Wedding Ceremony and Reception
THE NEW SOUTH

Your evening starts in a beautiful garden setting. The chairs are in place for the ceremony and the area is decorated by the natural beauty of the landscape, as well as with tones of ivory, light pink and chocolate brown. Candles flicker and soften the evening. Next, as guests leave the garden after the ceremony, they make their way back into the main house. During this time, we present a cocktail hour, featuring our signature cranberry Margarita – perfect for a crisp fall day. We also present a

stationary, Imported cheese display as well as a selection of elegant butler passed hors d’oeuvres. Meanwhile, guests are also invited to enjoy a full service bar for cocktails and wine. While guests mingle and the bride and groom are photographed, our staff readies the dining room for a delicious culinary journey. We crafted your menu to feature “Southern” foods from around the globe – South America, Southern Italy and The New, Locally Grown South.
