A Garden Wedding

It is no secret that, at one time or another, every bride-to-be has dreamt of a garden wedding. Whether she has grown up in a big urban city or small rural town, the thought of an outdoor wedding conjures up feelings of romance and happiness. The wonderful thing about a garden wedding is that it can be simple or elaborate. Whatever the budget, an outdoor ceremony can be truly magical. Imagine walking down a long white runner sprinkled with rose petals, hearing the birds sing overhead, and seeing the man of your dreams standing under a lower-filled gazebo. Or if the wedding is to take place after sundown, twinkling white lights in the trees and around the gazebo can add a specialtouch. Location and atmosphere are especially important for an outdoor wedding. The bridal couple should look for a place that can accommodate a wedding. Whether they are interested in having it at a hotel, park, or country club, they should be sure to check out what facilities are readily available. And most importantly, the location must have a few good spots for professional photographs to be taken before and after the ceremony. For example, photographs in front of a gazebo or a pool always come out beautifully. So if you are planning a wedding and cannot decide where to have it, check out your local outdoor wedding facilities. A garden wedding can be even more romantic and beautiful than you’ve ever imagined it to be!

Star Wars Wedding

Star Wars Wedding – Jim Henson Muppet Studios by Jeannie Ward | Jan 8, 2016 Catered by Summit Event Catering Star Wars is a phenomenon that has endured for over 30 years. With the release of the newest installation of “The Force Awakens” the popularity of the franchise is at an all new high. As with most pop culture trends, it’s affected our daily lives. No longer are geeks afraid to share their love of Luke Skywalker, Chewbaca, and The Millenium Falcon. Now they are incorporating them into their weddings. We’ve had the rare opportunity to work with a wedding planner who specializes in Geek Weddings! Rebel Belle Weddings has pushed us to new creative heights in translating our menus into their client’s themes. Event Producer Veronica Medrano embraced this Star Wars Themed wedding which took place at Jim Henson Muppet Studios, by turning into our very own resident geek with her ideas and designs. Our chefs manned the buffet line dressed as Storm Troopers complete with spatulas to match! And a Ham Solo Carving station kept the guests satisfied. It was carved by none other than Obi Wan Kenobi! To top it all off, our servers wore custom designed aprons that said May The Forks Be With You. No detail is left to chance with us. We have an in-house graphic designer who creates menu markers that match the theme of all of our events. It’s those little touches that make an event truly memorable. We hope you’ll be inspired to be creative with your special day and allow us to bring you great food, legendary service, and all the little touches that you deserve. Congratulations to this wonderful and adventurous couple. We loved being part of your amazing day and hope THE FORCE will remain with you always. Special thanks again to Rebel Belle for showing us how to have fun with food! If you’re planning a wedding in 2016 and need a caterer who isn’t afraid to jump into your theme with both feet give us a call at 888-498-0773, Summit Event Catering. We can’t wait to show you what we bring to the table!
