Leon’s 100th Birthday Party

Basil Gourmet Catering was recently given the honour of planning a 100th birthday party. Leon Schwartz may be 100 years old, but this fact belies the attitude and energy of a much younger man at heart!

Leon had over 100 guests at his party – friends, family, and old work colleagues. In spite of his age, Leon, a life-long vegetarian, loves nature and spending time outdoors. He still takes a walk around his block every day, no matter the weather! Leon is an inspiration to us, and we feel very proud to have been asked to plan his party.

To do justice to Leon's fresh, youthful attitude, the Basil Gourmet Catering staff planned a party with a nature theme! The buffet featured seasonal fruits and veggies, fresh, light dishes, and some sweet treats, too. Our Strawberry-Vanilla Cake was an especially big hit.

Our event planners decorated the venue – Leon's oldest daughter's backyard – to suit our light, youthful theme, too. Bright spring colours, white linens, and lots of flowers, with the backdrop of a beautiful May afternoon! It couldn't have been more perfect.

Thanks for letting us share in your big day, Leon!
