Wedding or Commitment Ceremony
Our work is to bring you delicious food, but also to help the day be calm. This starts with the menu planning: one price includes everything that has anything to do with the serving or the eating of the food -place settings, linens, service, food. It continues with a celebration that is punctual but never hurried. Our experience is primarily with buffet and family style meals. Ask for a free estimate.
