Jennifer and Randy were married on October 24th, 2009 in the middle of a torrential downpour as friends, family, and their very cute Havanese dog, Milly, looked on. The extremely personal ceremony took place at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Philip Merrill Center, performed by well-known animator Kit Laybourn. The flowers were impeccable, by Multiflor (a District Favorite!)
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a six-course gourmet meal, prepared by Design Cuisine. Dancing and conversation followed as everyone enjoyed the amazing music performed by Aria Hendricks and her band.
I especially love how clear it is that Jennifer and Randy pored over the details of their event and used their unique skill set (her BA in Film at Bard College and an MFA in Film & Television from New York University and his MFA in Film & Television from New York University) to create a vision for their eclectic, woodsy wedding style which was executed with perfection by their team of wedding professionals.
The mixing and matching of china is fabulous!
In particular, the green elements were extremely important to Jennifer and Randy — guests were transported to and from CBF via shuttle, carbon offsets were purchased for the wedding and guests’ transportation, invitations were letter-pressed (a greener form of printing), all printed materials and packaging utilized recycled paper, there was minimal use of flowers (and use of flowers in season and local) and the food was organic and local wherever possible.
Congrats to Jennifer and Randy!

A little late start… I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! Ours was fantastic — though we are both woke up a little under the weather today. I’m curled up on the sofa with a blanket and a cup of hot tea…it is a great excuse to comb the internet for great wedding inspiration!
I wanted to get these photos to you as soon as I could, as I think they perfectly show why Design Cuisine is often rated the BEST catering firm in D.C.
Feast your eyes are these yummy creations…
Photo 1 – Amish Chicken (yum!)
Photo 2 – Soup & Sandwich (adorable!)
Photo 3 – White wedding cake with diamond design and gold accents (beautiful!)
Photo 4 – Sesame-crusted Crab Cakes with Wasabi Ailoi (tasty!)
Design Cuisine is known for its gorgeous presentation, as well as its delicious recipes. The team at Design Cuisine is highly knowledgeable and professional, not to mention incredibly creative! If you are looking for a caterer, I would highly recommend adding Design Cuisine to your list. Ask for Anna Bryan — she’s darling and so fun to work with!
