You have to do more than show up to your menu tasting hungry (though it’s certainly important to). Your menu tasting is a big moment as you plan your wedding because it’s a chance to actually experience part of your big day.

So when you get to this point, there are a few things I want you to know:

Tip #1

Tip #2

Tip #3

From there, it’s up to me and your catering team to bring it all to life!

Did you know the type of dinner service you choose for your wedding affects your tablescape design? Yup, sure does! Because you can’t have design elements literally getting in the way as your gets are served. And here is some of the advice I give my couples:

For family style service: Your advice

For buffet style service: Your advice

For plated meal service: Your advice

Thinking about all the things now and feel like you need some guidance? I’d love to chat about what you envision for your wedding. Tell them how to reach out to you.

It’s one of the great debates in weddings. Should you have an open or a cash bar? And while there isn’t a definitive answer, there are definitely pros and cons to each.

Open bar

Pro: Type in your reason for it being good

Con: Type in your reason for it being bad

Cash bar

Pro: Type in your reason for it being good

Con: Type in your reason for it being bad

My advice? Think about your budget, guests, and how much of a “party” you want to host—you can make your decision from there.
