Sue and Chris

On Saturday September 24, 2011 we had the pleasure of working with Sue and Chris for their backyard wedding at their home in Malvern. From our initial meeting Chris and Sue both stressed that because they were having at their home, they wanted it to feel like a big party, that more than likely would go into the wee hours. The plan was for the ceremony to be held on their back patio and then our staff would move the chairs into the adjoining tent for cocktails, dinner and dancing. Although the skies were turning gray as we approached ceremony time and we thought for sure Plan B would be going into effect (Moving the ceremony into the tent), the rain held off for a beautiful ceremony.

With the ceremony behind us and Sue and Chris off taking photos, our staff quickly moved the chairs into the tent cocktail hour started. Tray passed hors d; oeuvres included Kennett Square Mushrooms stuffed with Lump Crab, Sesame Chicken Skewers and Mini shot Glasses filled with a Jumbo Shrimp and Crab Claw.

After pictures and a wild introduction from Disc Jockey and Family Friend Rob Hallinan guests were treated to 3 dinner stations including a carving station with Sliced Bistro Steak and Roasted Turkey, a Pasta Station with Penne Vodka and Bowtie Pomodoro and the big hit of the night a Philly Cheese Steak Station. With myself and an assistant chopping furiously away, guests loved the Philly Rib eye and Chicken Cheese steaks complete with Sauteed Onions, Mushrooms and Cheese Whiz.

The skies held up for the rest of the night and Rob had the dance floor packed until late in the night. Special thanks to Flowers by Priscilla in Paoli who once again did a great job with the centerpieces and Buffet enhancements.
