Hors d ‘oeuvres:

Our hors d’oeuvres are produced on the premises providing uniqueness to your guests. They are produced in an unlimited quantity to satisfy anyone’s appetite; they are also produced while the event is going on so any hors d’oeuvres that are more popular are automatically produced in larger volume. This takes out any guesswork or worry for you about which items your guests will like. The amounts of hors d’oeuvres are naturally adjusted by requests from your guests on your wedding day.

All Ten Hors d’oeuvres passed in unlimited quantities

-Spicy Andouille Bruschettas with a Mesquite Barbecue Sauce
-Southwestern Meatballs with a Cheddar and Chipotle Fondue
-Wild Mushrooms with Fresh Herbs and Romano Cheese Baked in a Savory Puff Pastry
-Smoked Salmon with Red Onion, Capers, Crème Fraiche and Chives on Crisp Rice Crackers

All of our Hors d’oeuvres are passed butler style on beautifully colored platters. Only one type of hors d’oeuvre is passed per platter as we have found a waiter with 6-8 hors d’oeuvres on their platter spends more time telling people about the hors d’oeuvre then passing them. Rest assured there are many passers and all items are being served.
