The newly renovated ICON brings contemporary luxury to downtown Houston. Every great city has a landmark hotel that speaks volumes about its history and embodies a sense of place.  In Houston, that landmark is the Hotel ICON, an exclusive member of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, located in the heart of downtown at the confluence of dynamic business, theater, legal and sports districts. Originally built in 1911 as the Union National Bank Building, the hotel thoughtfully balances irreplaceable period detail, grand neoclassical architecture and dynamic, contemporary Houston hotel rooms.  Intimacy, sumptuous surroundings and modern efficiency lure the well-heeled traveler as well as the local movers and shakers.

Classic - And Classic Turnout

Meengle's purpose to bring together industry professionals in a setting that fosters networking was visible once again as we gathered at Philippe Restaurant & Lounge on Post Oak.  If you haven't visited Philippe Restaurant, you really need to.  It offers an inviting ambiance that is strikingly matched by their menu, offering Texas renditions of French classics by renounced Chef, Philippe Schmitt.

Meengle would like to thank all who attended and specially the staff at Philippe Restaurant for being such great hosts.

Moment in Time

This evening was a perfect reminder that business can be fun.  A great group of professionals and business owners came to Meengle with great energy, conversation and company.  And in addition to the good times had by all we had the pleasure of hosting Meengle's new sponsor, Decca Photography.  Jesus Tirso, owner and principle photographer, is one of Houston's finest photographers and will be the perfect new addition to our team.

Jesus concentrates on what he calls "people photography", weddings, engagement and bridal portraits, families and seniors.  Starting his passion in high school, photography has lead him to travel the world and photograph some of the most beautiful weddings and locations.

His style is also known for its documentary approach, where the photographer captures moments as they are, allowing moments to happen and not suggestively creating them.  This also allows for the shots to be beautiful moments in time. Go take a look at his website, it is masterfully created and is worthy of your time.

Thank you Jesus for becoming part of our team and we look forward to working with you and enjoying your images.  Decca Photography:

5/11/11 Coversations and Cocktails

It was the perfect mix of people, conversation and cocktails this past Wednesday at the monthly Meengle event.  We started our evening with an impromptu wine sampling and food tasting provided by 88keys and Catering by George. The food was just divine.  The fig stuffed with sausage and wrapped with bacon left everyone speechless, thank you Jeffrey for allowing us to grill you with our questions and for providing such a diverse selection of food with such impeccable quality.

And then came Meengle.  One of the best nights to date. Jennifer from Petit Delights and Joanna from Joanna Garcia Photography came prepared with every detail planned and ready to entertain.  Their pose and professionalism was refreshing and allowed for the attendees to grasp how their day to day operations are handled.

Petit Delight's created a beautiful sweets table for their presentation, it was filled with tasteful treats, delicate touches of flowers and images that went perfectly with 88keys sophisticated atmosphere. They invited a beautiful group of ladies that were so boastful and complimentary of them both.  Just a  sign of what great business woman they are.... making sure they surround themselves with a positive support group!

Please take a look at the images bellow that were provided by Joanna Garcia Photography and please check out their links for further information on the talented ladies.

The Social Butterfly

Joanna Garcia from Joana Garcia Photography has managed a pretty successful career for such a young lady with her Houston based photography business.  Her versatility in all aspects of photography has given her the flexibility to bring a great variety of services to her clients. 

A University of Houston graduate, Joanna's bubbly personality shines through in her quirky blog posts and fun venture with Petit Delights.  I bet those two ladies together are a blast.

For more information please check her out on her blog/website and Facebook.

We look forward to Meengling with Ms. Joanna herself this Wednesday at Meengle.
