9.1.12 Highgrove Wedding

It was a busy weekend for us, with two weddings for the first dates in September. The weather was warm, but it was dry for both events and beautiful days for both couples.

Nguyet and Allen's wedding was a special family affair that began early in the morning with a traditional tea ceremony held at their parents' houses. The festivities at Highgrove began in the afternoon, where the couple exchanged traditional American vows in front of their close friends and family. Cocktail hour featured our Pecan Crusted Bourbon Chicken Skewers, Coconut Shrimp, and Fried Green Tomato Crostini along with our Pink Lemonade and Sweet Tea. The reception was held in our Garden Ballroom, where our Strolling Stations were the hit of the night! Our Crepe Station featured our Savory Chicken A-la-King and Seafood Bisque Crepes before switching over to our heavenly dessert Crepes after dinner with Almond Cream Filling and Fresh Berries. The Pasta table showcased our homemade Alfredo, Pesto, and Marinara Sauces over cheese tortellini or penne pasta-- all cooked to order by our chef Troy! Our carving table (always a popular spot with the men!) featured our Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish Cream Sauce alongside of our Roasted New Potatoes and rolls. After dinner, cake was served along with Hot Tea and Coffee as the guests enjoyed dancing. The sendoff was a sweet goodbye as guests waved off the newlyweds. A fabulous way to start off a month of weddings! Food and Drink: Highgrove, Linens: CE Rentals, Centerpieces: Table of Contents, Flowers:  Flowers on Broad, Cake: Sweet Memories, DJ: A Touch of Class
