Preparing for the Big Moments

Benefiting from the support of our experienced team, Megan and Curtis were able to let their great vitality shine through on their wedding day. We were happy to learn that they wanted to arrive hours before their guests to settle in and take time for their first look and formal photos. With Megan tucked away in the bridal suite and guests beginning to arrive just before the 6pm on-site ceremony, we could not wait to see her grand entrance.

Reminiscent of the “I found my heart in San Francisco” sign on display, Megan and Curtis’ hearts were beaming as they stepped into the room. Blue lights and elegant white tablescapes set the scene for their first dance and welcome speech. Seated upon gold chiavari chairs, each guest enjoyed a refreshing dining experience—starting with a spinach and peppered pear salad. Complete with a light raspberry dressing, this first course beautifully complemented the lovely floral centerpieces and was the perfect entry to the Tongues’ seasonal menu.

Artfully crafted to match their unique tastes and style, the Tongues’ custom menu was a beautiful reflection of summer. The strawberry bourbon lemonade and bitters had guests’ mouths set for fresh and flavorful cuisine. Whether they enjoyed a herb marinated hanger steak or lemon and thyme beurre blank salmon, guests were treated to seasonal sides of creamy mushroom risotto and balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts. And guests who opted for the vegetarian main course were equally delighted by the roasted Portobello mushroom stuffed with butternut squash, Gorgonzola and garlic scented spinach.
