Afternoon weddings are a wonderful choice if you’d like have a more informal wedding or if your budget would be stretched too tight with an evening wedding. Over the weekend, we catered a lovely afternoon wedding at local Church in the activities center. The wine and cheese post-ceremony service and plated luncheon gave a touch of elegance to the reception while reflecting the fun-loving and casual attitudes of the bride and groom.
While the ceremony was going on in the main church, we took over the center’s kitchen and got to work on setting up the dining room. Beautiful centerpieces matched the lilac napkins which also matched the bride’s dress. After the church bells rang, the guests enjoyed a light hors d’oeuvres and wine service in the gorgeous springtime weather.
Special kid’s “salads” of carrots sticks and ranch were served to the younger guests for the salad course while the adults enjoyed the real thing. The plated luncheons came next ~ an elegant stuffed chicken roulade along with two fresh vegetables. But the real hit of the afternoon was the absolutely sinful creme brulee!
If you are looking for a more informal or relaxed reception without sacrificing taste and elegance, consider an afternoon ceremony and reception for your wedding. Catering by Larry can create the perfect menu for you and your beloved to give you the wedding of your dreams.
