What does it take to create a delicious fall-themed menu? That is easy for us to answer. One of the most important tips is to incorporate seasonal items into any menu. When it comes to creating an Autumn menu, you can use items like butternut squash, cinnamon, apples, ginger, cranberries, and course let’s not forget the most popular choice … PUMPKIN. 

There is no doubt you will taste exactly what we are talking about. Here is the menu that we are so excited to roll-out:

Managing Your Micro Wedding

1. Guest Count & Venue The first area we must address is the guest count and your venue requirements. Depending on your venue, you will have to adjust your guest count while of course following the state guidelines. From there- we can get planning! Moving from a venue to your private residence? No problem! If you are using True Cuisine & Sweet Baby Ray’s as your catering vendor, we adjust to your venue with no problem. Here are some general areas to consider when adjusting to a new venue: Guest seating / overall new floor plan Food service style Menu & Bar Custom décor These areas will be explained next! 2. Floor plan Planning your floor plan can be tricky for micro weddings as we are still enforcing social distancing as much as possible- even at private residences! Limiting tables to 6 guests each is one way to enforce social distancing during dinner service. Allowing for as much space as possible between each guest table is also important for social distancing. If you are working with different rooms or a backyard- we make it work!
