Are you ready to dive into one of the most delicious parts of your wedding planning? That's right, it's menu tasting time! 🍽️💍. But before you grab your forks, let's talk about a few key questions to keep in mind to make this experience absolutely perfect:

Tasting Fee Details: You might be wondering, "Is there a cost for this culinary adventure?" It's a good idea to ask about any fees involved so you can plan accordingly and the maximum number of guests to participate. Think of it as investing in a sneak peek of your big day's flavors!

Setting the Scene: Now, let's envision your tables on the big day. Ask if linens, glassware, and flatware are included in your package. It's these little details that add up to create the perfect ambiance for your celebration.

Menu Flexibility: Your tastes might evolve as you get closer to your wedding, and that's totally okay! Don't hesitate to ask if you can make adjustments to the menu throughout the planning process. After all, it's your day, and your menu should be as unique as your love story.

Cocktail Hour Delights: Picture your guests mingling and laughing, a drink in one hand and a delicious appetizer in the other. How many appetizers should you offer during this magical hour? It's a great question to ask to ensure everyone has just enough to tantalize their taste buds before the main event.

Remember, this is more than just a meal; it's a memory in the msking Bon appetit!

The The VanLandingham Estate was the perfect location for a wedding festooned in garden party motif. Samantha Wolf of Springvine Design pulled out all the stops on the florals. From the tent ceiling greenery to the centerpieces it was an artistic explosion of beauty. Great job!

Feeling BLESSED! Thanks, Jamie for the kind words!
"If you want a stress-free wedding day and months leading up to the day, Lisa is who you need. Lisa was on top of things from the very beginning and made sure we were relaxed and had the wedding of our dreams. I even got compliments from my bridal party about how she put them at ease about what they where they were supposed to be and anything that could have gone wrong she fixed before it even happened. My biggest compliment would be that she took my ideas (cake, tables, seating chat, cookie table, etc) and made them a reality. Honestly, I don't know where I would have been without her.
