So this was a fun experience. I am pretty familiar with MOST South Florida venues at this point and yet I was surprised by a new one in February when asked to do a rehearsal dinner at the Kampong Garden in Coconut Grove. For starters this place is a drop dead gorgeous Asian garden flanking the Atlantic Coast. I wish I had a few more day time pics to show how incredible the spot was. This Greek Orthodox family was wonderful to work with in producing an event that would not over shadow the wedding at Fisher Island the next day but yet be gorgeous in and of itself. The entry way was lined with lit Asian Paper laterns while fog and barely there Asian music came out of the greenery. Once inside my new fave caterer of the Japanese / Chinese persuasian Kazu invited the guests in with a specialty cocktail. We had a lit bar from Room Service Rentals and Carlos Areco had this fabulous jazzy trio on stage. The submerged orchid centerpieces were courtesy of Brucie and the pics are courtesy of Robin Buckley all the way out from LA. Very fun time, enjoy the pics.
