Inside Our 2025 Holiday Party: A Night of Community, Celebration & Holiday Magic
Hosted by the Cari Ann Carter Group
The holiday season is one of our favorite times of the year—and our Annual Holiday Party 2025 became one of the most unforgettable celebrations we’ve ever hosted. Every December, Steve and I welcome our closest friends, family, clients, team members, and their spouses into our home for a night dedicated to connection, warmth, and creating beautiful memories together. This year’s gathering was more meaningful and magical than ever.
We were thrilled to partner once again with Bobby’s Gourmet, whose culinary talent elevated the evening from the moment guests arrived. His handcrafted dishes, creative flavors, and warm energy set the tone for a celebration that truly felt special. Bobby continues to be one of our favorite collaborators—and a beloved part of our community.
The highlight of the night was a rare and incredible honor: a live performance by Philip Sheppard, world-renowned English cellist, award-winning composer, producer, and musical innovator. Known for his work with global artists and major films, Philip brought a breathtaking energy to our home. His music filled the room with emotion and awe, creating a moment that our guests will remember for years to come.
Beyond the music, food, and festive décor, what truly made this night meaningful was the community that gathered under one roof. Our holiday party is more than an event—it’s a reflection of the relationships, trust, and love at the heart of the Cari Ann Carter Group. Being surrounded by the people who support, inspire, and walk alongside us in both life and business is something we never take for granted.
One of our passions is crafting warm, inviting spaces that bring people together. From curated décor to thoughtful hosting touches, we design each moment to feel beautiful, intentional, and welcoming.
