The brief
The hosts wanted an unhurried evening at home with shared platters, easy conversation, and nothing that felt too formal before the wedding day.
The menu & service
The final plan included family-style platters, seasonal salads, warm bread, a dessert table, and two servers to refresh dishes and clear between courses.
The result
Guests settled into a warm, easy evening while the hosts stayed with their family instead of the kitchen.
