These jet-setting times are bringing people from all around the world to weddings right here in our lovely San Francisco Bay Area. Family and friends are traveling from their homes far away to be with their loved ones on their wedding day. This means lodging, dining, transportation and entertainment all need to be coordinated so your family feels welcome and can enjoy your home town and surrounding areas. After all, we live in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area, a world renowned tourist destination! You’re most likely working AND planning your wedding, so you have quite a schedule already going on, but it can be fun to make a plan for your out of town guests and hopefully you can join in on some of the destinations! Here’s a simple guideline to making your plan.
1. Transportation from/to and in between. Be sure accommodations to pick up your guests at the airport and get them to their hotel are set in stone and they all have a way to reach you should something go awry. We believe in plan B at all times. Just check with a friend to be sure someone is around just in case the limo isn’t there. Then, give your guests options on how to get around while you’re at work or doing wedding planning tasks. If loaning your car, be sure they have the proper license and location of insurance, DMV papers, etc. Better to be prepared, right?
2. If you are working, be sure to let your guests know that you may not be accompanying them on all the events you’ve planned. It’s important for people such as parents and grandparents that are coming in from a foreign country, to have a guide and/or interpreter, to help them feel at ease and have fun.
3. There are many tour groups that offer different types of events in our area; such as, www.winecountrytourshuttle.com for a beautiful wine/food tour in the Napa area; www.avitaltours.com for a fun food tour in San Francisco (this one requires walking); www.allsanfranciscotours.com for tours of the famed Alcatraz, Fisherman’s Wharf, Union Square, and the newly renovated Presidio buildings with the Walt Disney Museum and much more! And don’t forget a local Giants or A’s game if it’s during baseball season and our world renowned concert venues like the Oakland Fox and the Paramount Theater! Also check out the visitor’s bureaus for tons of information on local happenings, including lodging and more, at www.visitoakland.org.
4. Your guests have had a fun day out on the town and they’re back and ready to meet for dinner. What’s your plan? Living in this wonderful foodie area, you’ve probably scoped out some great places to gather. It’s a good idea to make a reservation as far in advance as possible as the good ones are usually booked up. Also let the restaurant know if you have any guests that have special needs diets, (vegan, gluten free, etc.) and if you’ll be picking up the tab. There are cultures that are not used to our casual way of doing things and it’s nice to avoid the look of horror on dad’s face when the bill is handed to him. Family style dining works well for visiting groups when you don’t know who will eat what. There are a few entrees and lots of sides so everyone can pick what they want. And it creates great conversation!
5. Plan for everything. Have some umbrellas, sunscreen, small purse, bag or backpack, maps, binoculars, chargers for phones, at the ready. I even keep a little first aid kit in my purse with ibuprofen, bandaids, lotions, tweezers, and things like that with me as travelers often have them stashed away and they don’t bring them on their daily outings. Check weather the day before to be sure they’re not set up for an outdoor day on the bay and the weather looks daunting at best. Comfort is good, especially when you’re thousands of miles from home.
6. Last but not least, don’t forget about your guests the day after your wedding! You’re happy, you’re tired, and you still have 13 family and friends that are wondering what’s next? Well, if you’re not jetting off to your honeymoon just yet, it’s nice to have an easy, casual brunch the next day in the late morning. Try to be sure they have some type of food to sustain them at their hotels for the early eaters and then plan to meet at a house or restaurant for brunch around noon. Then, you can give them a free afternoon/evening and get them back to the airport on Monday, happy and full of fun memories thanks to you!
Feel free to ask us about our favorite tours, lodging, and more!
Ciao!

Everyone loves to talk about dessert but not everyone likes to talk about traditional wedding cakes. Weddings have taken on a world of their own in the last year or so and there’s not too many weddings that are following tradition as we know it. One of the most traditional parts of the reception that our couples aren’t exactly in love with is the wedding cake. The standard tiered cake with buttercream icing or fondant isn’t the first choice anymore. But not to fret! There are endless desserts to wow your guests that you’ll love to eat too! To be perfectly clear, we still love wedding cakes in all their splendid glory – and we have seen some gorgeous designs lately so that is definitely always an option. We are also excited about these fun ideas!
• S’mores Bar! The new country rustic style wedding shouts campfire and outdoor activities! We even have an upcoming wedding where they will actually give out custom skewers as favors. The guests will hang out around the fire pit later in the evening to get warm and cozy and toast square vanilla bean marshmallows. Then they will ever so carefully place them on a house made graham cracker and choose from a selection of candy bars to melt inside the “sandwich”. Peanut butter cups, Heath bar, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, Mounds bar and so many more you won’t believe it!
• Gelato (or Fro Yo) Bar! What could be more fun than your guests being served from an ice cream cart? Popular choices are organic gelato – we love www.cafescooteria.com – yes, a scooter with an ice cream freezer on it, Frozen Yogurt (hence, fro yo), and our own San Francisco delight – It’s It Bars! Toppings are a hit, even those colorful sprinkles that you can get to match your color theme. Yum!
• Pies! Yes – this is a huge trend right now! Why? Because people LOVE pies! It’s comfort food at it’s finest! Our favorites? Pietisserie – www.pietisserie.com; Mission Pie – www.missionpie.com (vegan apple ginger is delish); and our neighborhood bakery – Montclair Baking – www.montclairbaking.com. Even though it’s not a pie, this is our absolute favorite cheesecake place – Zanze’s Cheesecake on Ocean Avenue in San Francisco! Our last couple even had whipped cream cans on the pie table so everyone could top their own. What fun!
• Cinnamon Buns! This is a new one and we want to share because who doesn’t love cinnamon buns? The scent alone would have your guests dreaming of dessert while they’re on the dance floor. Berkeley’s own Cinnaholic – www.cinnaholic.com is a vegan cinnamon bun bakery that does amazing frosting flavors and toppings. Cream soda frosting? We’ll take two!
• Candy Buffets and Dessert Bars! Or both! Why not? The fun part of this type of wedding dessert is the choices you can offer your guests. It’s so fun to choose the different style jars and dress them up with ribbon. Our favorite is different sized mason jars. Having a pretty candy buffet set up with small cute bags and silver scoops offers everyone’s favorite sweets and adds fun color to the room. Dessert bars offer a tantalizing display of tartlets, petit fours, old fashioned cookies, mini cupcakes, individual mini pie slices and tiramisu or berry trifle. It's interactive and gets your sugar high going fast!
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding – we wish you a sweet day!

We’ve been asked that a lot lately. It seems everyone has gotten so busy there’s barely time to plan a wedding. While there’s no rule of thumb, there are advantages to planning early, late, and right on time. What is right on time? Well, usually it’s what you and your partner have decided will work best for your life schedule. Here are a few scenarios that may help you decide on your date.
• We meet a lot of couples who are both in grad school, getting ready to study for and take the bar, are moving either back to the Bay Area or out of the Bay Area and are just buying their first home. All of these are important life events that would be something you want to work around when planning your wedding date.
• There are venues that book solid a year in advance. If you’ve got your heart set on a Saturday in September, which is wildly popular in the Bay Area due to weather and people being back from vacations, at a beautiful and popular venue such as the EBRPD Brazil Room, www.ebparks.org, you will need to plan a year in advance, or more.
• If having your closest family and friends who live on the other side of the world attend your wedding is most important to you, then check with them for their availability first so you can be sure they can make the trip. It’s also a good idea to check with everyone who will be in the wedding party to be sure they are available too!
• Another item of importance is money. If you need to save money to pay for your wedding yourselves, make a plan and see how long it will take you to comfortably save enough money so you don’t have to go in debt. Usually a year or a year and a half works for most of our couples. It’s a time to make plans and save money and feel at ease with your life situation when your wedding day arrives. Most caterers and other wedding vendors require a small deposit and then payments along the planning path to make it easier for you.
Congratulations on your engagement! Next step? Get your date planned and it’ll all fall into place from there!
Cheers to you!

Today’s Brides are looking for personal touches to set apart their weddings. They’re looking for something very different from the many weddings their guests have been to in the last few years. Something more than just a color scheme. Something exciting! That’s where the idea of themed weddings comes in.
How do you choose your wedding theme?
Well, you could start with your favorite thing to do with your partner or fiancé. What do you like to do together when you have a day off? Take a few minutes to talk between the two of you about what is most important to you both. . .do you get antsy waiting for opening day at the ball park? You might choose a baseball theme. Do you love to hold hands and ride the fastest roller coaster at the amusement park? What about a boardwalk theme? Are you obsessed with Merlin? Magic themed weddings are so much fun! Do you both just adore spending time with your furry kitty and puppy? This theme has been carried all the way to having the cute little critters in your ceremony! How about travelling? Your favorite destination? Travel and airport themes are popular, and can be carried out in many different ways. Then there’s the natural beauty of the San Francisco Bay Area; the beach, the mountains, large country estates, classic cars and art deco museums. There’s a new trend of vintage elegance, 60’s mad men, high teas and bbq’s in a barn. There are an unlimited number of ideas and you may even find something you two love to do that you didn’t even realize! Once you’ve picked your theme, it’s a lot easier to coordinate the venue, invitations, styling, favors, flowers, dresses, menu, music and more. Some local venues are great for themed weddings, Lawrence Hall of Science, where you can match your theme to their exhibits and your guests can explore every exhibit – www.lawrencehallofscience.org Dunsmuir Hellman Historic Estate - www.dunsmuir-hellman.com is perfect for a vintage tea party or a brunch on the meadow in front of the mansion. The Los Altos History Museum – www.losaltoshistory.org also has exhibits indoors that guests can peruse as well as an outdoor space that lends itself to country rustic events, with antique tractors and a water tower and even a farm house that you can tour during the wedding reception! Here are some pictures of a baseball themed wedding at the Presidio Golden Gate Club - www.presidio.gov/venues/Pages/Golden-Gate-Club where the centerpieces were baseballs in glass vases, peanuts were in trays with “tickets” that had guest’s seat assignments on them and colors were from the bride’s favorite teams – Boston and San Francisco. They even planned an outing to a Giants game for guests who were staying in town for a few days. Super fun for everyone!!
For us, planning a themed wedding or event is nearly more exciting than the wedding itself. From the save the date card design to the favors, it’s a fun journey knowing it’s bringing together the passions of the couple and finding creative ways to share it with their guests.
Now, what’s your theme going to be?
Congratulations!

Hi Friends!
We recently read a blog about what questions are most asked when that first contact comes in to a caterer about a wedding. The answer is “What’s your price? “or “How much will I spend?”. It piqued our interest because it stated that the question involves a lot more than getting the best price and it is a natural segue to starting the conversation about the scope of the caterer’s services. So, we thought we’d give you a guide to getting the information you need from the list of caterers you’ll be calling or emailing. This isn’t your everyday guide that you’ll see on the Knot or Martha Stewart Weddings ~ those questions are easy to find answers to. This is a guide to get your mind around what you want and need from your caterer and how to find out if they’ll provide that for you according to YOUR wishes, no matter how outside the box your wedding plans may be.
Sure, we have letters we send out giving price ranges at different venues and advising the sequence of events that will lead to your hiring of our services and beyond that. So, when you call us, we’ll be happy to quote you a rough price based on the information you give us, but that’s not what you want (really). You want to connect with your caterer. Conversation is the key to transferring your vision to the caterer so they can; first, tell you if it’s possible, and second, talk with you about all that is involved in making that vision happen. Only then, can an exact price be quoted. So, it’s kind of putting the cart before the horse (to quote an old saying) because everything else needs to be discussed and brainstormed before a price can even begin to be set.
Which brings us to how to call a caterer and get the answers you want. Well, it’s our job to educate you about what you need from us to make your decision. We want to know you, what you have thought about for your wedding, and what is the absolute most important thing about your big day to you and your partner or fiancé. That gives us an idea about whether you want extra time to dance the night away, or you want the meal to be family style so people will sit and talk and linger over their dinner and during the toasts. When we have that idea, along with some other minor details, such as what type of bar set up you’d like and if you’d like an espresso bar or a candy buffet, for instance, then you can get your answer to the initial cost question. If time allows, make an appointment and meet the caterer in person to go over these details. Even in the age of digital communications, it’s very hard to convey your creative, emotional wedding day via computer and/or phone. We often sit down with our clients over coffee and start talking about wedding design and they refer to their clothing or jewelry or something they’ve brought with them that sparked their ideas for color and floral and even menu design.
In summary, if you know what you want, then ask about it. What is important to you is what is important to everyone who will be involved in your wedding day. Ask for everything you want, get a cost for it and then if the budget is tighter than you thought, discuss options with your caterer.
Congratulations to all who are marrying in 2013!!
Love,
The Blue Heron Team
That sounds like a personal question, and it can be. . .yet it’s an important one. In a corporate setting, you are trusted with hiring a caterer and other vendors who will carry out your (and your boss’s) vision for their event, so it can’t be just anyone. For your wedding, you want to know who will run your day, feed your guests, pour the champagne on time, handle those little emergencies. Here’s some helpful tips for knowing who you’re dealing with and being able to relax and be assured they will deliver on their promises.
1. We firmly believe that there is a connection between you and your catering manager. When you meet him or her, you will either feel comfortable or you won’t. You will want to trust your instincts to tell you if this person is knowledgeable, personable and honest. If you can’t believe what they’re telling you, then you’ll be wondering until the day of your event if you’re going to get what you ordered.
2. Do your due diligence. There’s so many great ways to do a simple “background” check on a vendor. Ask for a few referrals from recent events, especially events that had around the same number of guests and was held at the same venue as yours. Check Yelp reviews (although this is sketchy at times). Just a side note about Yelp - if a Yelp review is 2 stars and the other 15 reviews are 5 stars, check the person’s credibility by looking at other reviews they’ve written. Chances are good that they write bad reviews a lot so theirs is not the review to trust. Ask about where the vendors advertise – do they have a Facebook page you can like? See who else likes them on Facebook. This is a great place to see their events and who they connect with on social media sites. Also ask what other business review sites they are on; such as www.weddingwire.com, www.herecomestheguide.com, www.avoteandavow.com and many others. These sites require solid client reviews and legitimate business credentials to be on them. Sites like the Better Business Bureau are only as good as the checks they receive in the mail. If you don’t pay for a membership, they don’t rate you well. Sad but true.
3. Ask about the process, the journey, from the first meeting and contract signing until the end of your event. How many times will you meet? Will the vendor come to you? Will they do a site visit and go over details with you and the site manager? Will they welcome your boss or committee, or both sets of parents to attend a tasting and/or site meeting? Will you hear from them often and do they respond to your questions in a timely manner? We like to meet with our clients once for the meeting, once for the tasting and then the site visit and the wrap up meeting to finalize all the details. By the last meeting, you’ll likely feel very confident that your event will be executed perfectly.
4. Don’t feel shy about asking for licenses (health department), insurance certificates, photos of events, even a history of the company. There’s usually an interesting short story behind the business and it certainly helps to ease your fears when you’re looking at a vendor you haven’t used before.
5. Finally, just have good old conversation about a few events they have done. Be yourself. Ask about how their events flow. Ask what their favorite events that are similar to yours have been and why. If a vendor is passionate about what they do, it’ll shine through when they talk about their successes. It’s always fun to ask if they’ve had any disasters and how they’ve handled them too.
In summary, this seems like a lot to think about, but really, it’s not a time consuming process, and it gives you confidence in your decisions regarding your event and allows you to focus on the ever important guest list and other tasks.
Happy Planning!

When I think back to my own wedding, the most important part of all the planning was who to invite to be in my wedding party. My husband and I were very social and worried about who would be hurt if they weren’t invited, yet we wanted our closest, most trusted friends and family to be a part of the entire planning process. The guests have a great time at the ceremony and reception, but the wedding party “builds” the wedding from start to finish, which makes it an accomplishment of teamwork that brings you all even closer. Here’s a few tips to choosing your wedding team.
Maid of Honor:
Sisters are a must, unless there’s a possibility of a showdown at the wedding because of a past rift or you just don’t get along with each other. It’s important to include your fiance’s sister (s) also as it makes for great in-law relations! If you’ve only got brothers in your families, then take a good look at who is by your side at your best AND worst moments. Who calls you just to tell you they’re thinking about you and wondering if you’re doing ok. Who do you call when you need advice or someone to come over and listen to you. That’s the person you want as your maid of honor. She will be planning your events leading up to your wedding. She’ll be scheduling your fittings, showers and dinners. She’ll give a toast to you and your new husband or partner and she’ll be sure you feel supported when you say “I do”. She’ll make sure you eat at your wedding reception and she’ll have that ever important emergency kit with safety pins, maybe a flask, and touch up make up, nail polish, hairspray and ibuprofen. When choosing your Maid/Matron of Honor, keep in mind that she probably should be an organized person so she can handle the job.
Bridesmaids:
No drama! That’s right. . .when choosing your bridesmaids, don’t choose any friends that are drama queens or are needy every step of the way. Negative, argument prone girls do not play well with others and will give you more stress than you need, so plan accordingly. The rule is 1 bridesmaid and groomsman to 50 guests, but the team should be as large or small as your list of close friends and sisters/cousins. It does get more expensive when there’s more gifts to buy, meals to buy and space at the dinners, etc., so remember that part. These girls will be buying their own dresses, shoes, airfare and more, so be fair when inviting them to be your bridesmaid. If you don’t think they can afford this and you can’t either, maybe it would be best if they were a guest.
The Best Man:
Brother, brother, brother. Your brother, your fiance’s brother. . .yes – they would be first choice. After that, your best friend. Who supports you through thick and thin? Who gets along famously with your fiancé and won’t be too drunk at your reception so he can give a heartfelt toast without embarrassing you? He will be in charge of the groomsmen, planning bachelor events, toasts, rings and making sure you make it through the “I Do” part.
Groomsmen:
Again, brothers are first, cousins that are very close would be second and best friends would follow. This is your team that will go everywhere with you and do everything with you that involves your wedding. It’s very much the same for choosing the groomsmen as choosing the bridesmaids. It’s a good idea to have an equal number on each side, too, although it’s not absolutely necessary.
Flower Girl/Ring Bearer:
The adorable children that run the other way during ceremonies, cry and throw down the ring pillow, say silly things during the ceremony – these are usually nieces, nephews, friends' children or even your own children (yes, that happens). They’re usually between 3 and 6 years old and if they are complete little devils, probably should choose elsewhere .
So, there’s your team! It takes time, thought and some brainstorming with you and your fiancé, but it’s worth it because you’ll not only be spending a lot of time with them, but also leaning on them a lot during your wedding planning.
Congratulations!

Hello All!!
The answer is YES! You CAN have your wedding reception without the added expense and liability of alcohol! It’s a new trend and it’s catching on fast, (to the chagrin of the big beverage companies). Here’s some fun ideas to add pizzazz to your reception and save you hundreds of dollars and a lot of worry!
*Sparkling Juice Bar – have some fun on your days off searching local boutique markets for small batch sparkling juices. You can find seasonal juices with a touch of bubbles; such as, blood orange, summer peach, meyer lemon, key lime and even pomegranate. Add some fresh berries and it’s a beverage wonderland.
*Hot Beverage Bar – it’s a Winter favorite – or Spring, or any time of year for an evening celebration! A hot chocolate bar with toppings like artisan mini marshmallows, colorful sprinkles, cinnamon sticks, whipped cream – endless possibilities! Add hot apple cider or an artisan tea selection with funky tea pots that guests can take to the table (and even take home for a favor) with local flavored honeys. It’s fun to offer Foamy steamed milk to your hot beverage selection. Add a selection of flavoried syrups – French vanilla, hazelnut, mint, almond - (there’s over 300 flavors) and a rock candy swizzle stick to top it off perfectly!
*Mocktails – just like it sounds – are cocktails without the booze. Cosmos, lemon drops, mint juleps, mojitos, pina coladas and margaritas are just a few. Served in martini glasses, these colorful beverages give guests the feel of a cocktail party and no one gets sleepy!
*Italian Soda Bar – Try club soda with a selection of Torani flavors or your own freshly infused flavored simple syrup with exciting garnishes and fun party toothpicks. Lime, lemon, orange wedges, raspberries and blueberries dusted with gold are just a few fun ideas.
*Boutique Soda Selection - Our favorite is the soda selection with small batch crème soda, root beer, ginger beer, orange soda and key lime soda, among many others. There’s even a local company in Berkeley, www.winecountrysodas.com, that offers sodas made from different grapes – zinfandel and chardonnay, for instance, and there’s NO alcohol in them AND they’re delish!
So, if you’ve reason to stay away from alcohol because of personal preference, family and/or friends that are recovering alcoholics, budget, worry over friends and family driving after the reception, then consider these fun ideas and enjoy your big day alcohol free!!

Hello Friends!
Our couples always ask which is better, a buffet dinner or a sit down dinner. You’ve probably been to several weddings in the last few years and you’ve loathed the line at the buffet, or have you? I happen to love standing in line because I get to know people that aren’t necessarily seated at my table or near me. Then again, I have friends who will absolutely not stand in a line, even if it means not eating. The classic sit down dinner reception has been known to have a stuffy feel to it. . .you’re stuck. . .you get what they serve you and exactly how much they serve you. . .you might be the last table served and you want to get up and roam around but you’re afraid you’ll miss your meal. Let’s list some pros and cons that will hopefully help you decide.
Five Pros of Buffet Style Dinner
1. Guests get a variety of foods and can choose to take more of something they love and less of something they don’t love and they can go up for seconds!!
2. Getting up to get your dinner gives guests a chance to move around the room and not feel stuck with the guests at their table (which may or may not be a good thing).
3. Buffet style dinner costs quite a bit less than sit-down style service due to less plate ware and service staff.
4. A buffet can be a beautiful center of the room. With gorgeous linens, floral arrangement, lighting and design, it can create quite a conversation, even among the shyest guests.
5. Food is always hot on a buffet. Have you been to sit down dinners where the service was slow so your dinner was less than hot when it arrived at your seat? This wouldn’t happen with Blue Heron, of course, but it does happen and the buffet style service assures hot foods at all times.
Five Cons of Buffet Style Dinner
1. The famous line. . .here we are again talking about the line. Some couples just don’t want a line at their reception. While the line can be avoided by dismissing tables one at a time and taking a few minutes in between each one, everyone has probably had a bad buffet line experience and that sticks with some guests forever.
2. It takes more room at the venue. If you’re having the maximum number of tables/guests at your wedding reception, you might not have space for a large buffet. It may be your best choice to have a sit down served dinner and not deal with putting the buffet on the dance floor and moving it after dinner.
3. Mom, Dad and Grandparents are often not fond of buffets. They want the classic sit down service because it evokes a feeling of expensive elegance that they want the guests to experience. The younger couples are happy standing next to the guests in the buffet line and creating a cocktail party flow, yet the older crowd doesn’t agree.
4. It’s pretty when it’s just starting. . .The fourth table to go through the line doesn’t get to experience the beauty of the food displays as they were for the first and second tables. They do get messy and even though we do continually clean and replenish on our buffets, there are those occasional spills that just might splatter on the guest across the buffet table.
5. Going up for seconds when the toast is happening. There are those guests who, even though there is an emotional, heartstring pulling toast being delivered by dad or best friend, they will get up and go back for seconds (and thirds) and almost always will accidentally drop the tongs and get the entire room to look back at the buffet.
Well, these are just a few of the fun things to consider when discussing what type of service you’ll have at your wedding. Of course, your caterer will gently guide you and give you additional great ideas too!

After 20 plus years in the wedding business, we recently were asked a question we'd never been asked before, "what is the most overlooked thing at a wedding?". We admit we couldn’t answer right away so we deferred to our event manager and she knew immediately what the answer was. “The couple who are getting married, who are throwing this beautiful party for their friends and family, who have spent the last year planning and making sure everyone will have the time of their lives at their wedding – they are often overlooked.” Our lovely couples tell us they won’t have time to eat so they want the menu to be what the guests want and not necessarily foods they love or even like. They put the guests before their own wants and needs on their own wedding day. Couples have even asked if we think their guests will sit through their vows because they are a little wordy. Vows are all about your love, how you plan to be together in your marriage. Your pledge to each other is being announced to your entire guest list. . .everyone you know and love. Trust these close friends and family to listen to and embrace whatever you want to say to your new life partner. You’ve made them part of the most important day of your life and they are excited that you did. If your vows are 5 minutes or 30 minutes, that’s your choice. It’s YOUR day! After planning your wedding over the last several months, you have everything ready and double checked. So when it’s time for your ceremony and your reception, leave the plans to the planner, caterer, musicians, etc. Let go of worry about who will have fun and who won’t and be in the moment. We love it when the newly married couples take a 10 minute retreat to gather thoughts, talk about the ceremony, have a bite to eat and prepare for the reception, together. It’s your first hour as a married couple – why not have some special moments just for yourselves? Then, it’s time to be your own guest at your wedding. . .eat the appetizers, dance when you feel like it, savor the flavors of the menu you so carefully chose, enjoy the hours the way you want to, with each other, your family and your friends. And most importantly, be the stars today. . .it’s YOUR big day!! Congratulations!
Until We Eat Again,
The Blue Heron Team
