Our most popular selection.  The appeal of the Buffet is the array of selections that permit your guests to choose the foods they desire.  The Buffet serving line is always beautifully decorated, skirted and illuminated.  A carver is provided for that personal and professional touch,  together with a uniformed line staff to assure a continuous availability of all selections.  We use only fresh foods.  It kills us when we see the canned vegetables and frozen entrees so often used by others.  Soiled china and silverware is collected from the tables of your guests as quickly and unobtrusively as possible to avoid any disturbance to the celebration.

 

 

For the casual or cocktail type event, this selection is the preferred choice.  Since there is no meal per se,  guests can socialize or participate in planned functions and snack when they desire.  Foods in this category are placed on silver platters, or in special serving dishes, or in chafers that are tastefully arranged on illuminated and skirted decorated tables.  Serviceware and napkins are upscale disposables.

 

Remember, in both of these menu categories the facility rental charge is either waived or greatly reduced.  There is no charge for the first four hours of bar service.  Requested service over 4 hours is at the rate of $30.00 an hour.  There is a required 150 minimum guest count for all on-site menus.

d.  APPETIZER BAR:  Frequently there is a lengthy delay from the time the guests arrive to the time the Bridal party arrives.  Many hosts request a small appetizer bar to satisfy this waiting period.  We will present a Chef's Choice selection of three to four of the following items:  Cheeses with Entertainment Crackers, Meatballs, Cocktail Franks, Fresh Cut Vegetables or Fruits, Salsas with Tortilla Chips and so forth.  Price $2.50 extra per person.
