Over the last year, we have started hosting Private Tastings for engaged couples who are searching for the perfect caterer. What is a private tasting, you ask? It as an evening of sampling some of our most deliciousand sought-after dishes, along with a glass of wine, and a chance to talk with our Proprietors, Doug and Mary Partridge. To make the evening complete, our Executive Chef, Lispeth Springer, is also available to discuss any menu ideas or special dietary needs you may have. When the three individuals work together, your vision of the perfect wedding reception is more realistic.
Here is some footage from the night of Doug Partridge sharing how he creates our centerpieces; Thai Fruit Sculptures:
