Get Carried Away: A Guide to Hosting the Ultimate SATC2 Party...


The mayhem that is Sex and the City has officially set in across the country. If you are like us, you’ll jump at any cause for celebration. What better excuse for a party then the latest installment of Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha, and Miranda? Amp-up this weekend’s Cinematic Adventure with a pre or post gathering—AARON’S CATERING STYLE!


The Décor: Pink meets the Middle East

Channel your inner character and GO BIG or GO HOME. We love the idea of themed vignettes. By now we all know that the fearless foursome jaunt across the world to Abu Dhabi in the film. Experiment with designing different seating areas to represent NYC or perhaps a Middle Eastern-style sitting area (floor cushions, tapestries and incense).

Mix and Match These Ideas

Order Copies of the New Yorker, The New York Times and Candice Bushnell Novels to grace communal areas (challenge male guests to the NYT Crossword)

Rent or Purchase a Hookah for guests to smoke—great outdoor patio activity

Play Dress Up. Have guests wear their most fabulo

us (or regrettable) getup from the 1980’s

Spoiler Alert: Mirror the Karaoke Scene in the Film by renting a karaoke machine

Send guests home with a iconic “I LOVE NY” T-Shirt or novelty

The Menu: Make it Moroccan

The film portrays the ladies in Abu Dhabi, however, the film was actually shot in Morocco. There are several easy Moroccan recipes to try. Here is a sample of what we served at the Miami Premier.

Moroccan Mushrooms ~ Mushroom caps filled with seasoned beef, chopped dates, cumin, paprika and cinnamon

Chicken & Apricot Kabobs ~ marinated chicken skewered with caramelized apricots

Modern Caprese Skewers ~ hand picked cherry tomatoes, fresh buffalo mozzarella rounds, speared with fresh basil in our famous pipettes filled with extra virgin olive oil balsamic vinaigrette cracked black pepper and crushed sea salt

Moroccan Gazpacho Shooters ~ red, yellow & green spiced tomato shots of tomato soup spiced with cumin and cinnamon

Baked Dates ~ filled with honey, almonds & goat cheese

Feel Free to email us at Brittany@aaronscatering for recipes.

Tip: If your guests are picky eaters, opt for a New York-inspired menu. Think New York Style Pizza, Bagels, and even Candied Red Apples.

Don't Forget a Signature Drink!

The Pink-Politan





Shake equal parts VeeV Acai Spirit & Pink Lemonade

Still Seeking More Inspiration? Check out the images from Wednesday's Miami Premier. Coordinated by The Vibe Agency, the event drew more than 400 women (and some men) to the 1111 Lincoln Road event space. Event highlights included a live camel, cupcakes galore, an authentic fashion vignette, and a hookah den.
