A Magnolia Plantation Wedding

We love Magnolia Plantation, and this Fixer Upper inspired wedding will make you fall in love with it too!

Our beautiful bride, Libbie, channeled her favorite HGTV designer Joanna Gaines when planning her dream wedding. Event decor featured rich textures, a soft color palette and typographical elements. Read all about Libbie's inspiration (and the vendors that we collaborated up with) at theweddingrow.com.

Congrats to Libbie and Kaleb! We had so much fun catering this event!

Speaking of fun (and Joanna Gaines worthy typography), check out this gorgeous bar setup...

Congrats to Lorrie and Bert

We recently had the pleasure of catering a reception for our dear friends Lorrie and Bert Griggs. They threw a fabulous party out at the Patriots Point Pavilion that featured tons of locally sourced seafood. Land-loving guests enjoyed a mini biscuit bar with mouth watering jellies, butters and bacon, along with fried green tomato and pimento cheese sliders...

We also enjoyed a little slice of paradise courtesy of Cakes by Kasarda...

Congrats to Lorrie and Bert! We wish you a lifetime of love and leisure.

Photo Booths and Wedding Favors

Photo booths are popping up at events all over town, and we’re seeing them more and more at wedding receptions. It’s really no wonder as to why… Photo booths are tons of fun, and the prints make for great party favors.

If you want to step up your photo favor game, consider gifting frames to your guests along with the photo booth print. Any 2x6" size will do, and there are plenty of options to choose from (acrylic, wooden, enamel, etc.). Many can be ordered in volume online, which may help you save time and money.  

Available for purchase on Amazon

Frames can do double duty and be used for table numbers as well.

Shower Tips and Charleston Venues

Planning a baby or bridal shower? We’ve put together some dos, don’ts and local resources to make the process easier…

Do Consult with the Guest of Honor

Consult with the bride-to-be/mom-to-be well in advance. Find out when she is available and where she is registered. Present her with a few party date options so that she can share them with her closest friends and relatives. You won’t find a date that works for everyone, but it’s important to get buy-in from your guest of honor, her mother and potential co-hosts. 

Don’t DIY It All

If hosting a party in your home with DIY decorations and a made from scratch menu sounds stressful, it’s because it is. Pinterest-y party themes and DIY details are great, but limit your focus to one major area—decorating or cooking. Don’t attempt house cleaning, menu planning, decorating, meal prep, entertaining and more after-party house cleaning single-handedly.  

Do Leverage Friends and Family

If a friend or family member offers to contribute, let them! Have an open dialogue about what you are planning and how they would like to be involved. You may be able to form a coalition of co-hosts who are willing to share food, venue or other party costs. 

Don’t Plan Too Many Games

Guests don’t enjoy super goofy party games, and chances are, neither will your guest of honor. Limit entertainment to one game or party activity so that there is plenty of time for food, conversation and gifts.

Our favorite party game for baby showers is "Name that Baby" (mom-to-be attempts to identify the baby pictures of her party guests). For wedding showers, we like The Newly Wed Game (bride-to-be answers questions and answers are compared to her fiance's). Both of these require a little work on the front end (gathering pictures or quizzing the groom-to-be), but they are tons of fun and aren't completely embarrassing. 

Do Put an End Time on the Invite

Let your guests know how long the party will last, and stick to the commitment. Limit party activities to ensure there is enough time to open gifts. No one, including your guest of honor, wants to spend 6 hours on a Saturday opening gifts. 

Bridal Shower at Snee Farm Country Club

Shower Venues in Charleston

Relish Distinctive Catering serves two beautiful venues in Mount Pleasant that are well-suited for baby and bridal showers—RiverTowne Country Club and Snee Farm Country Club. Venue fees include chairs, tables, linens, flatware and china to make event planning easier and more affordable.

Already have a venue in mind? Our team is equipped to serve any venue that allows outside catering. Home delivery and pickup services are also available. Please contact us for more information.

Kensington Plantation

We’re excited to announce that, as of 2016, Relish Distinctive Catering is the exclusive caterer for Kensington Plantation! This beautiful wedding venue, located on Huger Creek, features water views, grand oak trees, a rustic barn and an adorable one room schoolhouse. 

Kensington Plantation was originally part of a 12,000 acre tract of land known as Cypress Barony. The land was divided in 1709, and a portion was given the name Kensington in 1740. The rice plantation was purchased by the Stoney family in the 1950s and was submitted to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The Stoney family still maintains ownership of the property.

Kensington Plantation is now available for private events of all sizes, and it is gaining popularity among Lowcountry brides. Brides who book Kensignton are encouraged to take advantage of our comprehensive catering services. In addition to food, we are equipped to provide...

Linens

glassware

flatware

china

day-of coordination

Visit South-Carolina-Plantations.com to learn more about Kensington’s history, or contact us for details. We would be happy to help you reserve the space! 

The Ultimate S'mores Station

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Tis the season for backyard bonfires and s’mores. You can’t go wrong with a tried and true combination of chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows. In fact, this is one of our favorite treats for parties and wedding receptions that last late into the evening. S’mores are a popular choice for events at Patriot’s Point Pavilion, Founders Hall and other Charleston area venues with a fire pit or fire place. You can contact Lacy (ldavidson@rivertownecountryclub.com) to learn more about our favorite venues and catering services, but enough about us… Let’s get back to the s’mores!

We love traditional s’mores, but if you want to take the sweet tooth experience to a whole new level, variety is the way. We recommend introducing some spreads (caramel, marshmallow, Nutella, etc.) to the mix. And try something unexpected! We love this unconventional sweet and salty combo from KevinAndAmanda.com…

Sweet & Salty S'mores

Ritz

Marshmallow

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup

We recommend setting your s’more fixings (assorted crackers, chocolates and spreads) buffet style. That way guests can experiment with different combinations. Consider incorporating miniature sized crackers, candies and marshmallows so guests can create samples and/or kid-friendly sizes.

We hope you’re holiday season is extra sweet! And if you ever need help entertaining a crowd, give us a call.

Party for the Parks 2015

We are thrilled to announce our involvement in the 2015 Party for the Parks! The event is hosted by the Charleston Parks Conservancy to raise money for our favorite public spaces. Foodies, caterers and restaurateurs will gather Saturday, November 14th in Cannon Park to eat, drink and make merry. Tickets (which are $85 in advance) include food, cocktails and live entertainment. Visit PartyForTheParks.com to learn more or to purchase your tickets. 

And now without further adieu, here is a sneak peak at our special menu…

MENU

Spiced Butternut Squash

It’s going to be tons of fun, and we hope to see you there!

One Last Look at Summer

As we gear up for fall weddings and the holiday party season, we wanted to give you one last glimpse of summer…

We had the pleasure of catering this bright and sunny wedding in June, and we loved every last detail.

 
This event (ceremony and reception) took place at Pepper Plantation in Awendaw, SC. Relish Distinctive Catering provided reception stations and day of coordination services. Please visit theweddingrow.com for a complete list of vendors who helped make this event a success.

A Lavish Charleston Wedding at Patriots Point

We had the pleasure of catering a lot of beautiful weddings this summer! Every event is special, and one of the best parts of our job is sharing those experiences with you. Today we’re divulging some details that are truly spectacular!
 
The following images (courtesy of Riverland Studios) are from a wedding at the Pavilion at Patriots Point. Vibrant and stylish, the celebration was a true reflection of the fun loving bride and groom. The waterfront ceremony and tented reception were elegantly decorated in shades of white and blue. Tall floral arrangements, special furniture, textured linens and colored lighting created a modern and whimsical atmosphere, while personal touches, like Korovai (Russian wedding bread), kept family traditions alive.

A lot of wonderful vendors collaborated on this event! If you would like to make them part of your wedding day dream team, please reference the links below.

Late Night Munchies

Charleston wedding goers certainly know how to party! Drinking and dancing ususally last late into the evening, and dinner is a distant memory to famished guests who haven’t eaten for four hours. Cake is a nice pick-me-up, but sometimes you just need some cheesy, greasy goodness in your life.
 
Ensure your guests make it to the after party with late night munchies! Our personal favorites include nachos, pizza bites, pimento cheese sandwiches and sliders…

Mini hot dogs or a chicken and waffle station are also fun options. 

Every couple is different, and every wedding should be unique! We would love to help you think outside the traditional plated dinner or buffet station. Schedule your complimentary consultation today!

The Charleston Bridal Show is July 26th

It's that time of year again! The Charleston Bridal Show will be held Sunday, July 26th at the Omar Shrine Center on Patriots Point Rd. in Mt. Pleasant. Admission is $10 at the door, and the event starts at 12:00pm. Please visit thecharlestonbridalshow.com for more details.
 
Representatives from Relish Distinctive Catering will be in attendance along with many of our favorite Charleston vendors. We hope to see you there!

Bridal Show Tips

1.  Search for local vendors online before the event, and make a list of anyone you would like to meet. Make notes about specific questions you would like to ask. 
 
2.  Bring a notebook to take notes while you are at the event. 
 
3.  Arrive early! Wedding planning is stressful enough. There’s no need to feel rushed. 
 
4.  Wear comfortable shoes! 
 
5.  Don’t be shy. Talking to vendors is often more telling than their website or marketing materials. A short conversation will likely reveal whether or not they are people you would like to work with. 
 
6.  Take plenty of photos. 
 
7.  Peruse booths in an organized fashion (up and down each row, from one side of the room to another) to ensure you see them all. 
 
8.  If you have already selected one or more of your vendors, ask them for referrals. 
 
9.  Keep handouts and other materials organized. Designate a special folder for your favorite vendors. 
 
10. Keep a checkbook or credit card handy in case you want to book a vendor or service at the event, but never cave to pushy sales techniques. 

Do you have any burning bridal show questions? You can reach a Charleston Bridal Show representative at 843-452-3950. Details are also available on their Facebook page, and you are more than welcome to email us before the event as well!

6 Ways to Save on Catering Services

Food and drinks are the quickest way to blow your wedding budget. After crunching the numbers, you may be ready to burn your guest list and elope… Yes, catering services are likely to make up at least 30% of your wedding expenses, but there are certainly ways to get more for your money. Here are a few of our favorite tips for keeping catering costs low…

1. Serve Hors D’Oerves by Hand

Cocktail hours are increasingly popular. It’s a great way to keep your guests busy while your bridal party takes pictures, but Grandpa Joe can’t drink on an empty stomach. We recommend passing out appetizers by hand rather than having guests serve themselves. Your guests are likely to eat 40% less with this method, and that’s okay! They should save some room for dinner anyway.

2. Get Creative with the Menu

There are creative ways to impress guests without blowing the budget. Want to serve seafood? Soup shooters may be a great alternative to a large (and more expensive) seafood display. A talented chef will be able to volunteer cost saving options (like a delicious sauce paired with a less expensive cut of meat) that won’t compromise guest experience.

3. Eliminate Extra Courses or Stations

Your guests just finished cocktails and appetizers, so a 5 course feast is completely unnecessary. Eliminate extra courses or stations if and when possible.

4. Save on the Bar Tab

Liquor is expensive, and you can save a lot by sticking to beer and wine. Keep the menu interesting with one or two signature cocktails. 

 
Signature cocktails save money, AND they are tons of fun!

5. Get an Accurate Guest Count

When you send out invitations, make sure your reply card has a return date of at least two or three weeks prior to your wedding. Call to follow up with guests who don’t send reply cards back. Over-ordering is the worst way to blow a catering budget! There’s no reason to pay for guests who won’t be attending.

6. Package Services to Save More

You can save even more money by taking advantage of packaged services. Planning more than one wedding weekend event? Relish Distinctive Catering offers a significant discount when you book multiple events. Best of all, packaged events don’t need to be wedding related… book a birthday party, catered company meeting or another event of your choosing. Contact us for more details!

Tips from a Charleston Wedding Photographer

Venue and catering choices usually top the wedding planning to-do list. As such, our team has an opportunity to discuss vendor options (for flowers, lighting, sound, photography and more) with couples early in the decision making process. We thoroughly enjoy the open dialogue... It helps us to better understand bride and groom preferences, and we can offer recommendations that make wedding planning (and the day-of details) easier. 
 
Photography is often a topic of conversation. There are plenty of talented Charleston photographers to choose from, but Richard Bell Photography is one of our all-time favorites. The company has a long history, lots of happy clients and a staff of “preposterously creative photographers.” 
 
We recently interviewed Owner and Photographer Nathan Bell because we want to ensure that our brides and grooms are expertly prepared for their wedding day photo shoot! Nathan had lots of great information for us, and here is some of what he had to share... 

Question: Should brides do a ton of research and provide their photographer with examples? 

Answer: I think it’s best for couples to find an artist who’s work they sincerely love, and then set that that artist free to create. A long list of required shots and poses is usually counterproductive to capturing the spontaneity of the day. Establish trust by doing an engagement session or bridal session before the wedding day -- this helps photographers and couples get to know each other better. 

Photo by Richard Bell Photography

Question: How do you come up with a game plan? 

Answer: We have multiple conversations with the bride and groom to go over timeline and locations. We also want to find out who are the important people in the lives of the couple -- parents, grandparents, godparents, siblings, nieces / nephews. 

Photo by Richard Bell Photography

Question: Are there important qualities that are often overlooked when choosing a photographer? 

Answer: Flexibility is important. Our photographers build timelines with lots of wiggle room, so that even if one part of the day runs late, we'll have plenty of time to make it up. We attempt to keep to the itinerary as closely as possible whenever we can control it, but timelines do, and should flex a bit throughout the day. Last weekend the reception had dancing scheduled with the band from 8:00 to 9:00 -- but sunset was just so beautiful that the bride and groom got all their friends and family together to go out to lounge and play lawn games during that last 30 minutes of daylight. That unscheduled little bit of the reception ended up being the bride and groom's favorite part of the entire day.

Photo by Richard Bell Photography

Question: Do certain times of day photograph better than others? Should couples consider this when selecting a ceremony time? 

Answer: A talented photographer can make any time of day look good in pictures. Bright daytime takes a different feel of picture than sunset or dusk, which feels different from evening and night shots. The characteristics of a venue play a big part in this as well. If it's a woodsy venue with tall trees -- sunset isn't going to be a particularly important moment. But on the beach or the marsh, sunset and dusk are significant. Plan the event according to how you want your day to flow, and work with your photographer to see how pictures best fit in that timeline. Working in the south, heat is often a bigger consideration than light. We can do nice pictures at noon in June... but it’s uncomfortable.

We’ve had a pleasure working with Nathan and his wife, Mell, on several occasions, and we look forward to working with them again soon!

Water View and Waterfront Venues in Charelston

Water is one of the most appealing aspects of Charleston’s landscape. The downtown peninsula boasts harbor views, and the surrounding area offers a mixture of marshlands, creeks, ponds, waterways and beaches. With all that water to choose from, it’s no wonder that venues with a view are popular among Charleston brides.

Magnolia Plantation, Photo by Studio 1250

Our Favorite “Water View” Venues

Here are just a few of our favorite waterfront and water view venues...

• Alhambra Hall
• Cooper River Room
• Island House
• Pepper Plantation
• Boone Hall Plantation
• Sand Dunes
• Harborside East
• Boals Farm
• Charleston Yacht Club
• Legare Waring House
• Runnymede Plantation
• Magnolia Plantation
• The Pavilion at Patriots Point (contact us for details)

Waterfront Venues with Benefits

We recently had the pleasure of catering a wedding reception at Alhambra Hall. It’s a great location with a beautiful waterfront ceremony lawn. Tables and chairs are included, and the venue allows for all-day set up (as early as 10am). The facilities have been recently renovated, and there is a kitchen on property. There is also plenty of parking available.

Every venue is unique, and our favorites (listed above) boast a variety of special features. Please feel free to contact us for a caterer’s perspective on a venue of your choosing.

Relish Distinctive Catering has exclusive relationships with three beautiful venues, but we are a preferred caterer for properties throughout the Lowcountry. When you choose Relish to cater your event; white linens, glassware, flatware and china are all included. Complimentary day-of coordination (including event set up and breakdown) is also available. Schedule a complimentary consultation to learn more about catering and coordination services.

Our Favorite Signature Cocktails

Food and music can make or break a reception, but bar service plays an important role too. Brides and grooms are often fearful that cutting back on the bar budget means dialing back on the party itself. A full bar is fun, but it can be expensive… Thankfully there is another option! Signature cocktails are a great way to minimize your liquor budget without sacrificing the fun factor.

St. Germain Cocktail

Seeking something sweet and springy? Try a “Hummingbird” (also known as the St. Germain Cocktail)…

• 2 parts champagne
• 2 parts club soda
• 1.5 parts St. Germain

Sangría Flora 

Sangria is another festive option, and it can be personalized (to taste or color scheme) with fruit choices.

• 1 bottle dry white wine
• 1 cup St. Germain
• 2 fresh peaches
• 5-6 fresh strawberries
• 6 fresh raspberries
• 1 bunch fresh grapes

Get the full recipe at WeddingChicks.com.

Fun, fruity and/or frilly cocktails are a big hit among the ladies, but we certainly don’t want to neglect the groom’s personal taste. Consider adding “his” (groom’s choice) and “hers” (bride’s choice) options to your drink menu.

But if you prefer to keep things simple, the following ideas are sure to please everyone on your guest list…

A Country Club Cocktail

Planning a country club wedding? Arnold Palmers are a subtle (and delicious) way to pay homage to your venue choice!

Arnold Palmer

• 2 parts Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka
• Lemonade

Our Favorite Charleston Country Clubs

RiverTowne Country Club (Home to an Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course)

Snee Farm Country Club

Champagne Mojito

Think all champagne cocktails are the same? Try a Champagne Mojito on for size!

• Mint leaves
• Freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 part simple syrup
• 1.5 parts rum
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 2 parts champagne or Prosecco, chilled

Get the full recipe at StyleMePretty.com.

Mint Julep

Mint Juleps are a Southern staple, and they’re perfect for daytime and/or outdoor weddings.

• 2 cups sugar (to make simple syrup)
• 2 cups water (to make simple syrup)
• Sprigs of fresh mint
• Crushed ice
• Early Times Kentucky Whisky

Get the full recipe at KentuckyDerby.com.

Mini Rum and Coke

Sometimes less is more! A miniaturized version is a memorable way to present a classic option that everyone will love.

Sweet Ideas for a Kid-Friendly Reception

Charleston wedding receptions have a tendency to be heavy on the sophistication (and adult beverages). As caterers and coordinators, we live for those things, but we also understand the importance of family too. We’ve put together a fun list of family friendly ideas for those of you who can’t imagine your special day without your favorite munchkins. 

Think Outside the Cake

Wedding cake is great, but sitting through a ceremony, first dance, toasts and a meal is an awfully long time for little ones to wait. Make other deserts available (like the milk and cookie bar featured below) that are sure to keep kids of all ages happy.

Milk and Cookie Bar by Relish Distinctive Catering

Keep the Kids Busy

Kids will be kids (especially after cookies and cake), so make sure they have something to do! We found some great tips on WouldntItBeLovely.com… 

• Play lawn games (a bean bag toss, corn hole, croquet or bocci ball).
• Create a kids table or corner with crayons, coloring books, games and snacks.
• Designate a baby sitter.

A Colorful Tented Reception

There are a lot of fun and elegant ways to add color to your reception space. Flowers are the most obvious choice, but the cost of floral arrangements adds up quickly. Colored linens can be fun, but they can also make a small space look busy. So what is a color-loving bride to do?

Opt for Paper Lanterns!

Paper lanterns introduce color and whimsy, while drawing your eye up. It’s the perfect addition to a tented reception, and they can be incorporated into an outdoor ceremony as well. These beautiful photos (provided by Riverland Studios) are from a Relish wedding at The Patriots Point Pavilion in Charleston, SC.
