Party as you learn to throw the dinner party!
Join us for a fun night out as you learn our tips and tricks for throwing a great dinner party with ease at one of our Entertaining 101 Workshops.
Imagine yourself sipping seasonally inspired cocktails, creating flower arrangements, and learning all our tips for setting a beautiful table. End the night enjoying a dinner prepared by a local chef and having an opportunity to shop for a new treasure for your table or home. Did we mention we love giveaways!
All our workshops are inspired by the current season or holiday, they are all unique, but you can expect to experience a combination of the elements mentioned above and more! Our goal is to leave you inspired to use what you learned to throw your own celebrations and to create your own memories.

What Our Friends Say
I attended Party 101, and this event was amazing from beginning to end. The best thing about Ivory and Noire events is you come away with so much knowledge! The venue was elegantly decorated by the owner, Jessica Pearsall. The florist was very knowledgeable and detailed in her tutorial on floral arrangements! Do not miss these events! You will be pampered and informed about all elements of hosting a fabulous party! - S.West
I attended this workshop and was so blown away by the great, practical ways to host a party. Hosting and decorating is not something that comes easy to me but after attending this workshop, I was excited and felt equipped to be able to host a successful party. So happy I attended! - Vanessa G.
The event planning was superb! Jessica Pearsall is such a talented designer. I really enjoyed that this was an interacive "How To host the Perfect Party". I have been putting my new found skills to work at home! I can't wait for the next party to invite more friends! - Karen M.
Such fun, and great ideas to use when hosting. Jessica Pearsall puts her talents as a designer to use to create a perfect environment for entertaining. I am not one to host large gatherings, but still found plenty of ideas that I could put in place for just a nice weekend get together with good friends. I highly recommend Ivory and Noire for event planning! - Amy S.
I had the opportunity to experience one of ivory and noire events and oh boy was i impressed. I wasn't sure what to expect but that's an event I think every woman should experience. The welcome from the time you get there, the atmosphere, the mingling with other women and the food...we did a flower arrangement that was amazing. Just learning new ideas and seeing how to put it together was worth every moment. - Geri B.
Although I have been hosting dinner parties 50+ years, I learned so many new, useful and inexpensive elements that make a great dinner party. - Patricia S

I had a delightful time learning new and exciting ideas that I can easily incorporate in my home. The food and fellowship was Devine as well. - Abbie B
We had cocktails, got to make our own floral bouquet (mine turned out pretty nice), learned about the latest decor trends and had an amazing dinner by Chef Maria of Classic All-Day. It got me outside of the Loop, which rarely happens. It was wonderful and even educational experience. - J. Sewing
Jessica put on a beautifully decorated workshop, full of ideas and information for hosting a party. I’m looking forward to the next one!! - Steph S.
This was a wonderful event! Everything was so well organized. The table settings, including the floral arrangements that we learned to make, were stunning and made from items I could easily locate to duplicate for my own table. I gained so many new ideas to use at my own parties. Great food too! - P. Cawthon
Great social and informational gathering on food, decor and more. Don’t miss the next event! Location, Location, Location! - Steph D.
