Stamp of Approval

Well we did it!  Hot off the presses!  WISN-A List Milwaukee has voted Zilli Hospitality Group 2011 Caterer of the Year and Runner up for Venue of the Year for Coast Restaurant/Zilli Lake and Gardens

Not that I like to brag...okay, maybe just a little bit, but here's what our voters had to say about us:)  My favorite blogs are from vendors.  They have tried every caterer and have been to every venue, so if they like your food, you know it has to be GOOD!

Cliff H. … voted BEST Venue
"Very thorough, conscientious and friendly service. Book Zilli's and they'll take care of the details while you enjoy your event!"
Kat M. … voted BEST Venue
"Delicious food. My mom has allergies... she had never been to an event before that she had so many food options. The chef was so kind and knowlegeable. He spent so much time speaking with her as to what she could eat. The view topped off a perfect evening out!"
 Maggie Z. … voted BEST Venue
"I love the location and love the space. The only drawback is I was not able to choose my own vendors!"

Thanks for your vote Maggie Z., but who needs a choice of vendors when we just won best caterer!  No worries, we can work with any menu, any budget, special dietary needs, and we also have a Kosher Division as well as an Indian Division if you are looking for diversity!


Check out the results giving Zilli Hospitality Group the stamp of approval!

Tangerine Dream

pantone 2012 color of the year tangerine tango design blog hgtv design happens
I am obsessed with Pantone's 2012 Color of the Year!  Tangerine Tango is the vivacious color you need to wake up any event!  This color is theatrical, commands attention, communicates power, and practically usable for any season and any event. 

Great for companies that are reporting "red hot" growth in profits, showing a client VIP red carpet treatment, spicy summer barbecues, vivid and fun weddings, and beautiful with spring green or the changing fall leaves!


Flooding the room with tangerine lighting is an easy and inexpensive way to set the mood and make it look like you spent a bundle!  This turns any drab space into a high end, modern looking event.



Don't forget to match your cocktails to your color scheme...just in case your guests spill!  How about this bright and bold tangerine martini made with mandarin vodka?  Trade the garnish for a lime to add another boost of color.  My mouth is watering for this refreshing cocktail! Is it too early to mix one of these up?!  It's five o'clock somewhere!   
 
 
 
Don't skip the splash of vibrancy in your food!  Treat your guests to an appetizer of tangerine tartar.  That should get their palates going! 
 
  
Top it all off with that gorgeous bouquet made by our floral designer, and your Tangerine Dream will come true!
