This out of state couple envisioned a soft, relaxing, and elegant wedding with their closest family and friends. Since they were all the way in Maine, they put a great deal of trust in us to find the right vendors, linens, menu, etc. and we are happy to say that it turned out as wonderful as
could be. While the rain did prevent them from having their ceremony outside, it did help in creating the intimate ceremony that they had dreamed of with candelabras, Amanda Woosely playing the harp, and under 50 guests.After the ceremony, we went right into cocktail hour and transformed the ballroom into the reception space. We passed an array of appetizers including Coconut Shrimp with Mango Sauce, Bruschetta with Roasted Red Pepper & Garlic, and Asparagus & Crème Barquette, Mediterranean Pizza Wedge.
Each table was set for their four course dinner with a lovely arrangement from Bouquets of Austin and a few votive candles to bring in the romance.
The extraordinary menu included:
Traditional Spinach Salad
with Dried Bing Cherries, Pear Slices,
Caramelized Purple Onions, Goat Cheese
and a Warm Bacon Vinaigrette Dressing.
Lemon Capers & Artichoke Chicken in White Wine
Slow Cooked Filet Medallions with a Rosemary Bing Cherry Reduction Sauce
Crispy Ricotta-Stuffed Risotto Cakes
Rosemary & Garlic New Potatoes
Roasted Asparagus with Sea Salt
And for dessert we satisfied their taste buds with a Chocolate Torte and Fresh Strawberry Shortcake!
After everyone was nice and full the bride and groom stepped onto the dance floor for their first dance, which they had been working on for the last several weeks. They looked so graceful and so happy… we couldn’t ask for anything more!
It was a pleasure working with you both and we are so honored to have been the host of your big day. We wish you the best!!!
