The Marks' rehearsal dinner, held on June 12th at their home in Gainesville, was a festive affair with orange and blue Gator décor from floor to ceiling.
Large tents from Party Time Rentals held the UF inspired tables to seat the 110 guests- definitely the largest rehearsal dinner I've ever done! The wedding itself had over 300 guests! Although it was quite warm outside, we didn't have a drop of rain and didn't see one mosquito! That's all we could ask for this outdoor party!
Mi Apa catered delicious food that was presented with floral decorations carved out of peppers. Not only was the food aesthetically pleasing, but delicious too! The menu consisted of pork (cooked by Cristina's family), black beans, white rice, sweet plantains, stuffed potato balls, and even some Chick-fil-a chicken nuggets for the kids. Since Cristina's family is Cuban, everyone loved the authentic hispanic food.
The dessert table featured several kinds of homemade baked goods along with a cake from Publix sporting a bride and groom gator on top. Cakes by Jenny provided delicious mini-cupcakes with orange and blue icing. Mi Apa also catered some cuban pastries- filled with coconut and guava. Yum!
In addition to being almost as elaborate as a wedding reception, this rehearsal dinner was vibrant, fun, and classy. I had so much fun getting to know the Marks family and I wish the best of luck to Stevie and Cristina in their new journey together!
