The best part about what I do is work with new people everyday, and help them plan one of the most exciting days of their lives. I find it even more interesting when I am approached by a couple that wants to plan something different, a step out of the box. Celeste and Jason where very up front when they first met me. They were quick to tell me they were Geeky, and had specific ideas about their reception. Of course, the food was our largest discussion, they were vegan and wanted their guests to all learn more about vegan food.
My main concern was making sure the guests that were used to eating meat would be not only comfortable with the food – but thrilled! So after discussing with our Chefs and finding out some of Celeste and Jason’s favorite foods, this is what we came up with:
Butler Passed Hors d’Oeuvres
Avocado Sushi & Asparagus Rolls
Sweet Potato Fries
Eggplant & Roasted Pepper Tapenade
on grilled Tuscan rounds
Dinner Buffet
Field Greens Salad
Fruits of the Season
Oak Grilled Vegetable Display
Crispy Breaded Eggplant
with garlic and basil marinara
Stuffed Portabello
with spinach, chopped onion and mushrooms
Penne Aglio e Olio
e.v.o.o., whole roasted garlic cloves, sun-dried tomatoes and broccolini
Yukon Gold & Parsnip Mashed Potatoes
topped with sage
Fresh Green Beans Almondine
Thanks Celeste and Jason for choosing us to help you create such a fantastic event for your family and friends! Celeste wrote a blog about the wedding as well. Read her blog here.
