A Tale of
TRANSFORMATION
THE CATERING AND EVENTS TEAM AT NEWPORT BEACH COUNTRY CLUB EXPERTLY CONVERTS
EVENT SPACES INTO VENUES THAT ARE REMINISCENT OF A MYSTICAL LAND.
BY ASHLEY PROBST
W
hether your next special
occasion is a wedding,
birthday or another
type of celebration, the catering
and events team at Newport Beach
Country Club is available to help
bring your vision to fruition. One
such event, held in January 2019,
honored the marriage of Lauren
Anderson and Austin DeMordaunt
while showcasing this dramatic
transformation of the venue with
floral arrangements, decor pieces
and a few special materials.
“We decided that we would need
to carpet the ballroom and drape
it in its entirety to completely
transform the space,” says Lyndsey
Moore, principal event designer
and planner at The Lynden Lane
Co. “Instead of going with the
more traditional ivory draping that
might fade into the background, we
wanted to let the draping really be a
part of the design story.”
The color chosen for this pur-
pose was imperative, and Moore
says they went with a soft blush
color because it “added the perfect
amount of romance and sweetness
to the space.” For a touch of cus-
tom lighting, the company sourced
gold and crystal chandeliers to
complement and highlight the
wallpaper backdrop.
That being said, lighting is
always abundant in this space. “It
is so wonderful to have a ballroom
that offers so much natural light,”
Moore says, noting the room incor-
porates window doors on either
side that face the ocean and golf
course, respectively. “… Another
amazing feature is the private
entryway that guests get to enter
through. Aside from the privacy
of this, it offers another space to
design and enchant your guests.”
Though several companies were
outsourced to bring the project
together, none of it would have been
possible without the catering and
events team. “We love working with
Chloe [Bubion, catering service
manager,] and her team,” Moore
says. “… We also felt that the culi-
nary team did an excellent job of
turning Lauren and Austin’s dreams
of food being one of the stars of the
show a reality.”
Additionally, floral designer Keith
J. Laverty concurs that the country
club staff is great to work with, as
each employee takes pride in pro-
viding members and vendors with a
wonderful experience. “The team at
NBCC has always been professional,
easy to work with and very accom-
modating,” he says. “With all of the
events we’ve had the pleasure of
partnering with the club on, every-
one has been gracious and we have
formed a great relationship.”
The catering and events team is
looking forward to bringing your
vision to life.
