Our cocktail hour was at Falkirk Estate, and I have so many good things to say, I don’t know where to begin. There was every type of food imaginable! We had a steak carving station, an Italian Sunday dinner station, hot and cold seafood stations displayed in an ice clam sculpture, and a Mexican station that served tequila shots. There were so many delicious passed hors d’oeuvres, it’s hard to pick favorites! We had coconut shrimp, Maryland crab cakes, and cheese quesadillas, to name a few.
The ballroom décor was something out of a movie; our centerpieces were stunning, filled with romantic cream-colored hydrangeas and dendrobium orchids. The dance floor was constantly filled with our friends and family dancing to a variety of genres. Nick absolutely loves to dance so I knew the dance floor would be going all night, thanks to our amazing band and DJ!
For food, we started with a butternut squash ravioli, followed by a fresh mozzarella and tomato napoleon, and before the entrée, a lemon sorbet. We gave our guests the options of filet mignon and garlic jumbo shrimp, Chilean sea bass, and Falkirk chicken stuffed with sautéed spinach and Asiago cheese. We had a classic wedding cake, and family-style dessert towers on every table. No one left our wedding hungry!
