R & R Catering Open House & Tasting

Last week I had the opportunity to participate in one of R & R Catering‘s fabulous events, an Open House & Tasting, which took place at River Farm.  I was so lucky to have been invited.  It was a perfect, breezy evening (which have been rare so far this summer!) and R & R threw a great party.  R & R decorated River Farm like a modern, chic wedding reception with fabulous linens, dinnerware, and table arrangements.  Guests were free to enjoy cocktails, the buffet of entrees, the passed hors deovures, the stir fry station, and fondue.  If you are planning a wedding, I encourage you to check out the next R & R event.  It’s a great way to enjoy an evening, try fabulous food, see a venue up close, meet wedding vendors, and be inspired for your own event.

I have to say that this event was particularly special for me because I absolutely love River Farm.  My husband and I strongly considered this venue for our own wedding, and I regret that we didn’t choose it, especially after I saw it on this particular evening.  River Farm is a historic home right on the Potomac and it is surrounded by beautiful gardens and greenery (it is part of the American Horticultural Society afterall :).  As guests ate under the tent and wandered the grounds with their cocktails, I saw what a great venue River Farm is and how perfect it must certainly be on wedding days!

The amazing venue, River Farm.

It was also great to meet the other wedding vendors at this event!  Everyone was so friendly and they made the evening that much more enjoyable.
