January: A Tasting For Two

Tastings are a great way to meet a couple and learn who they are and get their story, but it’s also a time to have them try out their options, give opinions, and select a finalized menu for their wedding.  We had a great tasting with Bruna and Danny in January.  While they absolutely loved the food, they did have a few notes that we changed for their meal.  For instance, they are sensitive to sweetness, so on our Bruschetta with roasted Bartlett Pear, Brie, and Fine Herbs, we opted to remove the honey drizzle.  Other notes included adding olives to the bride’s salad, adding charred corn to their second dish, and presentation notes for the final course.  It is so important for us to get that feedback so we can put any worries to rest and make their meal exactly what they want.

See you at the dinner table,
