✨ Raising a Glass to New Beginnings ✨
As we count down to midnight, we’re reminiscing about the Crisp Holiday Party at @ledgerbentonville – a celebration that set the tone for a season full of connection and cheer. The warm glow of the lights, the hum of conversation, and the perfect playlist… it’s the same energy we’ll be channeling tonight.
Whether you’re slipping into sequins or cozying up with friends, holiday parties have this way of bringing people together. And if you’re already dreaming up next year’s corporate celebration, we’re here to make sure it’s the kind of party people talk about long after the decorations come down.
Because when it comes to celebrating milestones, the details matter. From intimate gatherings to all-out affairs, Meredith Events creates experiences that elevate your brand and make memories worth toasting to.
Cheers to new beginnings and unforgettable celebrations 🍾🥂

A Festive Night of Bites & Live Tunes 🎷✨
As we head into NYE, we’re still reminiscing about the Crisp Holiday Party at @ledgerbentonville – and trust us, the passed and stationary hors d’oeuvres by @thesouschef.co were as unforgettable as the live jazz by @smoothmanmusic. Nothing sets the tone for a chic holiday gathering like incredible food curated for various dietary restrictions, and paired with the smooth sounds of saxophones and classic hits.
Guests enjoyed a stunning charcuterie spread featuring fresh fruit, meats, cheeses, crackers, vegetables, bruschetta, and crostinis, along with a mouthwatering selection of appetizers that kept the party vibes going:
🍖 Mini Beef Wellington Bites
🐟 Ahi Tuna Cakes w/Red Pepper Aioli (Pescatarian)
🥓 BBQ Balsamic Beef Meatball Skewers (GF)
🧀 Goat Cheese & Fig Jam Phyllo Cups (Vegetarian)
🍠 Roasted Sweet Potato Bites w/Cranberry Coulis (Vegan, GF)
🍤 Shrimp Cocktail Mini Shot Glasses (Pescatarian, GF)
🧇 Sugar Dusted Waffle Bites w/Fermented Honey (Vegetarian)
🌶️ Thai Chili Won Ton Cups (Vegetarian)
🥒 Cucumber Wrapped Spring Mix Skewers (Vegan)
🥔 Cheesy Potato Skin Bites (GF, Vegetarian)
🍗 Maple Bourbon Sweet Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites (GF)
Every dish was passed with care, ensuring the flavors kept flowing all night long. From savory bites to vibrant vegan options, it was a culinary experience guests are still talking about.
And let’s not forget the ambiance – @smoothmanmusic had the crowd swaying all evening with their unforgettable jazz performance. It was the perfect backdrop for mingling, dancing, and celebrating the season.

“Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.” – Edgar Allan Poe 🖤
We are thrilled to share this stunning reel created by Brian Weaver of @WeaverFilms, capturing the moody elegance of our latest project, A Haunting Affair, published in the October issue of @athomearkansas 🐦⬛ Filmed the morning of our shoot, this video reflects the timeless narrative we aimed to craft…an event where every detail, from florals to the flickering candles, tells a story.
At Meredith Events, we believe that events should go beyond aesthetics. They should evoke emotion, reflect the essence of a brand, and immerse guests in an unforgettable experience.
A huge thank you to our incredible collaborators for bringing this vision to life.

🎉 Dinner on the River Wins ACE Award for Catered Micro Event of the Year 2024🏆
We’re over the moon to announce that Dinner on the River, a collaboration with Vibrant Occasions Catering, philanthropist Cat Sims, and an array of fabulous event vendors, has been honored with the prestigious 2024 ACE Award for Catered Micro Event of the Year! 🌟 This accolade recognizes the meticulous planning, creativity, and dedication that went into crafting unforgettable experiences for our clients.
From inception to execution, Dinner on the River embodied sophistication and elegance, serving as the glamorous kickoff for content creator Cat Sims’ philanthropic mission.

Every aspect, from the menu to the music, contributed to an evening of enchantment and community spirit.
We invite you to read more about the event’s highlights and the incredible team behind it in our latest blog post, now live on our website! 📝
