Bridal Shower - Cornville Maine

We recently catered an intimate bridal shower in Cornville, Maine.

The client was looking for an elegant display of light summery foods that featured some of their favorite ingredients.

Belle Fete chose to go for a look of silver and cut glass accented by wild flowers to create a feminine and indulgent feel. Blues and creams added to the dramatic look while pictures of the couple added a personal touch.

THE MENU

The menu featured Maine seasonal summer foods and incorporated the bride's love of artichokes.

Bruschetta Bar - Homemade crostini served with a trio of toppings: Traditional Tomato Bruschetta with Fresh Mozzarella, Portabella Balsamic Topping with Goat Cheese, and Artichoke Spinach Topping with Creme Fraiche.

Fruit and Cheese Platter - Featuring domestic and imported cheeses with exotic and local fruits accompanied by honey yogurt dipping sauce.

Caprese Flatbread - Served on rosemary foccacia with homemade pesto

Chicken Salad Stuffed Pate Choux - with a hint of cumin

Sun-dried Tomato and Artichoke Pasta Salad with whole wheat penne pasta and a sun-dried tomato balsamic vinaigrette.

Mixed Green Salad of Oranic Mesculin greens tossed with dried cranberries, candied pecans, and crumbled goat cheese. Served with balsamic vinaigrette

Desserts included:
Mini Whoopie Pies
Lemon Bars
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Dear Lori,

Since we first discussed our wedding on the phone, practically a year prior to the date, I felt fully assured that we would have a beautifully catered day, and the result exceeded my expectations. After calling around to various caterers, I felt immediate relief after discussing the day with you. I believe you truly got us as a couple, and understood exactly what we were looking for right from the get go.

The wonderful food aside, your and Audrey's knowledge of the industry is very apparent. You truly were a caterer/wedding planner extraordinaire, and thought of so many details that we would have otherwise overlooked. Perhaps the best indication of your professionalism is that Whit and I were able to have a completely stressfree day and enjoy the company of our family and friends. From what I have heard from others, it is very rare for a couple to be able to enjoy their day as we did without the hectic panic of planning getting in the way. Ours was truly a seamless operation from start to finish and we have you to thank for that.

Of all the rave reviews of the food we received, most were about the honey butter haddock and the lobster cakes in particular. From decorating the cake with organic flowers, getting us to sit down and eat our dinner, to ordering the band pizza, you truly went the extra mile and I'm sure we will never fully know all that went into making our day so perfect.

Thank you, Thank you!! Best to you and Audrey.

To Lori and Belle Fete Employees:

Just a few words to express my gratitude and appreciation for your wonderful services! First of all, the food was wonderful. No, no....exquisite. Everyone there thoroughly enjoyed their meal and immediately went for seconds. The presentation was beautiful, the service smiling and everything overall was splendid! My guests were happy, so I was happy. My new husband was especially happy, and who could ask for more than that?

I will be a walking advertisement for your wonderful establishment, and send many, many thanks to those who were present at the wedding and did such a great job.

Second, our wedding cake was out of this world! I couldn't have asked for better, Audrey it was perfection!! Thank you for the kindness of making an extra tier, which is happily waiting in the freezer for 2010 to be eagerly devoured by an even more in love couple! (God, I'm sappy!!)

Lastly, Lori you are awesome! You made the whole experience that much more wonderful for a new bride and groom. I thank you for your professionalism and integrity, as well as your pizazz!! I look forward to more endeavors, and wish all of you well in this late, but amazing summer!

Thank you,

Patrick and Jocelyn L.
