Wedding Consultation

 Weddings are such a special occasion that we want everything to be perfect for your special day. Our Chef likes to have a special consultation with each bride to make sure the food fits her various needs. Here is all you'll need to know about consulting with our executive chef at Savory.

How it works

   Chef Lou will sit down with you and your groom (or mother, or maid of honor) and get to know you a little bit. She likes to do this because she likes to put your personalities or your story into the food served at your wedding. For example, one of our brides and her fiance were quite outdoorsy. Their engagements pictures had them by a stream, building a tent, and roasting marshmallows.  For their reception we had a S'mores action station. The guests had fun roasting their marshmallows to perfection, adding chocolate and smashing it between two cookies. It was a fun reflection of their personality and history.
   After getting to know you, Chef Lou will create a customized invoice for your wedding. She will use time-tested favorites or even create new dishes to fit you and the event. You have the freedom to alter the invoice as many times until you find the perfect combination for your wedding.

What to bring or prepare for

Although you don't need to bring anything, it's a good idea to talk with your fiance about what you want out of the food for your wedding. Here are some questions to go over with your better half:

• Do we want a full dinner or just appetizers?
• Do we want just desserts or include a variety of sweet and non-sweet items?
• Do we want our guests to leave with a full stomach or provide them with a snack. 
• Is our reception more formal or casual?
• Are we having a certain theme or style for our reception?

Knowing these questions beforehand will help give Lou a good idea of what you envision.  Some other things factors will determine how much and the type of food served at your wedding including time of day, location, guest allergies/food preference, season, number of guests, etc. If you have other questions or concerns Chef Lou will be happy to answer those for you. She is here to help you plan and create a memorable experience for you and all your guests.
