We had two really great events last Saturday.
The wedding that took place here had a really great wine theme. The bride and groom make thier own wines and their favors were their own port, dessert wine, and ice wine. Each bottle had a different image and some really nice bits of wedding advice from their grandparents on the back.
My Sangria was once again a huge hit! I went through 13 gallons for 191 guests!
They also chose to have the Pasta w/ vodka sauce and the chopped salad served family style. I think this really fostered a sense of togetherness and got the tables really talking with each other.
The other event was an amazing graduation party off-premise.
