Catering in Leesburg VA with Teatime Delicacies, Inc.
Saturday’s catered wedding reception was held at the Thomas Birkby House, in historic downtown Leesburg VA. www.birkbyhouse.com
Another spectacular spring day here in Northern Virginia and the Washington DC area, we didn’t even need to turn on the air conditioning inside the tent!
We set the bar up ouside on the courtyard of Birkby House, while our waitstaff Terri passed Chilled Shooters of Gazpacho.
Our bartenders served chilled red and white wines as well as a selection of beers and brewed iced teas. Other appetizers included a Domestic and Imported Cheese and Cracker Display including Rice Crackers for Gluten Free observers. We also passed Silver Dollar Salmon Cakes with a Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce or Pesto Cream along with a display of Baked Brie in Puff Pastry and French Bread.
And our lovely bride Lauren enjoys a chilled glass of Pino Grigio.
Once the guests had finished their cocktail hour, they invited into the grand Birkby tent.
The menu featured Ruth’s House Salad of Mixed Greens, Tomato, Scallion, Pecans, Dried Cranberry, Gorgonzola in a Balsamic Vinaigrette
We also served Chicken Picatta, Carved Steamship Round of Beef, Linguini with Sun Dried Tomato-Cilantro-Parmesan, Breads and Rolls, and of course a Fresh Fruit Arragement with Seasonal Fruits.
The bride and groom are English majors, so they decorated the guest tables with stacks of their favorite books. For the cake topper, a family member created an adorable custom made top featuring a bride and groom standing on top of a couple of books.
When it was time to actually do the wedding cake cutting ceremony we took the cake to the nearby Gazebo and the bride and groom did the photo op just before the sun set. One tier of Yellow Butter with Fresh Strawberry Filling, and another with Chocolate Fudge Cake with Fresh Raspberry Filling.
As a local Washington DC caterer, we never tire of this beautiful venue, and lo and behold, we are at the Birkby House again this coming weekend!
Best of luck to the bride and groom!
