Every wedding we cater is special to us because each one reflects the unique love story of the couple. However, one of the most memorable weddings we were privileged to be part of was a beautiful outdoor celebration where the couple wanted a farm-to-table theme.
We worked closely with them to create a menu using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and even incorporated herbs and edible flowers from their family garden. The presentation was rustic yet elegant, with long grazing tables adorned with greenery and candles, blending perfectly with the natural setting.
The highlight for us was seeing how happy the couple and their guests were as they enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. It reminded us why we love what we do—helping create unforgettable memories through exceptional food and service.

My No.1 wedding planning tip for couples is to prioritize what’s most important to you and stay true to your vision. With so many options and advice out there, it can be easy to get overwhelmed, but focusing on the elements that truly matter to you both—whether it’s the food, the atmosphere, or the personal touches—will help guide your decisions.
For example, if food is a central part of your celebration, like it is for many of our couples, make sure to work closely with your caterer to craft a menu that reflects your style, preferences, and the overall tone of the day. A personalized experience will always stand out and leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Remember, it’s your day, so make sure it’s a reflection of who you are as a couple!
One of our favorite personal touches at a wedding was when a couple incorporated a custom family recipe into their menu. Instead of a traditional wedding cake, they served a beloved homemade dessert that had been passed down through generations. It was a wonderful way to honor their family history and heritage, and it created such a warm, intimate feeling for their guests.
Another personal touch that stood out was a “memory table” where guests could place photos of loved ones who couldn’t be there. It was a beautiful, meaningful way to include those special people in the celebration.
Both of these touches showed the couple’s thoughtfulness and love for their families, and they added such depth and personal meaning to the day.
Our process with couples is designed to ensure a smooth, personalized experience from start to finish. Here’s how it typically unfolds:
Initial Consultation:
We begin by having an in-depth conversation with the couple to understand their vision for the day. We ask about their style, preferences, and any specific ideas they have for the food, as well as any dietary restrictions or special requests. This helps us get a clear picture of what they’re looking for.
Menu Creation:
Based on the consultation, we create a custom menu that aligns with their tastes and the overall theme of their wedding. We offer a variety of options—whether they’re interested in a formal plated dinner, a more casual buffet, or a grazing table. We also work with them to select the best presentation style and the right drinks to complement the meal.
Finalizing Details:
As the wedding day approaches, we confirm all the logistical details, including timelines, guest count, and any special requests regarding service or presentation. We want everything to be perfect, so we go over every aspect thoroughly.
The Wedding Day:
On the day of the wedding, our team arrives early to ensure everything is set up beautifully and on time. We take care of the food service and all the details, so the couple can focus on enjoying their special day. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Post-Wedding Follow-Up:
After the event, we often check in with the couple to make sure everything went as planned and to gather feedback. We love hearing about their experience and use that feedback to continuously improve our services.
Oh, I’d definitely wow them by combining flawless technique with a bit of creativity and a touch of the unexpected! I’d start with a classic dish—maybe a perfectly cooked risotto—but then I’d add my own twist: edible gold flakes (because, why not?), and a surprise burst of citrus to balance out the richness. And, of course, I'd plate it like a work of art—because we all know the judges eat with their eyes first!
If they asked for something sweet, I'd serve a dessert with layers of texture—like a chocolate mousse that melts in your mouth, paired with a crispy praline and a tangy fruit compote. You can’t go wrong when you balance richness with freshness!
But really, I’d just make sure I had a big smile and a confident “let's make this magical” vibe—because cooking is all about passion and fun, right?
One of the most innovative dishes we’ve created for a wedding was a deconstructed seafood tower. Instead of the traditional multi-tiered display, we served individual portions of lobster, oysters, shrimp, and crab claws in beautiful, edible shell bowls. The twist? Each “bowl” was made of crispy, baked parmesan cheese, adding a savory crunch to the delicate seafood. We paired it with a fresh citrus aioli and a micro-herb garnish, which elevated the whole experience.
It was not only a stunning visual centerpiece but also a completely unique way to enjoy seafood, turning it into an interactive and personalized experience for guests. They absolutely loved the concept—and it was a huge hit!
The food of love? That’s a tough one, but I’d say it’s something that brings people together and makes them feel cared for. For me, it’s definitely comfort food with a twist—dishes like creamy risotto or a rich chocolate mousse that evoke warmth and indulgence. There’s something about sharing a meal that has a bit of soul to it that creates connection.
But, if we’re talking about pure romance, I’d go with oysters—elegant, indulgent, and known for their aphrodisiac qualities! Paired with a glass of champagne, they’re the perfect start to a celebration of love. Plus, when you share a dish that’s so intimate and special, it just feels like the love is in the air (and on the plate)!
It’s definitely passion! When you pour your heart into every dish, it really makes all the difference. But if I had to pick an actual ingredient, it would be a dash of citrus—whether it’s a squeeze of fresh lemon, a zest of orange, or a hint of lime. It brightens up the flavors in almost any dish and adds a burst of freshness that can take it to the next level.
It’s all about finding that perfect balance, and sometimes, a little citrus is the magic that ties everything together. Plus, it always adds a little zest to life—and who doesn’t love that?
