Our good friend David Campli of Campli Photography in Malvern, PA has been very good to us over the years.  He especially knows how much we love to see the photos of weddings he has captured while we are busy behind the scenes.  It sometimes escapes us in the middle of big events just how breath taking they turn out.  Fortunately, great photographers like David capture the beauty, fun and awe of weddings so we can remember the day long after the last dance.

This batch of photos was of a wedding we catered at Radnor Hunt this past fall.  When you do so many events at a venue you think you have seen all the popular photo-op spots there is to be had.  But David has captured Radnor Hunt in a way only he could, creating scenes we never imagined.

The simple glowing centerpieces combined with the bands multicolored uplighting, gave the main ballroom a new look, showcasing its elegant yet modern style.

Radnor Hunt has a picturesque quality day or night.  In fall, the colors of the seemingly far off forest are set ablaze with the changing of the seasons.  What could be more beautiful than a couple walking off into the beyond of reds, oranges and yellows?

Thank you David for sharing your work with us throughout the years; you are a credit to your craft.

This past Sunday we worked at Radnor Hunt catering a baby shower for a long time client.  We have been with this client through countless holidays, weddings, showers and more, it is wonderful to have such long relationship with the family.  This client has a great sense of style and is passionate about food making our jobs with them even more fun.

As guests arrived they were treated to passed drinks including a cranberry bellini and hot spiced cider. The cranberry bellini was made with cranberry and pomegranate juices topped with champagne, whole cranberries and a mint leaf.  The hot spiced cider was served in an Irish coffee mug accompanied by ginger snap cookies.

On a table in one corner of the room was a beautiful display of stationary hors d’oeuvre.  A variety of cheeses were displayed on marble slabs at differing heights as well as crudite also on marble.  Overflowing baskets of crackers were centered on the table flanked by spinach and roasted red pepper dips for the crudite and three types of mustards for the cheese.

The first course offered was a dual soup and salad plate.  Our fruits of fall arugula salad with dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, candied pecans, caramelized onions and Manchego cheese was accompanied by a cup of butternut squash with crumbled almond brittle garnish.  The course was served on what is called a tea/toast plate; a simple round plate with an indentation on one side for a cup of soup to sit in.  They are great for this style combo or the popular soup and sandwich combo. Served with this course was a fresh roll with stork and carriage shaped butter pats.

Guests had a choice of three proteins for the luncheon entrée with an available vegetarian option.  The first choice, pan broiled chicken Cerasus, was stuffed with brie and sun dried cherries topped with Morello cherry marmalade glaze.  The second choice, herb crusted tenderloin medallion, was finished with a rich demi glace.  The final selection, citrus infused salmon filet with champagne truffle sauce, was the crowd favorite of the day. The vegetarian option offered was a roasted Portobello mushroom Napoleon with layers of roasted vegetables and goat cheese.  Each entrée was accompanied by wheat berry, red rice and wild rice pilaf and seasonal vegetable bundle tied with scallion ribbon.

Radnor Hunt’s sun flooded small ballroom fit the party of 60 perfectly offering an intimate yet spacious setting for opening gifts after lunch. Décor for the afternoon was provided by Sommerfield Design Flowers.  Shades of purple filled the room in flowers, glasses, napkin rings and even chair cushions. Three different sized vases each with a different variety of flower were set atop the hors d’oeuvre table. Linens were a soft ivory on the place card, bar and hors d’oeuvre tables.  Guest tables had a soft ivory base with a sheer deep sage overlay with satin ribbons in a plaid pattern on top.

The day was beautiful and filled with the joy of the coming pitter patter of little feet.  We are incredibly privileged to have had the opportunity to caterer for this client throughout the years and very much look forward to continuing our relationship well into the future.  Congratulations!

On Friday one of our long time clients held their annual staff appreciation day at Radnor Hunt in Malvern, PA.  They could not have asked for a more perfect day with the cool fall air and the sun shining.

Each year the client chooses a different theme for the party.  Last year they went with a Hawaiian luau theme and this year they chose a sports theme.  All the guests came in their favorite sports team’s jersey, which of course made for some friendly competition.  The buffet was decorated with sports equipment from various sports.  Footballs, hockey sticks and equipment of all kinds was all around the room really pulling together the theme.

The buffet included pretzel nuggets with a variety of mustards and hot cheese dip for an hors d’oeuvre.  The main dishes were a variety of cheesesteaks either beef or chicken along with grilled vegetable sliders, buffalo shrimp sliders, balsamic potato salad and Sonoma county salad with creamy avocado dressing. Guests could also go outside to get specially made cheesesteaks.  The dessert selection included a fruit display, brownies, cookies and water ice.

The guests seemed to have a fantastic time as they played various games on the back lawn of Radnor Hunt. A DJ played fun relaxing afternoon tunes and the mood was altogether happy.  Even our staff could be seen bobbing their heads to the beat.  It was a wonderful afternoon and we look forward to doing it again next year.
