9.8 Highgrove Wedding

The forecast was for rain... but the skies held out and the party went on as perfectly planned for our couple this past weekend. Rachel and Matt had a beautiful wedding last Saturday beginning with their outdoor ceremony under our garden pergola. The music was provided by a flutist which was the perfect background sound for the personalized exchanging of vows. Cocktail hour was held on our outdoor patio and also in the ballroom, where guests dined on our Endive with Walnut Parmesan, Fried Green Tomato on Crostini, Cheddar Biscuits with Smoked Ham and Honey Mustard, and our Fresh Fruit Cosmos with Key Lime Sauce. Dinner was served Buffet style and featured our Greens with Candied Walnuts and Berries for salad, and then our Braised Short Ribs, Pecan Crusted Bourbon Chicken, Seasonal Vegetables, and Garlic Roasted Mashed Potatoes. The couple also treated their guests to our Pasta Station with Homemade Pesto, Alfredo, or Marinara Sauces. As the last guests made their way into the ballroom from the buffet the rain began... so it was perfect timing! One special treat was the fabulous cookie table, where the bride's family lovingly made hundreds of delicious cookies for everyone to enjoy throughout the night. Cake was also served along with coffee, and guests enjoyed mingling and dancing before sending the bride and groom off with sparklers at the end.
