I figured I'd continue along with the recaps this week. Today we're onto the cocktail hour. Immediately after the ceremony the guests we're escorted into the cocktail room for some delicious bites & cocktails.
Here's what we served. It wasn't a ton of food...I didn't want to stuff people with a bunch of stations...I preferred offering a bunch of super delicious pass arounds and only a couple of stations.
Passed hors d'oevres
Cold
Shredded Beef Filet served with Blue Cheese on Endive Leaves
Honey Marinated Salmon with Noodles served in Chinese take-out boxesFigs stuffed with Mascarpone and Walnuts

Hot
Mac and Cheese Phyllo Cups
Baby Lamb Chops

Bacon wrapped Sea Scallops
Mangia station
Olives, cheese, tomatoes & other assorted antipasta
I wish I could have been there the entire time, but J & I were taken in and out of the room a few times for some photographs so I feel like we missed a lot of it. Nonetheless everyone told me they had a great time so that's what matters most.
