This couple wanted their guests to mix and mingle with each other while sampling different foods and beverages. We set up stations around the room to encourage everyone to sample a little food while visiting with each other, and then move on to try some more. For cocktail hour, we served assorted cheeses, veggies and dip, spinach artichoke dip, stuffed mushrooms, cucumber rounds with smoked salmon and dilled cream cheese, and banh mi meatballs with a sweet chili sauce. Dinner was mashed potato bar, grilled chicken and Burger sliders, mac and cheese, chips, Greek salad, peanut noodles and fruit. There is something for everyone -- So much fun! #vkacatering #madewithlove #fromscratch @ Cornerstone Center for the Arts
