What was the best wedding gift you received?

Handcrafted china (from Tiffany Hilton Pottery!) and table linens.

Is there one picture from your own wedding you couldn't live without?

Taken by my best friend and posted on Instagram.

What do couples worry about that they shouldn't?  What should they sweat but don't? 

Couples don't need to worry about all the options and making the right choice.  The answer is that there is no wrong answer. 

They should consider space and the feng shui of the room.

As a vendor, what's your favorite moment when working with a couple?

Finding that special food item that brings back a family memory or really makes the party.

What makes you different from other professionals in your field?

We are very upscale casual about everything.  Everything we do is beautifully curated, organized and delicious, but has a casual vibe that allows the modern wedding to shine in its simplicity.

What do you love most about your work?

Having people swoon over the food and be so surprised that catering can be so delicious.

Cocktail of choice?

Tom Collins.

One piece of advice you would give your 18 year old self?

Go slower.  Life is short.

Your dream dinner party guest?
