Natalie and Tiago are my fabulous Infinity couple getting married on May 28, 2011. They flew down from NYC to have the last bit of their wedding details taken care of this week and what a week it has been.
They have accomplished so much, especially with the assistances of Natalie's fabulous and beautiful mother Diliana. They have shopped for the perfect invitation, suit, flower girl's dress and everything in between and now they were excited about the tasting! I mean who wouldn't be.
The tasting was to be held at the very beautiful Coral Gables Country Club. Where they remodeled and made everything brand new. Ladies, let me tell you that the chandeliers alone are, in this wedding planner's opinion, FAB-U-lous.
The place exudes elegance, romance, formality with a twist of hip and chic infused with the South Florida of old. "As one of Coral Gable's few traditional ballrooms, the Coral Gables Country Club is the perfect location for groups of one hundred to one thousand people. Originally constructed in 1924, this complex gracefully blends the traditional Mediterranean style of the exterior with elegant classical interior finishes. The facility boasts a magnificent grand ballroom and three satellite banquet rooms. With coral stone waterfalls, stunning crystal chandeliers, spectacular black marble foyers, rich Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors, ornate Italian marble columns and cornice molding, you will enjoy the luxurious sense of understated elegance."
So in the morning Natalie and Tiago, ate very light and by the time the tasting was to start they were ready to eat. And eat they did!
The assorted rolls and the presentation were just as lovely as any centerpiece could be, the antipasto and dual pasta tray was enough to say "enough"! But we must go on- the dual entree was coming. What to choose?
There was a choice of Medallion of Veal with mushroom and baked bonelss bresat of chicken with lemon herb crust in the wonderful white wine sauce? Or do they select Grilled NY striplion steak with a bourbon glaze and the Baked bonelss bresat of chicken with lemon herb crust in the wonderful white wine sauce?
BUT wait we still have more- Family style served seafood platter with grilled shrimp, calamari, mussels, halibut with lemon and olive oil emulsion, served with baby greens.
They serve the first two courses in a french style service and there is still yet more to come- the dessert!
The tiramisu served in a chocolate cup with kahlua anglaise and compote berries, just sounds delicious, but wait until you taste it!
And that red wine - Nero D'avolo- de-licous! Whatever the entree, I know that it will be more than satisfying to their guests and something to talk about for some time!
Now my fabulous brides, don't get me wrong, as you know I am experienced in food and fine cuisine. I also understand what true service is about, but the reason I gush about this place is because the staff is wonderful, helpful and most importantly professional. The service was to be expected- I expect excellence for my Infinity couples and the Coral Gables Country Club did not fail!
