Offsite 2009

Yesterday was our companies annual offsite. I work on this event pretty much every year now. This was my 9th offsite at QuinStreet. This year we did it at the Four Seasons in Palo Alto. I planned it with Rupal and Kerren. I know I say this a lot. But I have some truly truly talented friends.

I think we could all do just about anything we set our minds too working as a team. Rupal knows Food and Beverage better than any lady I know. We did a Bollywood theme this year as much of my company, and my team specifically is Indian. It was just BEAUTIFUL. Rupal made the whole menu herself then got the executive chef at the Four Seasons to make it all. It was to die for, all Indian flavors but mellow enough for your average person. Kerren is our organizational guru. She is on top of every last tiny detail. Where I gloss over things she is honed in. I am the decoration person, lighting, flowers, linens, etc etc. All put together and we are 1 perfect person!

Some pics below:


The dream team. Rupal put on her Indian garb later on, and looked fab! I did my best to fit the theme, and borrowed Rupals jewelry.

How cute are our elephant menu option card holders?

We had paisley gobos on the floor and the walls.

We were playing Bollywood movies in a lounge we created with furniture we rented, it was so fun!
Our Ganesh!

Dancers we hired. We also had a great Henna artist doing art on peoples hands.

Our exec team all done up!
