On Tuesday, September 15th I enjoyed an evening at The Sunset Room at The National Harbor...what a view!  R & R Catering hosted a Bridal Tasting and it gave brides a chance to see The Sunset Room all decked out! DaVinci Florist provided the beautiful centerpieces and lighting that enhanced the room.  With the tables all set using R & R's linens, chairs, and tableware the room looked like all it was missing were the bride & groom!  Actually, there were lots of brides and grooms in attendance, but they are in the planning stage of their weddings.

    Several times each year, R & R Catering joins together with a wedding venue to host a Bridal Tasting.   Included in the evening are some of their "preferred vendors."   This allows the brides to see the venue, taste the food, and visit with some of the areas top wedding professionals.  By inviting only one vendor in each category (ie. florist, cakes, photographer, planner, etc.), the brides are able to enjoy the pleasant, calm atmosphere while visiting with each vendor.   Our floral art is often something they have never seen before, so it gives me the opportunity to display samples of our artwork and explain how our process works.  

    Keep an eye on our website's "Upcoming Events" page to see when the next tasting will take place.

                                                
Diana Skenderovic, the Wedding Department Manager at DaVinci Florist, visited with me at my display table.  We love working with the brides from DaVinci's---they always have such beautiful, fresh flowers! 

                              

The centerpiece was created with a variety of flowers and colors.  The buffet table had tall vases with orchids---simple yet elegant.

                     

Pamela Hutzell from Celebration Cakes treated us to a delicious desert and it was a pleasure to meet Kim and Angel Thompson of Serendipity Special Events.  Like Theresa and I, Kim and Angel are sisters in business together.  

    Many thanks to R & R Catering for including me in this fabulous evening.  The food was outstanding and the company even better.  My family was thrilled that Pam even sent me home with some extra cake!
