Highgrove: November 17 Highgrove Wedding

Two more beautiful weddings for November at Highgrove, and we were happy to celebrate with these two sweet couples!

Our Saturday wedding was a fabulous event for 140 guests-- all there to celebrate the marriage of Ashley and Travis. The couple welcomed their guests with Hot Apple Cider on the patio before being escorted to the ceremony area. The couple so thoughtfully provided warm fleece blankets for the ladies during the chilly afternoon ceremony. The pergola was decorated beautifully with autumn colored flowers adorning the wood and a live string quartet played the lovely music. Following the service, guests made their way up to the patio and into the ballroom for cocktail hour. Ashley surprised her groom with an impressive Petey the Pirate ice sculpture next to the bar-- which was just another nice touch to the already beautiful patio. Guests dined on our Fried Green Tomatoes with Homemade Pimento Cheese, Crab Cakes with Aioli Sauce, and Risotto topped with Braised Short Ribs in mini eclipse bowls. The ballroom was warm and welcoming for the reception, with the fireplace lit and the uplighting just breathtaking! Following the first dance and champagne toasts, dinner was served 'Strolling Style' with our Crepes (Chicken Cordon Bleu and Seafood), Carved Beef Tenderloin alongside of our Garlic Roasted Mashed Potatoes and Pecan Crusted Bourbon Chicken, and Carved Pork Loin with Homemade Bleu Cheese Chips and Carolina Slaw. The food kept coming... with Dessert Crepes after dinner, our S'Mores Station outside on the patio, and a cupcake table. The party continued on with lots of dancing and sparklers to end the night. Congrats to the happy newlyweds! Food and Drink: Highgrove, Linens: CE Rentals, Flowers: Brides and Bouquets, Cupcakes: Sweet Memories, DJ and Uplighting: Island Sound, Photographer: Tara Parker
