Unilever's Unity in Diversity (30 Apr 09)

Ice-cream unites us all indeed! and so do cocktails! This was a totally way out event. The Unilever international team were in Singapore for a corporate updates meeting and ended their week-long thinking session with this colourful event where everyone was dressed from a different country. Drinkdings served up 5 country-themed cocktails and a selection of international beers, while everyone was entertained by performers representing the different continents - snake charmers, chinese dancers, indian bhangra ...

I remember the event organiser calling us 5 times just before the event - apparently, a few performers had bailed on her and she was worried we'd not show up! We'd never do that! How unprofessional of them.

Guess what they are doing?

This was after the Unity in Diversity event we did at Chicago Booth. What in the world are they doing?

Hilary and Paulyn's Wedding at Grand Copthorne (18 Apr 09)

Our very first wedding - this lucky couple won our Mobile Bar service from Extraordinary Weddings, so we arrange to serve their guests with lots of cocktails and alcohol on their wedding night! A bonus was the singers they'd engaged for the night - I knew them! So we drank, danced and sang the night away!

Congratulations to Hilary and Paulyn!

Wedding at Grand Copthorne

Eerie

What could be hiding under those ghostly white sheets? This was us at the Wedding Diary Asia at Suntec. Hundreds of bottles of alcohol and nowhere to hide them! Fortunately, our booth was right at the end and we had a wall just behind us...I remember Kat using her ID skills to "floor plan" our drinks. For me, I was just thinking of winging it at the venue. But both of us were right - you do have to plan a little, or you will be caught unawares (what if we were not next to this wall, or right in the middle of the hall instead?). But at the same time, be flexible and resourceful when at the venue. That's us at Drinkdings! Always thinking on our toes!

Wedding Diary Asia at Suntec (27 Mar 09)

This was the first regional wedding show sponsored by STB and the vendors were looking forward to a good crowd. Unfortunately, the event organiser, Cosmopolitan Events, didn't plan and execute their publicity efforts well enough. We expected 10,000 visitors, we got 100. The vendors were very upset with the organisers.

Drinkdings was also caught in a bind because of this event. We too had catered for 10,000 persons. So were were left with thousands of flyers, lots of alcohol and lots of champagne cups! What a waste of effort!

Check out our other blog post to see how we tried to hide our hundreds of bottles of alcohol at the event!

The Drinkdings Gluttons!

Didn't we look liks gluttons with all this spread in front of us? We just LOVE the porridge buffet at Suntec Convention Centre. I believe Joaquim is the name! And just for the record ... YES, we finished every last morsel!

So I guess you know what we're doing when we're not at the Mobile Bar!

Crossroads Fair

That's me setting up! Drinking accessories on this side, cocktail mixers on the other and a mobile bar to boot!

The fair got really stuffy under the marquee in the afternoon, lucky for us, we had our cocktails and more importantly ice. We managed to provide welcome refreshments for the booth vendors and garner some goodwill along the way :)
