Nothing makes us happier than being able to celebrate the happiest day with a couple in love. We were lucky enough to be invited to cater Emily and Corey’s wedding up at Malibu Rocky Oaks.

Our process began in January 2017, when we had a tasting for the couple. During this time, we get to really meet and talk with our clients and see what they are thinking when it comes to their wedding. It was such a delight to see Corey and Emily’s excitement as they imagined how their celebration was going to unfold.

Finally, over a year later, the big day was upon us. Set up in the gorgeous hills of Malibu, at the stunning Malibu Rocky Oaks, this wedding was nothing short of breathtaking. While the sun shone brightly over the golden haze of the hills, the happy couple exchanged their vows surrounded by their loved ones.

As cocktail and champagne were poured, tray passed appetizers consisting of slow braised short rib arancini with veal jus and grated pecorino, as well as a spicy Ahi tuna wonton cup with pickled ginger, jalapeno, avocado mousse and finished with a wasabi dust were passed around. A cheese and charcuterie station rounded out the cocktail hour.

As the sun began to set, our formal plated dinner began with an arugula salad with charred corn, cherry tomatoes, radish, and a Parmesan zest, all tossed in a Meyer lemon dressing. Guests had the choice of a seared branzino or pepper crusted fillet of beef as their entrees. Finally, the evening concluded with the traditional wedding cake.

We never expect anything post-event, so it sure made our day to hear back from the lovely bride. “Thank you so much, Chris!! Everyone raved about your food and the absolutely incredible service. I literally cannot say enough good things. You guys did such an amazing job. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Such a fantastic evening for such a fantastic couple!

This past December, we were lucky enough to cater the fabulous Cartier Christmas party on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. The store, crowned with bright lights and ornamented with the signature scarlet and gold made famous by the luxury brand, invited their most loyal and eager clients to thank and celebrate the upcoming holiday. With seasonal music filling the space, and the excited chatter of the invited guests, the scene was set for the merriest of evenings.

The menu itself boasted an impressive array of delicacies for all the attendants to enjoy. Decadent appetizers such as toasted brioche crisps topped with crème fraiche and Oscietra Caviar along with wonton cups filled with lobster, pineapple, jalapeno, and a coriander aioli were passed to the awaiting guests, while the full bar boasted champagne, and three specialty cocktails: the Winter Wonderland, Santa’s Cap, and the Cartier Blush. A dessert station, filled with cream puffs and brownies, paired perfectly with a make-you-own hot chocolate station. And to top it all of, a Cartier store replica gingerbread house stole the show.

We are so thankful to work with such a fantastic team and continue to look forward to working with Cartier again in the future.
