TOP 3 MENU
PLANNING TIPS

  • WHO will be celebrating?
    The style of your event and the taste preferences of your guests are very important considerations when building your menu. Do your guests have traditional or adventurous tastes, or will cultural traditions play a strong role? Often their palates, along with your vision, set the tone for your menu. Our approach and process of selecting your menus will vary if your event is a wedding, a corporate meeting, non-profit gala, or mitzvah. Our team is here to help you navigate our menus and make suggestions along the way, with your unique guest list in mind. Our menus are crafted to include classic and creative options that will appeal to a broad spectrum of tastes.
  • WHAT do you want to be a part of your celebration?
    Your event is the perfect time to celebrate your favorite foods in ways that are new and exciting. Thinking about what foods you love, and what foods have played a role in your personal life story is a fun part of menu planning. Did you & your fiancé share an amazing first date at a sushi restaurant? Or maybe you just love BBQ, Italian pastries, or anything chocolate. Our team will help you to incorporate these ideas using our extensive menus and action station ideas.
  • HOW do you want to celebrate?
    Thinking about the style of your event will help you structure the timing and service for your menu. Is your vision for an elegant affair, or a relaxed gathering? Do you want to WOW your guests the minute they walk in with a cocktail hour that features a seafood raw bar and Chef hosted carving tables? Perhaps you want your guests to be able to mingle and dance the night away rather than be seated for an extended dinner service. We have options that can delight your guests at each stage of the event.

And finally… SAVOR the experience. Just like enjoying your favorite dish, our goal is to make the menu planning process fun & enjoyable. The authentic touches that you put on your menu are what your guests will remember, and you will treasure!
