The photos are in—and we’re still dreaming about this Oklahoma ranch wedding✨From the sweeping views and sunset glow to the thoughtful details at every turn, this celebration was unforgettable. We brought the full AFE experience all the way from Houston—cooking on-site, crafting cocktails, and serving up a feast for the books! A stunning night with even better company.

AFE was proud to cater the Spring 2025 Designer Dinner hosted by @papercityhouston and @benjaminmoore during Round Top’s antique show season. The Halles was transformed for “Blue & White Night,” an evening of design, conversation, and celebration honoring Aerin Lauder and Mark D. Sikes. A stunning setting, an inspired guest list, and a night to remember—we were honored to be part of it.
