the coolest, coolest innovative way to create a cocktail hour that will surprise and delight your guests is to present them with a food and beverage pairing presented together.

At Epicure, we present large trays with “couples”; mini marguritas with little quesadilla cones; sushi and steamed dumplings with saki shots; chocolate truffles with small snifters of port; “slider” burgers with chilled beer shots. How fun is this? It also helps ease the crush at the bar, and give them all something exciting to talk about. (besides your wedding ceremony, done by your New Jersey Wedding Celebrant, of course….smooth, eh?)

This shouldn’t be a hard thing for your intrepid caterer or banquet hall to do, and what a style difference! These adorable little glasses are from www.Beau-coup.com, a wonderful source for innovative and imaginative favors.
