As the sun began to set, everyone gathered for the outdoor dinner reception, where they were greeted with a sumptuous feast fit for royalty. The raw bar boasted a selection of freshly shucked oysters, succulent shrimp, and zesty ceviche, while a beef tenderloin carving station and seared-to-order crab cakes delighted the senses and tantalized the taste buds.
