Celebrating Over Cocktails

D'Amico Catering helped to celebrate the newly renovated International Market Square in Minneapolis with a cocktail party earlier this month. 

The evening's menu featured old classics that met new flavors–a fusion of vintage charm and modern elegance. 

IMS is home to D’Amico Catering’s headquarters, and the catering company is also the exclusive caterer for the building.

Here's a look.

International Market Square recently underwent a $16 million renovation. The thoughtful, environmentally oriented remodel is evident before you even set foot inside the historic building. Lush landscaping and expanded parking encourage traffic and welcome visitors in. Enter into the refreshed main lobby, and you’ll instantly feel at ease in the living room–like space, complete with cozy seating and a fireplace

Utilizing a vintage typewriter for the dessert station's display signange added a fun and creative element
