Pierpont Place was delighted to host a celebratory evening for Tomax-retail.net, the leading provider of retail software solutions and services. Customers include L.L. Bean, 24 Hour Fitness and just recently signed Jiffy Lube-to name a few. While attending the Visibility Conference at the nearby Hilton by day, guests were able to mingle and enjoy a cocktail afterwards provided by Premier-P.P's sister company providing excellent bar service. Hor D'oeuvres were served throughout the venue created by one of our favorite chef's Tom Catrow. A few of the offerings consisted of polenta with wild mushroom ragout, caprese salad, puff pastry with asparagus and smoked salmon pinwheels with goat cheese, lemon and chive. A yummy spread, if I do say so myself!

Dew Tour September 18, 2010

Toyota Antics, Filter Magazine and Pierpont Place all teamed up to host THE official Dew Tour After-Party on Saturday September 18, 2010. This is the third year for us and with the recession still effecting business, the Dew Tour pulled all of it's after parties except ours :)

I was lucky enough to catch up with Monique from Filter Magazine just prior to the event to briefly chat about what presence Toyota Antics and Filter Magazine has on big events such as the Dew Tour. She informed me about Filter Magazine's quest for featuring up-and-coming artists mostly from the L.A. West Coast music scene along with their East Coast affiliates. She is lucky enough to travel to music festivals and block parties amongst other exciting events.

Toyota's "Sweet Ride" consists of a Toyota Yaris in treat wrapping loaded with tons of candy along with the Toyota game car complete with old school arcade games.

A special photo booth was provided for guests along with a custom silk screen station in which you could design your very own T-shirt. Passed hors d'oeuvres were provided by Cosmopolitan Catering. Some of the delectable appetizers included: sesame chicken skewers, sliders, moroccan chicken, sweet pepper hummus and edamame served in bamboo cones.

DJ sets were performed by Hollywood Holt-straight outta Chicago and Salt Lake's very own Flash and Flare.

Underground Distillery featured their new herbal bitter that has a surprisingly similarity to Jagermeister, that mixes well with any beverage. The owners of Underground attended this event to promote Ogden's own distillery (a big shout out to the locals here!) Rooster's, also from Ogden provided local beer for this even. Thanks to everyone for their amazing diligence and hard work in executing such a magnificent event!

Sports Car Club of America (S.C.C.A)

September 12, 2010

Pierpont Place was excited to host the awards ceremony of the Playboy MX-5 Cup, held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele earlier that day. With Playboy and Mazda being the sponsors of this heated race, the awardees received red velvet robes that paralleled the likes of Hugh Hefner. With a White, Red and Black theme throughout, the setting took on a sports feel and Cosmopolitan catered an exquisite served and plated dinner. Yet again, the talented group of Pierpont Place was able to transform this amazing venue-always aiming to please.

Kier & Maria (August 9, 2010)

Congratulations and Hooray for Kier and Maria, who are dear friends of Pierpont Place. Kier and Maria had quite a long engagement but we were happy for this day to finally come. Maria was very easy going with a simple, sleek and classic style. It was exciting for the couple to tie in their backgrounds of Japanese and Irish, as they had a traditional bagpiper play directly following the wedding ceremony. The venue was covered in summer colors of moss and traditional white with accents of fern along with fringe French tulips, orchids strewn and sprinkled throughout along with ranaculas and dahlias. A fabulous turnout for a wonderful and happy duo!

Sarah & Tim (August 7, 2010)

It has been a lengthy, yet fabulous journey for these two special people. Sarah and Tim were early bookers as they visited Pierpont Place, they knew it was the perfect spot to hold both their wedding ceremony and reception. Sarah’s colors fit her personality perfectly, which included simple black and bright pink, in which the entire event was decorated. Her flowers were fresh and bright including pink hydrangeas, orchids, roses, small calla lilies and white parrot tulips. The Daniel Day Trio played their fun musical covers in which the guests could not get enough of. What a magical evening and congrats to the newly married couple!

Liberty Mountain/O.R.

Liberty Mountain featuring everything outdoors held it’s private event with Pierpont Place hosting a European themed evening. Flags were strewn across the ceiling from six different countries to tie in the theme along with separate buffet stations featuring an array of specialty dishes from each individual country. Tom Catros really shone bright with his marvelous and creative cuisine. Along with Premier Bar service, there was a refreshing Italian Soda Bar in which guests got to choose their favorite flavors.

Canoe and Kayak Magazine/Outdoor Retailer

Outdoor Retailer Events continue, this time sponsored by NRS (a national kayak gear, boating and rafting supplier) who has joined Pierpont Place for their third year in a row for OR. This year they launched their new magazine “SUP” along with Canoe & Kayak Magazine.

Re-Cap of August

Welcome back Pierpont Place Blog Follower! It has been a crazy busy summer and we wanted to give a quick update on last months huge events. Starting with CVB's quarterly business connect with Salt Lake Magazine.
