“The menu for the event was purely Southern. We wanted the food to be a reflection of the local produce,” says the couple.

The reception featured local duck, wrapped in bacon and served with plum dipping sauce, along with chilled shrimp, and grilled pears for appetizers. The guests also enjoyed a traditional Southern-style meal of pork tenderloin, sweet potato casserole, corn souffle, and local green beans.
