I opened up the white envelope and started reading My wife and I had been invited to a wedding, the first of the season. Our friends Maroun and Lara had decided to share their joy with us in an unusual location, taking us on a trip down memory lane. Until now, I had decided to review only one wedding on NGNO , the one held at Chateau Rweiss last year , a wedding that amazed me enough to label it "The wedding of the year".
A coincidence maybe, but what was, in my opinion, 's wedding of the year, was catered by Faqra Catering, as was this event. A team of valets took the cars away and we walked down the aisle to the welcome drink area. I anticipated being amazed and so I decided to take my camera with me I'm glad I did. We walk into the wedding spaceβ¦Old houses, trees, stones, metallic structures A large square area was covered with white curtains, hiding the train station.
The setup was so enchanting, with its red colors, wine barrels and vintage items taking you back down memory lane to when passengers still filled up the nooks and crannies of this station. A fanfare announced the start and while music played, the white curtains started going, slowly up revealing the amazing setup behind. Maroun and Lara set up their wedding in the heart of the train station surrounded by old trains on one side along with the old water tank, and on the other side the old locomotives many guests had used at least once in their life.
What an enchanting ambiance. Red and violet lights followed by yellow I loved the table setup, the black designer chairs, the black placemats, the fine silver cutlery and the thin crystal wine glasses.
They even started with a short movie of their wedding in Paris. A state of the art animation and editing that made our hearts skip a beat. Faqra Catering, known as one of the best catering companies in Lebanon, really outdid themselves. The place was packed with guests all visually indulging in the food presentations at the various stations; it was really artwork to feast upon before we enjoyed tasting the food. Over 20 cooks were busy working at their stations, making sure that they catered to all the guests needs on the spot.
