Taste Test & Décor Events
Several times each year, our talented and passionate Executive Chef showcases a variety of appetizers, 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…then pick your favorite(s)!
We also showcase a ton of different decor options. Everything from centerpieces, table linens, table runners, chair covers, backdrops, signage, lighting, specialty furniture, photo backdrops and more.
There's an open bar too! So please, come hungry...and thirsty!
