Charlene's Kitchen
 
Black and white group shots are always a must at parties! We love the classic B&W look!
Calligraphy adds a great added touch to any event! Charlene has different people to do custom calligraphy work for her. As a part of the Charlene Experience, you can get a classic bar sign like this or something more personalized! • • • #charleneskitchen #oldtownalexandria #alexandriava #caterer #catering #entertaining #barsetup #barsign #calligraphy #customcalligraphy #eventsetup #props #calligraphysign #beautifulsetup #thecharleneexperience #charlenesvault

Charlene designs beautiful tablescapes for all of our Charlene Experience events! Love this shot from the Chadwicks’ event on Saturday. She used a mix of her vintage plates, candlesticks, votives, vintage glasses, and beautiful floral arrangements to make the table look perfect! • • • #charleneskitchen #oldtownalexandria #alexandriava #caterer #catering #entertaining #tablesetup #tablescape #tabledesign #eventsetup #centerpieces #charlenesvault #charlenesarrangements #sitdowndinner #dinnerparty #tablesetting #beautifulsetup #vintage

On Saturday Charlene put together a special birthday celebration for Peter Chadwick! The Chadwick’s have been clients of Charlene’s for several years so Charlene wanted to make this party special for Peter and Kristen. It was a total winter wonderland and the FULL Charlene Experience! Charlene worked with Sugarplum Tents to design the tents - they installed the lanterns and Charlene added a few of her own lanterns and string lights. Charlene also did all the floral arrangements on the table and all the glasses, tablecloths, cowhide rugs, plates, forks, knives, serving pieces, platters, and Moroccan style poof are all from Charlene’s Vault! The colors scheme was grey, gold, purple, and shades of winter white! The white washed tables with ghost chairs and white washed charivari chairs were rented from @selecteventgroup. The menu featured mini BLTs, stuffed mushrooms, a cheese platter, butternut squash goat cheese crostini, deviled eggs, grilled beef tenderloin, crab cakes, garlic green beans, and twice baked potatoes. For dessert, Charlene made a red velvet cake and a classic chocolate cake! Check out more pictures from the event on our Facebook page! Photography by Victoria Heer @victoriaheerphotography.

Tonight Charlene catered a lovely fundraiser for a new library at Holton Arms! The event was hosted by Jennifer and Jim Darcey, whose daughters Lily and Grace go to Holton Arms. Their home was absolutely lovely! All the tables, chairs, and table cloths were rented from Select Event Rentals. The menu featured mini BLTs, butternut goat cheese crostini, kale salad with pine nuts and prosciutto, tomato garlic caper chicken with capellini, and a whole grilled beef tenderloin with rolls and sauce. For dessert, Charlene made mini fudge brownies and lemon squares. • • • #charleneskitchen #oldtownalexandria #alexandriava #caterer #catering #entertaining #fundraiser #fundraisingparty #party #buffettable #winterfood #gourmetfood #bonappetit #yum
