Our Menu

Our menu is crazy. There is going to be so much food at this wedding that I think it's only fair to warn guests about the amount so that they don't fill up too quickly. Because in addition to appetizers, there's essentially going to be TWO full dinners. Seriously.

Don't mistake my tone. I couldn't be happier that we're going to have so much food and so many options for the varied tastes of our diverse guests. Let me give you a picture of our guests' food journey....

Upon entering they will be given a glass of champagne with a sliced strawberry on the side and will be able to enjoy any one of the following passed hor d'ouevres:

Baby Lam Chops with Roasted Garlic Glaze

Gulf Crab Cakes with Tartar Sauce

Cajun Shrimp Crostini

Tempura Shiitake Caps with Soy Ginger Dipping Sauce

Mediterranean Bruschetta

Roasted Pepper and Fresh mozzarella Tartlet

Sesame Chicken with Oriental Dipping Sauce

Scallops Wrapped in Bacon

Prosciutto and Melon Canapes

Caviar and Creme Fraiche in a Red Bliss Potato Cup

Smoked Salmon Salsa in a Cucumber Boat

Veal Carpaccio on a Garlic Crouton

After about a half hour the staff will open up our cocktail hour stations which will appear suspiciously like a full meal to our guests.

There will be a few cold stations:

Chilled Seafood Display - shrimp, oysters, and clams with cocktail sauce and cajun remoulade

Antipasto Display - cold cuts, assorted cheeses, grilled marinated vegetables and assorted breads and crackers.

Seasonal fresh fruit

Bountiful Bread Display

And there will be even more hot stations (get ready for your mouth to water!):

Italian Station - penne pasta with choice of vodka sauce or tomato basil, foccacia, bread sticks, and infused olive oils.

Carving Station - brown sugar roast pork loin with honey dijon sauce & roasted turkey breast with cranberry relish

Mexican Station - beef and chicken stuffed fajitas prepared to order, stuffed jalapenos, tostadas and salsa/guacamole

Shrimp and Scallop Saute Station - sauteed to order with herb champagne cream sauce

After the stations we will move to the ballroom. There will be a champagne toast while we enjoy our two appetizers. Keep in mind that this isn't an either or, everyone will have both. Which makes me so happy because just the thought of either makes my mouth water:

Wild Mushroom Strudel with Armagnac Cream Sauce

&

Baby Bibb with spiced almonds, mandarin oranges and honey thyme vinaigrette

Then, finally, we're on to the main course of the sit down dinner. Often, when you have a seated dinner you need to put the menu selections on the invitation so that guests can make their dinner choices ahead of time. Not so at the grand summit. They have table side dinner service which means guests will have their order taken on site, which I think is kindof classy :):

Sliced Chateubriand with bordelaise sauce

Fillet of Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce

or

Sauteed Breast of Chicken with Wild Mushroom, Tomato, and Tarragon Concasse

Then, after a bit of dancing and a bit of drinking ;), it will be time for dessert. I'm sure our guests will need the dancing time in between to work off some of their fullness from dinner (and cocktail hour). They will be able to fill themselves up again on:

Wedding Cake! - Hazelnut cake with Chocolate Fudge filling

Viennese Table - assorted french and italian pastries, assorted cakes, mousses, tortes, cookies, crepes suzette and ice cream station, italian cannolis piped to order
