At the historic Moss Mountain Farm, nestled in the picturesque Arkansas countryside, Courtney and Jordan Hanberry celebrated their love story on a beautiful autumn day. Their romance began on a warm June day in 2019 at an apartment pool, followed by a sweet first date at TCBY. This casual beginning blossomed into an inseparable bond that led them to one of Arkansas’s most prestigious wedding venues.
The couple chose P. Allen Smith’s stunning estate, known for hosting only 15 exclusive weddings per year, as the backdrop for both their ceremony and reception. The property’s rich history, dating back to the Quapaw tribe and early American explorers, provided an enchanting setting for their special day.
Our culinary team at Vibrant Occasions Catering crafted a menu that perfectly balanced sophistication with comfort. The celebration began with passed hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour, featuring creative bites like Caprese Pipettes with aged balsamic and playful Mini Chicken & Waffles drizzled with maple syrup.
The main course offered guests a choice between two exceptional entrées: a fork-tender Cabernet Braised Brisket and a Paneed Chicken with a delicate beurre blanc sauce. These were accompanied by creamy Mashed Yukon Gold potatoes and Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts. For guests with dietary preferences, we prepared a thoughtful vegan option – Stuffed Acorn Squash featuring P. Allen Smith’s own Ralston Farms’ Harvest Blend Rice, complemented by roasted brussels sprouts.
What made this wedding particularly special was how it married the venue’s commitment to organic practices and sustainability with our dedication to using fresh, high-quality ingredients. The historic grounds of Moss Mountain Farm, with its heritage poultry conservancy and famous Noisette Rose garden, provided an idyllic backdrop for this autumn celebration.
The Hanberrys’ wedding exemplified how the right venue and menu can create an unforgettable experience for guests while supporting important conservation efforts. Their choice of Moss Mountain Farm not only provided a stunning setting for their celebration but also contributed to the preservation of this historic Arkansas treasure.
