Aimee and Bobby









































On May 7th we have the pleasure of working with aimee and Bobby for their wedding at Greystone Hall. Although we do countless weddings each year and everyone becomes special to us, this wedding has some very special sinificance for us. I have worked with Aimee's mom, Betsy for a number of years when we would cater the annual Wayne Senior Center luncheon at the Willows in Radnor. Two years ago we catered Aimee's cousin Stephanie's wedding at the Willows and aimee's wedding was to be the first wedding we would be doing at the Historic Greystone Hall in West Chester. Aimee and Bobby had decided to have their ceremony in the beautiful gardens on the property but, unfortuantly at the last minute we had to switch to plan "B" as a quick moving storm came in just as the last of the guests were seated outside and the bridal party began to line up. Not to be deterred, our staff assisted the staff of Greystone in quickly setting up the ceremony inside. As the ceremony ended the skies cleared and we were able to present cocktail hour on the north garden terrace. Guests nibbled on Lobster Macaroni and Cheese on Asian Spoons, Coconut Shrimp, Arrancini with Fresh Mozzarella, Pear Wedges with Blue Cheese and Walnuts and what has become our biggest seller Philly Cheese steak Eggrolls with Sirachi enhanced Ketchup.



After cocktails and hors d' oeuvres guests were ushered into the beautiful tent overlooking the south lawn for introductions, dinner and dancing.


Dinner stations included our very popular sautee station with lump crabcakes and shrimp scampi cooked to order in front of guests, a pasta bar with Tortellini Vodka and Bowtie Pomdoro and a carving station with Roasted Pork Loin and Tenderloin of Beef complimented with a Roasted Fingerling Potato Salad and Grilled Seasonal Vegetables.


Dessert included a chocolate fondue and a beautiful wedding cake from Bakers of Buffington. As a final touch our servers butlered warm cookies and shots of ice cold milk as the last song of the night played and guests boarded the shuttle to continue the party.
