Menu Highlights
Work directly with our kitchen team to build a menu that fits your preferences, or pick from our buffet selections that include roasted meats, pasta dishes, fresh vegetables, and salads. You can add appetizer spreads or carved-to-order stations to round out the meal.
We offer different bar setups – some couples prefer just beer and wine, while others want full cocktail service. Special drink options like brunch cocktails or personalized mixed drinks can reflect your style as a couple.
Personalized Touches for Your Perfect Day
Outdoor games, photo slideshows, champagne service, and late-evening snacks help customize your day. Optional services, such as timeline development, basic décor arrangement, and event coordination, are available upon request.
