If you judged this book signing by its cover, then you can call it a smashing success. Steele Marcoux, Editor-in-Chief at Veranda magazine hosted a book signing and discussion for Entertaining at Home by Ronda Carman inside the Bernhardt Gallery at Birmingham Wholesale Furniture. During the October 1 event, 75 local interior designers, industry insiders, and entertaining experts discussed entertaining trends and traditions as they reviewed copies of Carman’s book.
During the event, guests sampled drinks and snacks inspired by the recipes in the book and entered to win a piece from Bernhardt’s collection. After the drawing, President and Chief Executive Officer, Alex Bernhardt, Jr. presented the winner with Bernhardt Calla Round Chairside Table.
