spring equinox - a post wedding - one year anniversary celebration

This is an incredible menu – which we are thrilled to present!   You and your guests will enjoy a cocktail style format of continuous passed hors d’oeuvres and short plates.  

This creates both a greater diversity of offerings 

as well as an atmosphere of relaxed yet 

elegant and intimate intermingling with friends and family.   

As guests arrive they will be able to get a drink 

from the bar and nibbles from the grazing 

station near the bar, as well as being greeted 

by the aromas of delicious food such as filet mignon, 

salmon, shrimp  and more wafting in the air. 

In the main room on the lovely glass table 

will be a delightful station of antipasto to which 

the guests can help themselves. 

As more guests arrive, the wait staff will start 

circulating among your guests with a selection of 

passed hors d’oeuvres and short plates 

.....that is sure to amaze.....

..... + delight .....

you and your guests, enhancing 

the special closeness you all have.   

Last but not least the  delicious rivers of 

chocolate + caramel, add a sweet ending to the evening.
