“Moonshine was once illegal, as was same sex weddings, so Lance thought the tie-in was a fun idea,” a source tells PEOPLE. “And since he is a Southern boy, he can appreciate moonshine.”
The menu also didn’t disappoint. Guests enjoyed a selection of cheeses, olives and passed hors d’oerves including deviled eggs, mini meatballs and pancetta wrapped dates from Robert Earl’sBuca di BeppoItalian restaurant.
Plus, the dinner featured elaborate salad, pasta and carving stations with dishes like apple gorgonzola salad, wedding lasagna, salmon pesto, and braised short ribs.
And no wedding would be complete without something sweet (in addition to the cake, of course). Brooklyn-basedSteve’s Ice Creamserved five different flavors, including butter maple syrup with waffle pieces, mint cacao chip, bourbon vanilla, dark chocolate salty caramel and milk chocolate with cake pieces and dark chocolate pudding.
“The guys were really involved and taste tested the [ice cream] flavors,” says a source. “They wanted something delicious and fun for the guests to try.”
