We were thrilled when Arkansas lifestyle blogger, Mary Kate Whitmire, agreed to sample our private fine dining option around Valentine’s Day with her husband, Colton. Mary Kate Whitmire is the writer and creator behind Chic Little Honey, a blog where she gets to share her love for fashion, beauty, home decorating, cooking, baking, and so much more. The blog started when Mary Kate was in college and has grown along with her through various phases of her life such as getting married, buying a home and landing her dream job as a corporate advertising copywriter. We love that Mary Kate and Colton got to experience our fine dining dishes on a holiday where they were celebrating their love for each other. We want to thank Mary Kate for these amazing photos she took of Vibrant Occasions Catering’s food and hope they will dine with us again!
