After our busy open house on Saturday morning, we had just a few hours to prepare for another special event that evening-- the wedding reception for Katy and Mark. The happy couple exchanged their vows in a Raleigh church before heading over to Highgrove where they and their 100 guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the patio. We were excited to feature our Shrimp Cocktail Shooters along with our Fresh Vegetable Table. Guests were asked to sign the very unique "guest book tree" (see the picture below), which was a cut from a family tree that the couple are going to make into a table-- how creative!
Everyone then made their way into the Garden Ballroom for the reception where the bride and groom shared their first dance together before also dancing with their parents. Dinner was buffet style and included our Summer Garden Salads, Pecan Crusted Bourbon Chicken Salmon with Tropical Salsa, Garlic Roasted Mashed Potatoes, and Seasonal Vegetables. After dinner the couple greeted their guests before cutting the cake and then dancing the night away. It all ended with a bubble departure on the front porch and the bride and groom making their get-away in Katy's dad's antique hot red Mustang convertible! What a fun wedding for a sweet couple!
