Modern station buffet wedding at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery

 Congratulations to Philip and Iain!  Their September 10, 2011 wedding reception was intimate with a small group of 60 guests at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery.  Taking advantage of the contemporary decor, Philip and Iain chose an art deco theme for their wedding, with bright popping red as an accent colour to the sleek modern space. 
 
The menu featured three food stations - salads, pasta/potato, and meat.  We prefer to break up a buffet whenever possible to avoid the dreaded buffet line at weddings.  Guests are free to start at any station they like, and the evening takes on a more relaxed and casual feel.

Guests find their seats and wait for the grand entrance of the wedding couple

 

 Josie greets guests as they arrive to the Gallery from the nearby Grist Mill where the ceremony was held.  The welcome table featured a light and refreshing non-alcoholic strawberry "champagne" punch

 

 The head table - we love weddings at the Gallery, no need to decorate, the exhibits take care of it for you!
