In addition to prosecco & mineral water, our staff served a variety of delicious hors d’oeuvres.  The menu included mini yorkshire puddings with roasted field mushrooms; creamy tomato soup served in espresso cups; and plump shrimp wrapped in kadaifi crust.  We were thrilled to have an incredible cappuccino station from the Gourmet Beverage Company, and Chef provided platters (upon platters!) of freshly baked biscotti, mini mousse cakes, and chocolate-dipped strawberries to accompany the delicious hot drinks.
