Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. Thus, when planning your special day, using professionals are a given, but finding the right catering company is a must. For one thing, the right company won’t just make your food; they’ll incorporate your theme, your colors, and your taste preferences into a custom menu that fits your needs and budget.
You may wonder, how does one incorporate a theme or even colors into their wedding food? By working with a professional that can think ‘outside the box,’ it can be done. Take for example a wedding catered by Fresh from the Kitchen LLC last October. The couple’s wedding colors were orange and navy blue. Further, many of the bride’s family had special dietary/religious needs that had to be met with the food. No alcohol, garlic, onions, seafood, or meat could be used in the dishes to accommodate the bride’s side of the family. How was this challenge approached?

“In wanting to make their wedding as elegant as the couple desired and incorporate their unique colors and fun personality, I looked for foods that were blue and orange and found ways to include them in the menu.” (Noelle, executive chef). For example, for the appetizers, we had little shot glasses of fruit salad that had mandarin oranges and blueberries in it. The signature drink was a Clementine orange spritzer and a blueberry one, both non-alcoholic and a great compliment to the meal. For the non-vegetarians there were staples like chicken saltimbocca (prosciutto wrapped chicken stuffed with provolone cheese), and shrimp scampi, and for the vegetarians assorted soups and salads and homemade butternut squash raviolis. These incorporated the colors and the elegance of the wedding, while balancing well with the whole menu.
Overall, your friends and family come to your wedding to share your special day with you, but a large highlight for them is the food and beverages provided. To plan your wedding perfectly, especially where food is concerned, call
Fresh from the Kitchen LLC for a dream wedding that will be memorable for years to come!
