One look at the Thomas Bennett House and there are no questions why a couple would want to host their Charleston wedding there. With its beautifully landscaped gardens to its magnificently historic home, this venue does not disappoint. Brick Lane Catering had the opportunity to cater a wedding for an amazing couple and work side by side with the talented Megan from Mingle Charleston. The evening started with the ceremony in front of the home, then guests moved into the house for cocktails and passed bites and the evening continued on the side lawn where guest enjoyed 5 Small Plate Stations and dancing. From the stunning Seafood Display with Charleston Pickled Shrimp and Cold Water Oysters on the Half Shell to the Chicken & Grits, the couple wanted to offer their guests southern food with lots of mouthwatering seafood. Hyer Images was kind enough to share these catering shots with us but also check out the blog post on the wonderful Borrowed & Blue
