Lauren and Brian’s wedding at Cafe Brauer was a winter wonderland of hanging orchids and candelight. Sugared pears acted as the placecard as guests arrived in the Great Hall. Guests found their seats for the ceremony and then moved to the Loggia for martinis and hors d’houevres.
The guests feasted from different food stations: a seafood bar, a pasta station, a carving station with turkey and tenderloin and a mashed potato bar with different toppings such as shredded cheese, scallions and bacon.
After Lauren and Brian cut their wedding cake, their guests danced late into the evening to the music of Lynne Jordan and the Shivers
