Cocktails and Connections 2013

Olive Chase January 30, 2013

As many of you know, last night was the annual Cocktails and Connections party hosted by the Casual Gourmet and The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce . It was a great success with over 175 wedding industry professionals at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod !

Once again, Rentals Unlimited out did themselves with their wonderful arrangement of high-top tables perfectly set for a mingling crowd!

Our petite entree station with Maple Glazed Duck with Butternut Flan & Cranberry Chutney was quite the hit!

Our SYSCO Boston sales rep, Paul Woodard, was kind enough to donate the wonderful cheese table and most of the passed hors d’oeuvres!

DJ Chris Baker did a great job MCing the night! And Olive and Wendy were quite the pair as they addressed the wedding industry of Cape Cod!

Thank you to all the wonderful florists:
Judy Fligg from All About Flowers
Abigail Whalen from Designers Touch
Fancy Flowers by Meredith
Karen Taddel from Lilacs
Patrice Milley from Patrice Milley Floral Design

Faith and James at Underwood Estate

When Mother Nature cooperates, there is something absolutely spectacular about an October wedding on Cape Cod. The sun is softer than in the summer months and takes on an ethereal golden hue, and it sets early enough to add a sense of romance to any afternoon wedding. Mother Nature was in a very, very good […]

Sarah Kate & Josh at Various Locations

What, pray tell, do we mean when we say Sarah Kate and Josh’s wedding was “at various locations”? Well, there was simply too much awesomeness to contain their wedding celebration to one venue. The weekend-long festivities, all of which were brilliantly orchestrated by Allison Wildes of Elegant Engagements, seemed to have everything. The one thing […]

Sarah & Brian at Bourne Farm

If the goal of one’s wedding is to spend a day, or a weekend, celebrating love and savoring laughter with those you are closest to (well, yeah; of course it is!), Sarah and Brian’s June wedding at Bourne Farm was a resounding success of epic proportions!
