Celebrating the enchanting wedding of Kevin and Haley at the picturesque Sanders Estate! Nestled amidst rolling hills, vibrant floral gardens, and the charm of a historic mansion, this venue offered a truly magical backdrop for their special day. Kevin and Haley’s wedding was a perfect blend of elegance and personal touches, with their two adorable pups as part of the wedding party. Dressed to impress, their sweet furry friends donned pearls and floral accents. From the lush greenery to the timeless architecture, every detail of their wedding reflected the beauty of love, family, and cherished moments.
Guests were treated to an exquisite dining experience that began with tray-passed appetizers, setting a tone of sophistication and indulgence. They savored the delicate balance of smoked salmon atop honeydew canapés and the comforting decadence of buttermilk fried chicken served on mini waffles, topped with melted triple crème brie and a drizzle of maple glaze. For the main meal, an elegant buffet awaited, featuring a vibrant blackberry and champagne salad with delicate greens, local chèvre, and vanilla-chipotle spiced pecans.
Entrées included spice-rubbed pork loin complemented by smoky Carolina Gold BBQ sauce and flambeed apples and onions, alongside citrus-marinated chicken breast paired with an avocado lime relish. A Mediterranean quinoa salad added a refreshing vegan option, while cognac-flambéed wild mushroom risotto and grilled polenta cakes offered hearty, flavorful vegetarian choices. A Pike Place Market-inspired grilled vegetable platter sprinkled with fleur de sel completed the spread, accompanied by artisan breads served with herb-infused olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar, making for a truly unforgettable meal.
