TPepin has been the distributor for Bloomin’ Brands’ restaurants for years, so TPepin Hospitality Centre is always their venue of choice!

This year, their holiday party’s theme was ‘Frost Yourself’. To incorporate this into their evening, Ice Sculptures were displayed at each station and the bars. The décor was a Winter Wonderland, using colors such as white, silver and blue.

At Puff ‘n Stuff Catering, we are passionate about working with corporate clients because we love bringing brands to life through creative cuisine and presentation. We especially love assisting with their company holiday parties. Being a company in the hospitality industry, we know that we couldn’t do it without our employees, so we are honored to assist Bloomin’ Brands in the celebration of their hard work!
