Claire & Mitch at Belle Haven

Claire Mitchell & Mitchell Roessing
Belle Haven on the James
June 14, 2014


Claire & Mitch's Belle Haven wedding showcased the beauty of summer! The whole wedding had a beautiful, Southern grace feel to it with the color palette and menu that Claire & Mitch chose. It was a lot of fun and overall a very warm and inviting wedding reception.


The groom designed and hand lettered their entire paper suite!


Menu
cocktail hour: 
pork belly blt
sausage stuffed mushrooms
tempura shrimp
ahi tuna poke
arancini
fresh balsamic roasted fig
caprese bites
vol au vent


Moonshine cocktails were a huge part of this wedding reception. The groom, Mitch, is from West Virginia so the moonshine and pork belly sandwiches were a great way to pay homage to his home state.



dinner: 
peach & field greens
artisan bread basket
grilled beef tenderloin with potato gratin & fresh grilled asparagus
pan seared monkfish with tomato-mascarpone risotto & shallot-basil relish
parmesan risotto with roasted figs & grilled asparagus


Claire & Mitch were one of our first couples to really dive into the fun and deliciousness that monkfish has to offer, so creating that dish with its complementing side dishes was a lot of fun for Walter and allowed his creativity to be expressed in their menu.


dessert: 
pie and cobbler bar - peach crisp, blueberry cobbler & strawberry rhubarb pie

  1. Claire & Mitch at Belle Haven!! What a beautiful wedding and the location is spectacular. All of the set up has taken my heart away. This couple had an enchanting ceremony, exactly how I have dreamed of. Even I would be marrying soon at one of the event halls for rent so would like to incorporate some of the décor ideas from this couple’s big day.
