Unpretentious elegance
This was an intimate and elegant reception held al fresco at the bride's Tesuque home.  Guests were  greeted with champagne and hors d'oeuvres, then invited to the sunset patio for dinner. The menu reflects the bride and groom's dedication to authentic, seasonal foods prepared with integrity.  A simple yet elegant menu.  Ron Helman's jazz trio was a gift from the bride to her jazz-loving groom.
