May Highgrove Weddings

May 18- Congrats to Erika and Frank on their stunning wedding! The couple exchanged their vows in front of 135 of their close friends and family on a stormy afternoon. Thankfully the rain held off for the ceremony and cocktail hour and then cleared up again for after dinner s'mores on the patio. Guests enjoyed our Sopresetta Paninis with Peach Bellinis on the patio during cocktail hour along with Crab Cakes with Aioli Sauce and Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits with Ham and Honey Mustard. Also a fun part of the celebration were two signature drinks-- our Bourbon Lemonade with Fresh Mint and a Cranberry Kiss cocktail. The reception was held in our garden ballroom which was elegantly beautiful with colored uplighting and amazing flowers. Dinner was served family style and included our Garden Salads, Pecan Crusted Bourbon Chicken, Smoked Beef Brisket, Roasted New Potatoes, and Baby Carrots in Vanilla Bean Butter with Snow Peas. Champagne toasts and the cake cutting followed dinner service and the guests enjoyed dancing a while before the S'Mores station opened up on the side patio. Featuring our Homemade Plain and Peanut Butter Marshmallows along with Hershey's chocolate and Graham Crackers-- our S'Mores station is tons of fun! To complete the station we have a fire pit, wooden benches, blankets, and tin plates. Congrats to the bride and groom on a fabulous event!
