When two Raleigh food stars get married, the charcuterie (and the party) is next-level.
. Kait was living in New York City at the time, working as an editor for the food publication Tasting Table, and Ashley was just a few years into opening her first restaurant, Poole’s Diner, in Raleigh, North Carolina. “We met at the event and had a few good conversations over the course of the weekend,” Ashley says. “Then we just stayed in touch here and there.”
Both Ashley and Kait were adamant about having a wedding that felt like them. They wanted it to be fun, and free of any stuffiness—they went back and forth about whether they even wanted a ceremony. When they ultimately decided that they did, in fact, want to have a service, they also came to the realization that they wanted the whole event to feel like a big party with incredible food, music, and a free-flowing agenda. “The first thing we picked was the location,” Ashley says.
Attendants and guests were told to wear their most comfortable summer garden party outfits, and they gathered in a circular driveway on the property to watch Ashley and Kait marry under a gazebo. “The ceremony was short but so amazing,” Ashley says. “We were married by John T. Edge, our good friend and director of the Southern Foodways Alliance. We drank Champagne while we walked in, our dogs wore flower collars, and we wrote our own vows. It was laid-back and celebratory, but also sentimental.
As restaurant folks, food was inevitably front and center. The events team from their company, AC Events, did the majority of the menu. “It was a combination of our favorite dishes and things that Ashley is known for, like macaroni au gratin, tomato pie, and fried soft-shell crabs,” Kait explains.
