Customize YOUR Menu

Our wedding coordinators work closely with you and with our chefs to customize your reception menu to your tastes and style. We listen closely to you in designing appropriate menus.

We provide many different menu options, whether you are planning a formal sit down dinner or a more casual buffet/station event.

We work together with you to fine-tune the menus until we create your final menu. When creating your final menu we also take into account special considerations, such as appropriate children's menus, themes, vegetarian and vegan concerns, kosher needs and various food restrictions. The result is a perfectly customized menu for your wedding reception.

Choose YOUR Wedding Cake

We can provide you with a customized wedding cake, designed to your specifications. The cake recipe and designs will be created as we listen to your desires, present pictures to you and taste samples. The end product will be a beautifully customized cake, appropriately garnished and elegantly presented and served.

If you provide the wedding cake, we will professionally present it and serve it at no charge.

Quality Bar Service

Your ceremony has ended. The guests arrive at your reception site. One of their first impressions will be at the bar getting their first drink...

Our bartenders present themselves in full tuxedo, very courteously and they are always ready thirty minutes early. In the beginning of your reception we provide one bartender for every 30 guests, ensuring your guests won't have to wait.

The bartenders are professionally trained to serve a full bar including customized or specialty drinks. We use only real glassware and provide all non-alcohol ingredients at the bar, including a full selection of sodas, spring water, cocktail fruit, assorted juices and ice.

The result: your guests have a drink in hand and an hors d'oeuvres offered within minutes of their arrival.

Personalized Service
