Danielle & Matthew

Oct 22, 20243 min read

When Danielle and Matthew tied the knot on September 19th, 2024, at the stunning The Chesapeake Event Home in Carova, NC, Red Sky Catering had the absolute pleasure of being a part of their celebration. It was a day filled with coastal elegance, personal touches, and delicious moments — and we kept the couple and their guests well-fed from start to finish.

Cocktail Hour Magic After the beachside ceremony, guests were invited to the decking for an unforgettable cocktail hour. Red Sky Catering served a perfect blend of flavors that reflected the Outer Banks' coastal charm and our commitment to fresh, local ingredients. Signature cocktails, including the ever-popular Moscow Mule, the smooth and decadent Espresso Martini, and a playful favorite, Friends with Wes, were a hit.

We had a variety of stations set up to keep things exciting — a fresh fruit station to cleanse the palate, a briny oyster station showcasing the local catch, and an adventurous octopus board for those craving something a little different. Alongside these stations, our team passed around beautifully crafted appetizers, giving guests a taste of what was to come.

The Couple's Board

We take great pride in ensuring our couples are well-fed, no matter how busy their day gets. After the ceremony, Chef Wes prepared a special board of appetizers for Danielle and Matthew, delivered right to them on the beach. This personal touch has become our signature — we know how hectic wedding days can be, and we want our couples to savor every bite of the fantastic food they hand-selected for their big day.

A Feast Under the Stars

As the sun set and the festivities moved into the pavilion at The Chesapeake for dinner and dancing, our team was already hard at work preparing the main event — the Chef's Boards that Red Sky Catering is known for. These boards are a feast for the senses, featuring a spread of local seafood, charcuterie, artisanal cheeses, and seasonal accompaniments, all beautifully arranged and perfectly timed for the evening's meal.

While Danielle and Matthew shared their first dance, and heartfelt speeches were made by family and friends, we started assembling these incredible boards. Even though night had fallen, it didn’t slow us down. Under the pavilion lights, our team delivered a visually stunning and mouthwatering array, just in time for the post-speech feast. And once again, Chef Wes had something extra special — a custom board prepared just for the bride and groom.

A Night to Remember

The night didn’t end there. As the stars came out, the dance floor came alive. The evening wrapped up with a lot of dancing, love, and happiness like we have never seen before. The joy on everyone’s faces was contagious, and the celebration carried on long into the night — the perfect ending to such a magical day.

This was one of the most exciting weddings we have catered to in 2024. Danielle and Matthew’s elevated, detail-rich wedding perfectly reflects their style and love for the Outer Banks, and we were honored to play such a pivotal role in their celebration. From the personalized service to the array of cocktail hour stations and the late-night Chef's Boards, this wedding was all about flavor, flair, and unforgettable moments.

At Red Sky Catering, we believe that every couple deserves more than just great food — they deserve a culinary experience that matches the significance of their special day. We loved being part of Danielle and Matthew’s wedding, and we can’t wait to bring our creative cuisine to more events just like this in the future!
