Let me help make your wedding memorable…
We constantly get inquiries from brides-to-be that want their reception food to “stand out”, but generally they aren’t quite sure how to accomplish this. Here are a few “Guiding Rules” that may help:Rule #1 Share your dreams. Let your wedding planner know your menu ideas (even if they are only half baked) and request that they get me (the Chef) involved. I take special pride in finding just the right menu items to fit your vision and after 20 years in the industry, I’ve seen it all and have some wonderful ideas I’d love to share. Rule #2 Make it personal. Don’t be afraid to request entrees that you and your fiancé enjoy. They could be family specialties, cultural traditions, or simply personal preferences. Your wedding should reflect you and your uniqueness as a couple. Rule #3 Have fun. Its okay to use themes and to be a little adventurous, for example, a summer beach party theme might be perfect for an August wedding, or if you have an diverse group of guests they may appreciate an international theme. Your planner can be a big help here.Rule #4 Dessert is the most important course for some people. It’s also a course where you can inject your personality into the evening. You don’t have to offer a standard wedding cake (that’s not a Rule). If you don’t like wedding cake, simply skip it! If you LOVE dessert, like I do, offer your guests a Viennese table, custom chocolates, or a huge fondue station in addition to the cake.Rule #5 Ask for a tasting. After you have narrowed things down a bit, ask me to cook sample items for you so can make your final selections with confidence. Rule #6 Don’t forget the wine. Your tasting is a great time to test wine pairings to make sure the proper vintage is chosen to match your menu. Our Wine Bar has an extensive wine list and our in-house Sommelier will make some recommendations, but ultimately it’s your choice.Rule #7 There are no rules. Its your day and you are truly in charge. We will do our very best to cater to your dreams, but remember we are here to help and have a lot of experience which should make the process easier for you.
