The Menu

Since we decided to move our venue to FBIL's restaurant, we came up with a new plan. Here is the final menu.

Appetizers:
* cheese and fruit display
* veggie potstickers
* jalapeno cheddar shrimp

First Course:
* mushroom brie soup

Second Course:
* mixed green salad with cucumbers, tomatoes and onion (served with choice of dressing)

Entree Options:
* filet mignon with a red wine reduction
* chicken chesapeake (chicken breast topped with creamy crab dip)

All entrees are served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus

Dessert:
* Wedding Cake

Late Night Snack: (my favorite suggestion)
* mozzarella sticks
* chicken quesadillas
*buffalo chicken wings

Signature Drink - Mojitos

I really like the idea of a signature drink so I started thinking about all of the different drinks we could have. Tom and I both really like mojitos and since they are green, I figured what could be better than that.

Alcohol

The caterer that we found offers a premium bar package for $6 a person. It includes sodas, water, juices, garnishes and everything but top shelf liquor. I think we will be able to get this at a lower price because we do not want a fancy beverage dispenser or the coffee package that comes standard. We also might be able to save money because we are only able to serve wine that comes from the winery.

I priced out the costs for the wine and it looks like it will be around $200 which is great and perfectly in the budget!

Cake

I probably looked at 200 cakes before I finally found this one. I absolutely love it. I do want to change the brown ribbons to purple and add purple roses onto the cake.

Tom's brothers girlfriend found a lady that does absolutely amazing cakes for really decent prices. I still need to get her contact information, but I think we can definitely work something out.

I have no idea what type of fillings I want at all. I'm not a big cake person at all, but Tom really likes cake, so I'll let him pick out what flavors and fillings he wants.
