Kosher Wedding Reception with Double-Sided Carving Station at Callanwolde

When planning a kosher wedding at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, a couple envisioned a celebration that honored their traditions while offering guests culinary sophistication and variety. The double-sided carving station combined with a chef-attended sushi bar, Mediterranean salad, and diverse dessert options created an experience that felt both refined and genuinely welcoming.

A Collaborative Celebration

This wedding brought together an exceptional team of vendors working in coordination. Sarah Folsom Photography captured every moment, while Smooth as Butter Weddings managed planning and videography. Ornate Events created stunning florals, and I Do Linens provided elegant linens. Aaron Kohl provided ceremony music, and Papa Sol Band kept the celebration’s energy perfect throughout the evening.

Atlanta Dance Floors created a beautiful stage and dance floor, while Vigilante Cosmetics handled hair and makeup, and East Cobb Chabad’s Rabbi Ephraim Silverman officiated. Avenue Kosher Catering, through Saratoga Event Group, provided sophisticated kosher cuisine that honored dietary requirements without compromising culinary excellence.

Cocktail Hour

The evening opened with passed hors d’oeuvres: crispy chicken yakitori with miso dipping sauce, brewpub franks with spicy porter beer mustard, potato perogies, and wild mushroom canapés. These diverse bites immediately signaled the culinary sophistication to come.

Multi-Station Reception

The Gourmet Station

A chef-attended sushi station with elaborate preparations, hamburger sliders, and fried green tomatoes offered variety and engagement. Guests watched skilled preparation while selecting their preferences.

Pre-Set Salad

Each table received a Mediterranean salad with chickpeas, arugula, cherry tomatoes, red onion, kalamata olives, and red wine vinaigrette, plus bread and margarine.

Double-Sided Carving Station

The centerpiece of the reception featured skilled carvers preparing herb roasted turkey breast and London broil with bordelaise sauce. Tuscan lemon chicken piccata, rigatoni a la vodka, roasted potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables, and moo shu chicken pancakes completed the buffet.

Double-sided carving stations create refined, theatrical service. Two stations mean shorter lines and more engagement—guests watch skilled carvers work while maintaining natural flow.

Dessert Station

The celebration concluded with flourless chocolate torte, apple crisp with pareve whipped cream, cappuccino brownie tower, carrot cake cupcakes, and homemade pecan tarts. These diverse options honored kosher specifications while providing genuine variety.
