Andi + Roland

Every now and then, a wedding reception comes along and makes us see weddings in a whole new light. Andi and Roland's celebration was exactly that-- truly unique, low key, and tons of fun. Le Maison Rouge, Paris on Ponce's one of a kind event space, served as the perfect setting for a spectacular party. A little off the beaten path, Le Maison Rouge's vibe is like no other venue in Atlanta; funky yet romantic, the dark space is filled with rare antique finds, beautiful light fixtures and burlesque props, not your average wedding decor, but right up Andi and Roland's alley. It is always a treat when we meet a bride and groom who don't want the cookie cutter wedding or the typical menu, and Andi and Roland's completely vegetarian and gluten sensitive menu kept us on our toes. Guests enjoyed butter bean cakes with our famous pimento cheese, stone ground grit cakes with hook cheddar, and rutabaga and boursin tarts during cocktail hour. The buffet dinner satisfied even the carnivorous guests, filling them up on pad thai, wild mushroom ravioli, champagne braised brussel sprouts and artichoke mash with fresh parmesan.
The happy couple danced to their great live band, All Over Twist, out of Asheville, and goofed off in the Smilebooth with some amazing props. Heidi from Our Labor of Love was there to capture the tender and tasty moments.
About a week after Andi and Roland's wedding celebration we were excited to hear from Andi's soon to be sister-in-law, and even more thrilled to be catering their wedding this December. Check out the kind words Andi and her mother, Terri, wrote about Sun in my Belly.

It just gives us the warm and fuzzy feeling to be a part of these terrific peoples past and future. 
Cheers,
