 We had the most wonderful brunch wedding out here with the perfect breakfast to go alongside!  Not only was the view gorgeous with the sun rising beyond the Chapel as the couple said, "I Do", but then their guests were treated to everyone's favorite meal, breakfast!  They had a coffee and doughnuts bar, eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns and pancakes topped with adorable berries for a splash of color.  The breakfast was catered by It's All About You Catering . Not only where they very professional in their service, but I could tell they were fun to work with.  The Bride had such confidence in them executing the perfect wedding brunch and they did it without flaw! 


Make sure to check out their Facebook page and website because they have full service catering and bar options.  They also have an option where couples can have the food delivered and set out on buffet tables, but not served.  This is an economical way to save money, but still offer your guests an incredible meal!

Famous Dave's absolutely surprised me! I have always loved their restaurant, but to realize the large variety they have for their catering and bar service impressed me.  You can have your chicken and pulled pork or you can have a upscale salmon and chicken entree.  The secret I have to pass along to you is do not miss out on their meatballs!  These aren't found on the restaurant menu, you can only find them on the catering menu.  Whether you order them for an appetizer or the entree, you will not be disappointed! These are some of the best meatballs I have ever had.  They're sweet, they're sassy, they're perfect.  I also really enjoyed their cornbread-perfect side to a country meal!  The bar service they had setup looked very professional, complete with a wood bar that can be placed wherever you please that will hide the keg, taps and bottles.  Everyone on staff from Famous Dave's was very easy to work with and I could tell they really relieved a lot of stress from the bride and groom.  
El Gallo Giro

What made the catering from El Gallo Giro so special for this wedding wasn't just the best mexican food I had ever had, but the story behind them being this couples chosen caterers.  This couples first date was at El Gallo Giro, where they shared their first meal together, laughed with one another and had the first spark they thought just might lead them to the alter.  So it seemed absolutely fitting to have El Gallo Giro a huge part of their special day.  The mini Chimichanga's were heavenly.  The roasted jalapeƱos caught my mouth on fire, but I love spicy so it was perfect! BUT, my favorite part is how they made their catering service far more than just a buffet line and some servers. 
They had a guacamole and salsa bar as well as a tortilla station, where their handmade tortilla's were being made right in front of your eyes and warmed to perfection before you walked over to the taco bar, getting to individually pick out the ingredients on your taco.  The way El Gallo Giro set up their mini stations made the food portion of the reception exciting and interactive for the guests!

A Lively Chef has far more to offer than the delicious meal they'll prepare for your guests.  They offer full service catering, which means they will set up the tables, food areas, serve your guests their meal and dessert, as well as help tear down everything at the end of the night.  The team from A Lively Chef were one of the first people I saw arrive and the very last to leave.  Not only did I get to enjoy their gourmet lasagna, creamy chicken and salad, but as the night was closing and we were feeling the effects of a very hot day, Gary handed me the most amazing huckleberry punch I have ever had!  I really don't care too much for punch, especially on a hot day because it usually leaves me feeling more thirsty and tastes too sweet. This huckleberry punch changed my mind.  Not too sweet, the flavor was light and refreshing and the color also made me smile! I really enjoyed getting to know the team at A Lively Chef and am looking forward to them being out here more often.
