💍🍴PRIVATE WEDDING TASTINGS🍴💍
Did you know that we offer private tastings for all our couples, before having to make any kind of commitment to us!? 😍
Other caterers only offer group tastings or require you to pay a deposit before they will provide you with a tasting! 😮
We believe that tasting your wedding cuisine before you make a commitment is as essential as viewing your venue ⛪️ or trying on dresses 👰🏽♀️before you pay for them!
🙅 There is no way we would ever book our own wedding caterer without tasting their food and meeting them in person first, so we would never expect any of our couples to either.
🍽️ Private tastings offer you the chance to not only to taste the quality of our food, but also to get to know us in person, as well as an opportunity to sit one on one with Michael (Owner and Executive Chef) to discuss creating the most perfect menu for your very special day! 👨🏻🍳
Email or call us to book in your private tasting and start planning your dream menu:

🫐TIRAMISU WITH BLUEBERRY COULIS🫐
Ever since one of our brides asked us to make tiramisu dessert cups for her wedding in July last year, Chef Michael has been loving making this absolutely delicious dessert again!
It’s not on our standard individually plated dessert menu as it’s quite time consuming to plate for a large event, where there’s a strict time schedule like there is at a wedding, but he’s been “whipping” it out (haha - I’m so funny!) for some private and corporate functions.
Creamy, chocolatey, boozy. DELICIOUS!!! 🤤
