​Dream a little...or dream big. Your ideas and desires come first; they form the basis of creating the ideal plan for your wedding day. Understanding your desires, and how to best please you and your guests, is essential in our collaboration to plan and craft a meaningful celebration.

The preparations for your wedding begin now, and won't stop until every fork is polished, every napkin folded, your seating plan finalized, and each hand-crafted hors d’oeuvre placed and ready for tray-passing.

Food may be our first love language, but we are also fluent in logistics, event styling, libations, table settings, vendors & venues. As full service caterers and event designers, we bring more to the table - we bring insight, ideas, artistry, focus, and heartfelt passion. 

Let’s create something beautiful and set the stage for your celebration. 

Your path to perfect

1. Consult & connect

When you're ready to talk over your plans, connect with us to share what you have in mind. Our experienced planners will help guide you, answer questions, and put your mind at ease for any special concerns you have.  
   

2. Drafting your unique plan

We will put together a draft plan for your event, and go over it with you to be sure we understand exactly what you are looking for.  At this point, we will have a solid outline for your event, including a general timeline, suggested menu and basic services.
   

3. Fine-tuning & details

Your plans will change as you progress. During this phase of your event planning, more details will be finalized, such as coordinating with your other vendors and venue, your beverage and bar details, and event timeline. Your private tasting will be calendared to finalize your menu and service details, and our lines of communication will remain open at all times, so you will never feel adrift.
   

4. Your day unfolds

Your day has finally arrived: Our production and support teams are ready to take care of you and your guests, and ensure that everything happens on time, according to plan. We are ready to anticipate the unexpected, to make sure your day is enjoyable, and unfolds just as you have always imagined it would.
