Ring (as in engagement) in the New Year? Involving sparkling carats and eyes aglow? Congratulations! Let the wedding planning begin by “farming” out festivities -- including the ceremony -- to Milton’s Cuisine & Cocktails in idyllic North Fulton. The unique restaurant fills a historic Crabapple farmhouse that has seen more than 150 years of life, love and laughter. Charm exudes from homestead and porch out over the lawn and into Milton’s Acre, an onsite garden where Milton’s grows its own veggies and herbs and hosts its signature garden dinners around long communal tables. Farmhouse, neat rows and an arbor-covered center path provide a picturesque backdrop for a sophisticated Southern wedding, well-balanced with style from ceremony to reception or a true seed-to-fork dining experience. Chef Derek Dollar tailors a menu of regionally inspired comfort foods to suit your desires, be it for brunch, dinner or hors d’oeuvre accompanied by bar stations mixing classic and creative libations. Milton’s welcoming staff delivers the cherished nuptial gift of a stress-free event where bride, groom, family and guests can all relax and celebrate the momentous occasion. To set the ball rolling from start through the big day, contact Milton’s events and marketing manager Jill Hayes (jill@miltonscuisine.com). She also can set you up with photographer Ashley Blencoe (www.BlencoeAndCo.com), who’s well versed in views at the historic venue and ready to capture the picture-perfect day.
Ah, that holiday sparkle. Eyes, lights, champagne, engagement rings. Congrats! Now there’s a wedding to plan, and Milton’s Cuisine & Cocktails turns dreams of a unique event into a beautiful and stress-free reality. Picture all of this vintage Southern charm in one convenient place: a gorgeous, restored 155-year-old farmhouse in historic Crabapple, sprawling lawn, spacious patio and the one-acre “Milton’s Acre” garden for a true seed-to-fork outside reception if desired. Executive chef Derek Dollar orchestrates amazing receptions of passed hors d’oeuvre, “action” stations and an open bar, brunch, dinner and other celebratory options. Lean on the event planner for a serene, turnkey event including tables, linens, candles, servers, set up, clean up and a vetted list of photographers, officiants, musicians, florists, bakeries and more. Brides, perhaps you won’t let the groom see your dress, but do share Milton’s blog and online brochure and invite the lucky guy to come along on a grounds tour. Contact Milton’s events and marketing manager Jill List at jill@miltonscuisine.com to set up a tour or find out more information.
