This past September I attended a Trumps Catering Tasting as a guest vendor.  I'm going to be at their next tasting in March too! I took some photos of their delicious - and artfully presented - food to share with you. If you are interested in having Trumps cater your wedding and/or would like an invitation to the tasting on March 11th, contact Andree and tell her I sent you!The cakes are always so beautiful... and delicious too!  The only reason there were "sheet cakes" was for easy cutting, sharing, and tasting! Check out their cake page to see many of the cakes Susan has designed, as well as the flavors offered!Martini Glass Grits Station: Creamy Southern Style Grits with Assorted Toppings - Mixed Peppers, Green Onions, Sautéed Mushrooms, Grated Cheeses, Andouille Sausage, Smokey Bacon and Spicy Shrimp.Potato Bar: including Potato Puffs (Sweet and Regular), Re-Stuffed New Potatoes, and Hash Brown Casserole.Everyone at Trumps is professional and very sweet!Trumps also invited a few florists to show some of their work.Here are some of Maggie's creations, from European Floral Design.Here are some from Holly at The Holly Garden.And a few from Deborah at Flowerland.

After the 'First Look' we took some photos with the wedding party.  Kristen and Charley got married on a gorgeous spring day, so we had to take advantage of the weather, the greenery and the blooming trees!Kristen's wedding color was pink, so this tree was just perfect.  Lovely ladies, too!Charley and his groomsmen.Kristen's adorable niece was the flower girl.Charley's sister, looking beautiful!The flower girl was such little model.  She caught me turning the camera in her direction and immediately "struck a pose," leaning back on the stairs just so.  Adorable!Kristen and her mom, just before the ceremony.Next I'll post the ceremony!

The Foundry Park Inn in Athens, GA is a fabulous venue for a wedding.  They have a few ballrooms for your event in addition to the Hoyt House Pavillion, the Melting Point, and the Hoyt House private dining room.  There is a spa for relaxation and getting ready for your big day and great rooms for you and your guests to stay in.Jackie & Greg's Rehearsal Dinner was held at the Hoyt House Pavillion and it was fabulous!  I love it when a couple hires me for the rehearsal dinner in addition to their wedding.  The rehearsal dinner is usually the closest of the couple's friends and family, including those who travelled to the wedding just for you!  There are also some of the best toasts which make for perfect photo opportunities on this more casual evening before the wedding.  Here are some of my favorite photos from Jackie and Greg's Rehearsal Dinner.Greg's Dad toasts the bride and groom.And Greg's friends "Roast" him!Good friends = Good timeswww.CourtneyGoldman.com
