In keeping with the theme we chose a combination of traditional comfort foods with a "Mini" twist.A stationary display was set up with classic breakfast items such as shot glasses of french toast sticks with a vanilla maple syrup, mini bagels sandwiches with egg, John Serockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18070377161061113830noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602766049477696472.post-20900310434722654912011-12-08T05:15:00.000-08:002011-12-09T04:05:24.089-08:00Caitlyn and JeffI met with Caitlyn this past September 29th. Caitlyn came to me with a unique situation. Her mom was suffering with cancer and not getting any better. Not knowing how long her mother had to live, Caitlyn and her finace Jeff had decided on having a small backyard wedding at Caitlyn's parents house in Coatsville, so that her mom would be able to attend the ceremony and if she wasn't feeling up toJohn Serockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18070377161061113830noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602766049477696472.post-72394380689645222822011-10-04T05:04:00.000-07:002011-10-04T09:33:06.399-07:00Jennifer and PatrickThis past Saturday we made our return to Hilltop House in Devon for our first of 2 weddings we are catering there this month. The plan called for a 5:30 ceremony in the courtyard followed by cocktails on the back patio and dinner in the Great Room at 7:00. For the second week in a row, grey skies loomed above just as we had finished setting up for the ceremony.

On Saturday September 24, 2011 we had the pleasure of working with Sue and Chris for their backyard wedding at their home in Malvern. From our initial meeting Chris and Sue both stressed that because they were having at their home, they wanted it to feel like a big party, that more than likely would go into the wee hours. The plan was for the ceremony to be held on their back patio and then John Serockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18070377161061113830noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602766049477696472.post-28223869993003237292011-09-21T08:11:00.000-07:002011-09-21T08:11:54.619-07:002010 Events2010 EventsJohn Serockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18070377161061113830noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602766049477696472.post-30000104881296828562011-06-16T09:51:00.000-07:002011-06-16T10:24:25.333-07:00Aimee and BobbyOn May 7th we have the pleasure of working with aimee and Bobby for their wedding at Greystone Hall. Although we do countless weddings each year and everyone becomes special to us, this wedding has some very special sinificance for us.

I met with the couple in late Spring and they told me it would be a very intimate wedding..24 Guests. While most of our events, weddings specifically, our usually in the 100's, it's a nice change of pace when catering to a smaller group.

One of the challenges we normally encounter working at the winery is trying to come up with innovative, trendy menus to complement their vast selection of wines.
