Nikkiah & Jeffrey - October 22, 2011

A dozen bridal open houses, 5-year anniversary event for our business, two proms, two holiday parties, Destination Imagination, Honda Hoot, March of Dimes Signature Chefs charity event, several birthday parties and corporate events, and 26 weddings...what a crazy year it has been for Marble Slab Creamery!

As we're wrapping up this year, it's my pleasure to feature our last wedding of 2011 and a very nice couple, Nikkiah and Jeffrey, who celebrated at Fox Den Country Club on October 22.

Nikkiah and Jeffrey, graduates of The University of Tennessee, live and work in the Washington, D.C. area and met through UT's Young Alumni Association in the Capitol. Funny how it is that you can be in the same town for four years and never meet until you move away!

Nikkiah attended one of the open house events in Knoxville this Spring, and after returning to D.C. decided that our Portable Slab would be awesome as Jeffrey's groom's cake. The portable slab was set up in the parlor at Fox Den (notice the "Fox Den" painting).  


It's sometimes difficult to make a decision when there are so many yummy choices!



The menu included four of our most popular ice cream flavors--Vanilla, Cheesecake, Sweet Cream, and Chocolate Swiss--along with fresh strawberries and other sweet and crunchy mixins.

Part of the fun with Marble Slab Creamery's portable slab catering is not only choosing your combination, but also watching your ice cream dessert being blended on our frozen slab.

Jeffrey is saying, "I don't know about you, but I'm having Sweet Cream!"

A BIG thank you goes out to our friends Sandy and Ira Smith of Moonlight Photographic for these images. Over the past two years we've been getting acquainted with this husband and wife team through the Association of Bridal Consultants and other networking groups, and finally we had the pleasure of working together! It was also a pleasure working with Julie Limbaugh, events coordinator at Fox Den Country Club. (By the way, she hired us on the spot to cater her son's birthday party the next month. Awesome!)

So what's coming up for 2012? Well, as of today we've already booked nine 2012 weddings, so we're thinking it's time to slow down a bit, enjoy the holidays, and get geared up for another busy year!
