Erika Humby and Ilan Freiman
Engagement party


Ilan and Erika's engagement took place at the Royal Motor Yacht Club in Point Piper on a beautiful autumn evening. About sixty family guests from both sides were there meeting for the first time. The couple flew in on the Friday from Hong Kong, where they now live and work. It was a fabulous reunion.

Zest catering organised everything and we only had to turn up and enjoy. The food was stunning, the decor relaxed, a glow bar and good music added the extras.
The room overlooked a beautiful marina at Rose Bay on Sydney Harbour. The wonderful ambience helped set a relaxed mood and the two families were soon shmoozing like they'd always known one another. It was an occasion to remember.

I spoke briefly and proposed toasts to Erika, Ilan and the couple. Erika's father Ian the spoke and Ilan replied on behalf of the couple. The speeches were followed by three decadent deserts, white chocolate semifredo with pistacchio nuts, a warm dark chocolate pudding and a lemon meringue tart. Too soon it ended, but the engagement will linger long in our memories. The general comments we received were glowing, with everyone commenting on how relaxed and casual it was especially for two families coming together for the first time.
