Bon Voyage!

    Having a $100,000 budget to host and plan a party is just enough to go overboard! With that thought, how about a Titanic themed party? The party will take place on a yacht: The FantaSea One, costing $22,500 all together, as it takes a cruise around the Pacific Ocean. The luxurious yacht has four levels: Captain's Lounge, Dining Room, Dance Floor, and the Sky Deck. It is big enough to seat 300 guests, which will be enough to invite all of Rose and Alex Pilibos' High School. If needed, people can bring friends or dates as well. Invitations will be sent out with a ticket to enter the yacht attached to it. If one does not have a ticket, then they cannot enter. Recommended attire for the guests will be to dress formally. The party will take place March 9, 2013 at five o'clock. Guests will meet up in front of the school at four o'clock where four limousines, costing $2,000,will be ready to take them to the destination of the yacht - Marina Del Rey. As the guests enter the yacht, Arka Photography, which costs about $300, will take pictures of the guests and will continue to do so throughout the party in order to keep a memory of the party. Dinner will begin at six and the guests will be led to the second floor of the yacht, the Dining Room, where long tables will fill the room, dim lighting and candles lighting the place. Silverware and expensive china will be placed and the guests will have an  eight course meal:

  • First Course - Hors D'Oeuvre (Oyster Martinis with Beluga Caviar)
  • Second Course - Soups (Cream of Barley Soup)
  • Third Course - Fish (Poached Salmon Steaks with Sauce)
  • Fourth Course - Entrees (Filet Mignon in Wine)
  • Fifth Course - Removes (Sauteed Duck Breasts with Figs and Port, served with white rice and boiled potatoes)
  • Sixth Course - Punch or Sorbet (Lemon Sorbet)
  • Seventh Course - Roast (Guinea Hen with Raspberries)
  • Eight Course - Salad (Mixed Belgian Endive Salad)
This meal, taken from the actual dinner party menu of the Titanic, costs $12,000. While the guests eat, a small orchestra that is hired for $10,000 will play as background music. When the guests finish with their meals, they can either move to the Dance Floor, where they will enjoy their time dancing or by having a few drinks at the Bar. They can also go to the Captain's Deck, where they can smoke hookah, lounge around, watch TV, or again have some drinks. Meanwhile, if the guests wish, they can participate in a maze set up just for them. The maze will be located on the fourth floor of the yacht, the Sky Deck, taking up half of the space. If they are able to complete the maze, one lucky winner will find a $10,000 replica of the Heart of the Ocean diamond necklace to keep, at the end of the maze. As the party comes to an end, the guests will leave with the last song Titanic's Orchestra played, "Nearer, My God, To Thee" by Arthur Sullivan, playing in the background as a farewell. Additional decorations will cost about $5,000. All costs overall will total up to $61,800. Hope you can all make it, after all, we would not want you to miss it!

  1. Talar, the eloquence of this party will truly remain engraved in my mind forever. First of all, the dinner was spectacular. It was so delicate and delicious, that you might need to throw another party just for the food! The highlight of this party was not only the fact that being overseas created an escape from reality, but also the maze supported this unrealistic day. It was such a fun experience, and the Heart of the Ocean Diamond Necklace looked spectacular with my dress! Thank you for having me as a guest and I look forward to the next party you have!

  2. From hearing stories left and right about the movie Titanic, even though I have not watched the movie myself, I knew from the minute I step foot on the boat that this party would have been relating to Titanic. I had no idea the menu was the same as the meal the passengers had on the ship, until the Titanic fanatic next to me began to hyperventilate because she never thought she would get the opportunity to have an experience similar to the passengers' on the ship before it sank. The music was amazing, and almost every one of my favorite songs were played. This party was nothing like I have experienced before, and I hope you continue to throw unique parties such as this one.

  3. This was a night I will definitely remember throughout my entire life. I attended with my boyfriend and we had an enjoyable, romantic night. The food was incredible and the whole experience was to die for. My boyfriend finished the maze and surprised me with the beautiful diamond necklace. Titanic is one of my favorite movies and this was the closest I came to the beautiful and romantic theme in the movie. Thank you so much for having me!
