Ok, I attended my first Abigail Kirsch wedding and agree, her food really is awesome. There is a good reason why she is the exclusive caterer to some of NYC’s best spots (NY Botanical Gardens, Lighthouse, etc.)
Cocktail hour:
- beef sliders
- shrimp cocktail
- shrimp scampi dumplings
- mini crabcakes
- pasta station
- carving station – beef and smoked salmon
Seated dinner
- fried mozzarella and vine tomatoes
- arugala salad with tomatoes and parmasean
- steak or chilean sea bass
- toffee, chocolate mouse with marshallows
- chocolate wedding cake with buttercream frosting
The presentation and food itself were well executed. I also loved the multiple dimensions at the Lighthouse – slightly raised dance floor, outdoor terrace, tables flanking the dance floor. The nicest part was the hanging votives from the ceiling – it created a feeling of being outdoors somehow.
Our top contenders also feature multi-levels or indoor and outdoor decor. What do you like best about your reception venues?
