An appreciation post for these gorgeous tablescapes and plating situations 🤩🤌

Because how can you not romanticize your day when it's this gorgeous!? 🥹

Who says buffet style can't be just as stunning as plated dinners? 💚

Some may tell you that your dinner has to be a certain style in order to fit a wedding's vibe, but we think there is room for ALL of the styles to suit your taste!

Not sure which service style is best for your wedding? Send us a message and we'll help you figure it out 🍽️

In case you thought we were biased when we talked last week about how much how loved the tomato tartlet is...we'll just let this sweet comment speak for itself 🥹💚

Thank you so much to every single one of you who has ever given us a thoughtful review, left a meaningful comment, or shared a compliment with us!

Your kind words mean the world to us as a small, family-run business; we are so grateful for the From Scratch community!

We know that the little things make all the difference during your wedding or event.

Whether it's by taking the extra time to make sure your citrus-infused water looks as beautiful as the rest of your event, adding custom floral garnishes to your table settings to match your wedding florals, or including your favorite snacks in your grazing table...
..we're committed to making every detail of your special day absolutely perfect.

Because when it comes to your big day, there's no such thing as too much attention to detail. ✨

A moment for hors d'oeuvres 🤌🤌🤌

We think that a passed appetizer is such an amazing way to elevate a wedding cocktail hour; it's the ultimate way to keep people happy, fed, and raving about your wedding while they wait for dinner 👏

In these photos, you see three of our classics—goat cheese tartlets, swiss lemon scallops, and bruschetta—but we've got a whole menu's worth of appetizers for your wedding or event. Just send us a message, and we'll craft up a menu for you 💚

10/09/2024

We believe your food should look as good as it tastes.

One of the best parts of your job is getting to know the vibe of your wedding or event and planning a menu and tablescape that fit that vibe.

The vibe for this wedding: soft, floral, elegant, romantic 🌸

How'd we do?!

Our crowd-favorite bruschetta: fresh Roma tomatoes are diced and mixed with garlic, fresh basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. We serve this garden-fresh taste with our toasted baguettes and top it with Asiago cheese. This recipe, along with many others we serve, is a tried and true recipe that's been in our family for years and years. We're so thankful for all of the generations who have influenced our master menu list; From Scratch wouldn't be the same without you! 💚 #scratchcooking #grandmasrecipe #thecookfeed #foodfun #familyrecipes #madefromscratch #fromscratch #fallfood

Is it bad that watching this video back has us craving our own pizza? 🫣🤤 To make our pear and gorgonzola pizza, we press our fluffy pizza dough on a well-seasoned stone and top it with Swiss cheese, thinly sliced pears, a sprinkle of blue cheese, and toasted walnuts. We bake it until golden, drizzle it with balsamic glaze, and serve it piping hot. This passed app is the most beautiful and rustic beginning to the rest of your evening—your guests will be raving about the food before dinner even arrives! #marriedinmilwaukee #weddingvenue #milwaukeebride #midwestbride #fullservicecatering #weddingflorist #milwaukeecaterer #cedarburg #cedarburgwi
