Everyone we speak with about our wedding and reception remarks about how beautiful it was. And, I remember walking into the reception room prior to our guests and being caught off guard by how beautiful Jenny’s creation and plan turned out to be.

Jenny planned it all – the flowers, the chair covers, table setting, the positioning of art and photos, where the cakes and bar should be located and over other detail. Then, she continued with the Hors d’oeuvre, wine, champagne, surf-n-turf menu, cakes and party gifts. Finally, she topped it off with the a trio of violins playing during the reception.

Here are some pictures of the setup before our guests arrived:

For posterity sake, here’s what we served:

• Appetizer: Shrimp cocktail with avocado, pico de gallo and cocktail sauce
• Salad: Delmonico salad with mesclun greens, french feta, artichoke hearts, Roma red and yellow tomatoes, prosciutto, friend parsnips, and tripepper vinaigrette
• Main Course: Marinated filet with smoked mushroom glace de viande paired with rock lobster tail. White wild rice, dried cherries, pine nuts, fresh herbs, steamed asparagus with julienne red and yellow bell peppers and oven dried tomatoes
• Dessert: Buttercream vanilla cake with white chocolate fondant with layers of fresh strawberries. Ganache covered chocolate cake with fresh raspberries covered in chocolate fondant
