon foam in a chocolate cup with blueberry coulis and fresh berries.
