Southern Charm

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

We had the opportunity of working with this wonderful family for the rehearsal dinner and wedding! Tori and Jordan are an amazing and fun loving couple! We worked very closely with Jordan’s parents to help them host a rehearsal dinner with southern charm. The rehearsal dinner was held at the beautiful Cotton Top Plantation in Norway, SC. Cotton Top is a beautiful Bed & Breakfast and Winery. The main house boast wide wrap around porches surrounded by the vineyard.

Cocktail Hour was held on the front lawn. Refreshing Blueberry Tea and Peach Tea were served with Fresh Fruit Skewers,Pimento Cheese with Pita Chips and deconstructed Caprese Salad.

I really wanted to embrace the beauty of the house and porches. Instead of using your standard round guest tables, I decided to do a 56 foot long family style table with seating for 64. We went with clover linens, a burlap runner and light oak wood chairs. Grant with Something Special Florist lined the center of the table with beautiful flowers and candlelight.

Tori and Jordan wanted to serve a very simple, but delicious dinner. Using a beautiful wood table from the venue, we did a Lowcountry Boil display with salad and our “Signature” Mini Corn Muffins with Strawberry Butter. Mini Key Lime Pies were the perfect ending to a spectacular evening!

Testimonials

Capital City Catering could not have done a more perfect job for our daughter's wedding reception. Actually, they were more than caterers. LeeAnne helped guide me through the process, including helping with other vendors since I was not a local Mom. She worked hand in hand with our florist and the final product was beautiful, delicious and fun! I am still receiving comments on the food and the outstanding presentation, including the "special touches" for the bride and groom. They asked just the right questions to prepare wonderful dishes suited for all of our guests. The Asian bar was especially a success, as it was a totally different concept, and Capital City combined it with the "traditional" to make a perfect event! Thanks to LeeAnne and Jonathan for their wonderful combined talents during this special time for our family.
