Taste Test Events

A few times each year, our talented and passionate Executive Chef’s showcase a wide variety of entrees, sides and desserts for our brides and grooms to sample.

It’s a wonderful opportunity to get a sense of the style, quality and presentation of the food while enjoying the company of other brides and grooms and the venue’s atmosphere. You’ll get to sample a ton of different kinds of foods, plus experience items you may not have otherwise considered…then pick your favorite(s)!

Yes, complimentary drinks are also offered! Have fun! The Taste Test Event is essentially a date night at your wedding venue to eat, drink and have a great time! But save your appetite. There will be copious amounts of food, from hors d’oeuvres to stations, even some display chef entrées; you’ll absolutely want to have room to try it all!
