Katie & Adam September 8, 2012

Well, it is not often that I get to work with folks that are 1200 miles away but that was the case with this wedding.  Katie’s sweet mom, Connie lives in New Mexico and it was always such a Joy talking with her on the phone.  The couple’s wedding and reception was held on a gorgeous fall evening at Front Porch Farms.  They decorated in shades of cream accented with burlap and birdhouses and beautiful table runners that Connie had made for each of the tables.

Southern BBQ Buffet

The guests enjoyed cocktails by the pool with appetizer display of Veggies and assorted dips,  A seasonal Fruit and assorted Cheese display, Sandwich Squares of  Creamy Pear and Almond on wheat and Olive Tapenade w/ Crostini.   Then after a prayer, enjoyed a buffet of  Marinated grilled Chicken Breasts, Pork BBQ with  Sauces, a tossed salad with Champagne Vinaigrette, Roasted Rosemary Garlic Potatoes, Southern style green beans and Yeast rolls and butter.

The Bride and Groom cut a small Lemon Poppyseed cake with Buttercream icing and then joined their guests to enjoy Strawberry Cupcakes and warm Peach Cobber.  One of the guests even told me -  Wow, that Peach Cobbler is ILLEGAL!  I am still enjoying that comment.

It was such a pleasure getting to do the reception for wonderful couple!  I really connected with them when we first met and I was so pleased to get to work with the wonderful folks at  Owen Farm, where the wedding was held.   I had gotten to see the venue when I had taken my children there for their annual Fall Festival but didnt realize what a beautiful rustic outdoor  backdrop they have for a wedding ceremony.

 

Friends and family gathered for  a meal of Pulled Pork served with Sweet Peach, Southern Twang and Little Zip sauces.   Marinated Grilled Chicken Breasts, Twice Baked Potato casserole, Grape Salad and Cornbread Salad, Yeast rolls, Sandwich buns, zesty bread and butter pickles and Coleslaw.
