You & your team made everything seamless, smooth, relaxing, & effortless for our guests (& took huge loads of stress off us as well)"

  • "Another great party and the valets were just THE BEST.  Please tell them again for me what a terrific job they did.  Great sense of humor & so professional with all the guests.  And with it being a surprise party, they really had to scramble to have the guests cars hidden before the guest of honor arrived.  They were really good sports about making it work.  We appreciate that you always provide such quality service."

Ready for Christmas light displays?! We are!

DateThursday, December 1, 2011 at 8:00AM

♪ ♫ ♩ ♬  It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…. ♪ ♫ ♩ ♬

and one of our favorite winter activities has begun…  viewing Christmas lights!  A family tradition of ours for years now, we love to layer up in our knit hats (most knit by Jeremy & Stuart's wives), gloves & scarves and load our friends & family into one of the Mercedes Sprinters to begin our annual hunt for the best Christmas lights our beautiful area has to offer.  Hands down, besides our own Jeremy Butler, who gives any holiday house a run for its money (check out the last photo), Garden d’Lights is the highlight of the tour.

We hope you take some time this year to smell the hot mocha & hot chocolate (which are also hot, fragrant & fantastic inside at the Bellevue Botanical Garden’s gift shop, The Trillium) and savor the beautiful displays of the holiday spirit!
