Easter weekend was not only a time for egg hunts and tie-dyed bunny cakes but the beautiful weekend served as the backdrop to one of our most adorable couple’s weddings. The J. Scott team always rises to any challenges we may face in event planning. Considering this couple wanted to get married in the West Wing Ballroom at Phoenixville Foundry, but also needed the space for their 230 guests, our staff needed to flip the ballroom during cocktail service. Without a beat missed we were able to go from romantic ceremony site to elaborately set, sun light draped guest seating.
The cocktail reception included an edible basil spoon with sundried tomatoes and pesto goat cheese, black mission fig stuffed with gorgonzola, wrapped in parma prosciutto, hickory smoked farmhouse bacon wrapped diver sea scallop, beef teriyaki skewers with a spicy peanut sauce, wild mushroom and chevre tartlets and warm tomato soup shooter with grilled sharp cheddar cheese wedge.
On the Mezzanine guests also enjoyed a sushi station with handmade rolls by sushi Chef Akio. The station offered California, shrimp, tuna and vegetable rolls with ginger, soy sauce and wasabi.
The first course served featured a red and green leaf victory salad with shaved carrot, sliced cucumber, red pepper, chick peas and focaccia croutons drizzled with honey lime vinaigrette.
Guests enjoyed a choice between two entrees; sautéed salmon with lemon reduction accompanied by grilled white and green asparagus and golden beet and potato mash or filet mignon with balsamic shallot reduction accompanied by layered potato tower and grilled zucchini and yellow squash. Vegetarians were served gnocchi montanesca with sautéed mushrooms, roasted red peppers, sweet peas and fresh basil in blush sauce.
Aside from the assorted petit fours and truffle plate on each guest table, the couple offered guests quite the selection for wedding cake. Their four tiered sweet treat featured layers of chocolate chip, lemon poppy, coffee and a top layer of raspberry as well as an extra layer cake of red velvet, as if there weren’t enough options already!
The couple’s impeccable taste bathed the Foundry in pale purple, silver and bright yellow. The flowers, by Sommerfield Design Flowers, came in different sizes for cocktail tables and guest seating with two types of arrangements on guest tables; either three large vases at the center of the table or three small vases with a tall lantern in the middle. We are always talking about how versatile the Foundry is and this wedding was no exception.
Thanks to all the vendors who helped make this event possible, the staff at the Foundry and the J. Scott team for their amazing job at this event. And of course a huge thanks you to the couple and their family for allowing us to play a role in this momentous occasion.
