Signature Wedding Cocktail Recipes + Advice
Cocktails have become increasingly popular at weddings in recent years as a way to offer a variety of drink options to guests. Many couples choose to...
So, you've picked your wedding location and you're getting ready to say, "I Do" - that means it's time to think about food! Your selection of appetizers and entrées should reflect who you and your partner are, what you like, and what your families will enjoy. Make it your own!
Today, we're exploring our extensive menu, all designed by our executive chef and his award-winning team based on what's seasonally available, what tastes good, and what's on trend. We have various delicious menu options tailored to meet diverse flavor profiles and dietary needs. Do you like savory red sauces or creamy whites? Garlic and herbs or citrus and creamy?
Wedding buffets have become incredibly popular because they provide various options for your guests. The appetizer selection is equally as impressive offering light dishes to yummy comfort food! For instance, vegetables with hummus or a cheese platter are a great way to start. If you like something a little fancier and eclectic, consider a fresh mozzarella and grape tomato caprese skewer, mini shrimp tostada, sweet and tangy BBQ meatballs, or a traditional bruschetta consisting of Roma tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil.
Our buffet salads impress guests with the number of options. Each one unique and mouth-watering, the buffet package comes with eight assorted salads.
Who loves a good starch? We DO! You can choose either potatoes or rice. The potatoes include the option of Garlic Mashed Potatoes subtly hinted with a light garlic touch, Herb Roasted Red Potatoes, or Three Cheese Scalloped Potatoes. All meals come with a beautiful, bright medley of seasonal vegetables and are complete with fresh-baked bread and butter.
Of course, the buffet is popular for our remarkable entrée selection. If you are a fan of food pairings, the citrus in the piccata and the panko and sherry cream pair well with our Roasted Salmon or Alaskan Cod. Our Chicken Marsala pairs well with any red meat. The gluten-free dishes include Rosemary Garlic Herb Chicken, Alaskan Cod with Grape Tomato Vinaigrette, and the Harvest Grain Stuffed Pepper (which is also vegan).
The grand finale to the buffet is the carving station. Although it's at the end of the buffet line, it's worth the wait. Every package comes with the option of a chef-attended carving station! Your package options may vary from Roast Beef Au Jus with Creamed Horseradish, Pit Ham with Pineapple Glaze, Oven Roasted Turkey with Gravy, Herb Crusted Beef Tenderloin Au Jus, and the guest favorite, the Slow Roasted Prime Rib of Beef Au Jus with creamed horseradish.
Our Elite package includes a duet plated meal. If you're hosting a plated meal service, consider more decadent appetizer selections, as guests will have a portioned meal for their main course. Consider appetizers such as mini egg rolls, crab cakes, mac and cheese panko croquettes, pulled pork canapes, or the delicious fan-favorite - chicken and waffles with bourbon syrup.
Plated service salad options depend on your package selection. The most common is our Signature Vinaigrette salad, which consists of mixed green, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and shredded carrots paired with an Italian vinaigrette. Other options are our classic Caesar and the raspberry walnut salad.
The most commonly selected entrée for a wedding menu is chicken. We have savory dishes like the Chicken Cordon Bleu with chardonnay sauce, citrus notes with the Charred Lemon Chicken Piccata, and the most popular Panko Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Sherry Cream Sauce. Our Five Cheese Tortellini Pesto Parmesan is a signature dish, and it's also vegetarian!
