On Wednesday, February 23rd we had the priviledge of catering a corporate dinner event at the Blue Ball Barn in Wilmington, Delaware. This historic space is great at hosting both social and corporate events. Throughout the entire facility beautiful art work is exhibited for viewers.
The bi-level renovated barn has four main rooms. The Milking Parlor and Calving Room (great for meetings) are on the lower level and open to the beautiful courtyard that allows for great views of Wilmington and a Spring, Summer cocktail hour location. Located upstairs are the Straw and Hay Rooms. Large windows fill both of these rooms which gives great natural sunlight and views again of Wilmington.
Following an all day conference our guests winded down at their cocktail reception in the Straw Room. Above are photos of three passed hors d’oeuvres we served. Left to Right are the Mini Lobster Skewers, Beef Tenderloin Canape and the Grilled Red Snapper served on a ginger- jalapeno rice cake. The guests then moved to the Hay Room, adjacent to their cocktail hour for dinner. Their dinner menu consisted of the Lolla Rosa and Frisee Salad with apples, sharp cheddar, walnuts, finished with smoked bacon vinaigrette; a dual entree of Traditional Coq au Vin and Pan Seared Salmon accompanied by green beans and trio of roasted fingerling potatoes finished with an opera cake.
