Family of Anna and Raymond gathered upstairs at The Estate on Second for a tea ceremony. Dressed in traditional attire, the bride and groom served tea and received red envelopes filled with blessings and good luck. Once everyone was able to share time with Raymond and Anna, they posed together for a group photo then headed downstairs to join all the guests for cocktail hour.
Guests arrived at the Estate on Second and found their way into the Speakeasy for tray passed Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons and Crab Cakes and Paloma and French 75 signature drinks. While everyone mixed and mingled, Anna and Raymond posed for photos together around the venue as husband and wife. Once the sun began to set into golden hour, guests headed into the Crystal Ballroom for the reception.
Colorful flowers and fruits decorated the tops of every table and light blue candlesticks added a touch of romance to the vibrant décor. As soon as guests were seated, the newlyweds made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Chicken Marsala, Tri-Tip Carvery, Green Beans, Red Roasted Garlic Potatoes, Penne Alla Checca, and Tangerine and Pecan Salad was served while toasts were shared. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Emily. After dinner, Raymond and Anna invited their guests to indulge in our Kouign Amann station for dessert. The evening ended with fun, celebratory games that got guests out of the seats and everyone laughing.
