Jessie and Robs Wedding Reception...

Well, just pulled off my first official wedding reception as a private chef. I had a buddy help me out, check out his blog here.

So, it took like a week to set up for it. Our gracious host took care of all the non-food related details (tent, rental ware, linen, etc.) and the ceremony was held at the grooms house in their back yard. They have a HUGE yard, a rare find in the Charlotte area.

I was told there would be 50 people there and, after counting heads, there were no less than 70 people there! Luckily I made enough food (I have this fear of running out sometimes, so I planned for the worse, good habit to have man.)

So, food for 50, (actually 70+), a brunch setup, live music, beautiful ceremony and the nicest weather we could have imagined at 86F and low humidity, sweet.

Here's the menu:
