Our Summer wedding was anything but average. It was an intimate affair at a private residence in the Hamptons. Every single detail was carefully thought out and the food was no exception. We worked carefully with a private caterer and wedding planner to curate a seasonal menu with all of our favorite flavors. Each item we served was chosen based on the time of year, location and guests who attended. The food was exceptional and we could eat this menu every day. Keep reading for the food service breakdown from start to finish.
Specialty Cocktails
Upon arrival, our guests were greeted by staff at a curated beverage cart, where guests could choose from a coup of sparkling rose or a stem glass of mint and citrus infused water as they walked into the ceremony space. In addition to a full top shelf open bar, we served two specialty cocktails that we developed with our caterer. We chose every detail, including the garnishments for the cocktail glasses, such as edible flowers, custom swizzle sticks with our wedding date and slogan "Forever Love," dehydrated grapefruit sliced and smoked glass rims.
