The New England Wedding Theme…
If your from Connecticut and want to welcome your fiancés family to your home host a New England themed wedding offering comfort foods you loved when growing up. You can always opt for a stationary style wedding and have another station dedicated to his hometown as well!
Lobster is New England’s favorite summertime meal. Serve Maine Lobsters, Corn on the Cob, Garlic and Oregano Crusted BBQ Chicken, and fresh watermelon. A great cost effective wedding option!
Serve Staple New England Dishes
- Maine Lobster Rolls on Brioche Buns
- White Clam Pie Pizza Bites (Ct’s specialty)
- North Fork Stuffed Clams (Long Islands Popular Dish)
- Mini Burgers Passed (New Haven claims to be the birth place of the hamburger)
- Strawberry Rhubarb Parfaits
- Mini Boston Cream Doughnuts
- (Make anything mini and passed by servers and it will turn into “chic gourmet comfort food.”)
Serve wine from local CT wineries. Spend a Saturday afternoon with your fiancé trekking the CT wine trail and sample! Chardonnay and Merlot does well in Connecticut’s cool growing climate. You should be able to find some nice dry Chards and Merlots as opposed to some of the sweeter styles.
Highlight Connecticut’s farms by featuring fresh organic ingredients in both green and fruit salads. Here’s a popular item on our menu: October Farms Yellow Watermelon and Honey Dew Melon Salad, Tossed with Mint, Arugula, Feta, Basil
Artisan Cheese Displays from New England cheese producers. Nodines Smokehouse in Torrington makes some really nice smoked cheeses. Vermont cheddar is a must. And if you want to stay really local request cheese from these producers: Cato Corner Farm in Colchester, Beltane Farm in Lebanon, or Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem.
