Wheeler/Plante Wedding: Part 4!

When anyone goes to a wedding, their biggest concern, usually? The menu. They might’ve already chosen via a menu card with the invitation, or they could be thinking of disastrous combinations with a buffet. Luckily for the guests at this wedding, they’re attending an event at the Log Cabin, and this couple knows how to design an amazing menu. 

Now, we’ve already seen their choices from the rehearsal dinner and social hour, so we know that these two are going to continue to “wow” their guests with the menu for the main meal. To begin, guests were served an appetizer at their tables of Jamaican chicken served on Gorgonzola cous cous topped with a tarragon sauce. For most, this would suffice as a meal, but here, we’re only getting started. 

From the appetizer, guests were welcomed to food from a variety of stations set up around the Grand Edna Williams ballroom for the dinner. The first was a risotto station featuring Tuscan chicken risotto, spinach and artichoke risotto, and a seafood risotto, all chef prepared to the guests order. The second station featured a variety of salads. These included Caesar, Savannah belle, cheese chop chop, marinated mozzarella pesto tortellini, the signature bread and shrimp cocktail. 

The station train doesn’t end there. The guests continued on to a bistro bar featuring margarita chicken, bistro sirloin, grilled salmon with a cucumber-dill sauce, and two fresh seasonal vegetables.

The fourth station was a potato melange station (one of my favorites! This station is great for any event, and brings a fun flavor to it), which featured mashed potatoes and potato skins with a variety of toppings including: bacon, broccoli, cheese sauce, sour cream, peppers, chives, salsa, whipped butter, cheddar cheese, onion, chili, red pepper, sauteed mushrooms and onions, Tabasco and assorted butters. 

The final dinner station was seafood featuring crab cakes, assorted sauces and crackers, a decadent lobster macaroni and cheese, baked scrod with a lemon seasoned bread crumbs, and New England clam chowder. 

After dinner, guests were welcomed to another station of sweet treats! You would think after all of the options at the social hour and dinner no guest would have any room left, but after seeing what this station included, you’d make room, too. This station included chocolate and cheese cake with assorted toppings, tiramisu, dark and white chocolate tuxedo cake, cannolis and eclairs, build your own ice cream sundaes with all of the fixings, a chocolate fondue fountain, and assorted candy in addition to their wedding cake!

There was an international coffee station with espresso, cappuccino, flavored specialty coffee drinks with assorted liquers, which of course was all accompanied by traditional coffee, tea, and decaf. 

Guests also enjoyed an open bar for the entire reception, accompanied by a custom martini bar with an ice luge. The bar served frozen drinks as well, to go with their theme, and of course, their signature “Plantini”! 

Completing the night was the entertainment, DJ Rob Alberti of After Hours DJ, to which the guests danced the night away with relaxation and laughter. 

This wedding could not have come together any better. A perfect summertime wedding, with personal touches and full of flare and flavor. To the new Mr. and Mrs. Plante, kudos for your vision and excitement for this big day, you’ve certainly impressed this blogger. 

Next up: We haven’t seen the last of these newlyweds! Stay tuned :)
