Food, Food, Drinks, and More Food!

 

 

This gorgeous couple didn’t hesitate for a moment when checking out our extensive menus and wanted only the best for their friends and family to eat on their wedding day.

 

 

As guests arrived for the rooftop ceremony at Deck 655, they were invited to enjoy a Summer-inspired Welcome Drink we call the Watermelon Cucumber Cooler!

This revitalizing cocktail was perfect for enjoying the early Summer day on the sunny Patio Ampitheater where guests sat in anticipation for the ceremony.

For those who were seeking a non-alcoholic option, our rosemary, mint, cucumber, lemon water hit the spot!

 

After some more delicious cocktails from the two separate bars, our skilled team served dinner from three food stations!

Danny and Samantha chose some of our favorites, including our luxurious Lobster Mac ‘n Cheese paired with a crunchy Garlic Toast Point.

We also served our Spinach and Artichoke Mini Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with our famous Creamy Tomato Bisque.

Finally, their guests gobbled down our Crispy Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin Skewers served with Caribbean Vegetables and our Jamaican BBQ Sauce!

 

 

Creative Affairs, Inc. was the coordinator for the event, and it was terrific to work with such talented coordinators.

We love how they were able to set up such a clever layout for this moving style reception!

 

 

J Design Florals incorporated fresh, simple, yet stunning floral arrangements with tropical inspiration on all the tabletops.

 

 

After dinner, we served EVEN MORE food, and our excited staff scooped guests off the dance floor for some ice cream at the sundae station!

A perfect Late Night Snack circulated the party about an hour before the dancing ended, just in case anybody had room for Mini Root Beer Floats and Pizza Bites.

 

 

Flour Power baked up a beautiful four-tiered masterpiece for the happy couple which our staff served to the guests as well!

 

 

We were so honored to be with Danny and Samantha on their special day.

They were a lovely couple who were so fun and sweet!

We wish them only the best for their future together.

 

 

Thanks to True Photography for all these incredible pictures! And Thanks to all of the other vendors who helped this day go so smoothly!

Decadent Dessert Displays! | Dessert Options | San Diego Catering

For some, a cake isn’t all it’s cut out to be.

 

 

Dessert trends have been pointing away from classic tiered cakes, with their overly sweet inaccurate count issues,

and towards experimenting with smaller portions or varieties of treats as options for guests.

 

 

Donuts in particular over the last few years have rocketed off the charts in popularity!

Honestly, who can resist fried dough covered in sugar?

 

 

Especially when it can come this personalized!!

 

 

Cupcakes can offer different options for your guests as well.

Instead of ordering one layer of cake hoping and worrying about anybody’s dietary restrictions,

ordering cupcakes allows for specific numbers of different flavors to please everyone.

 

 

Cookies, brownies, lemon bars, candies, and any other sugary concoction can also go on a dessert station.

Choose your favorite, and go wild!

 

 

We love seeing couples get creative with their choices.

Just ask for ideas on how best to display all of your treats!

Modern Twist on Traditional

 

Jessica and Dave had a modern take on a traditional Filipino wedding ceremony and reception at the quietly stunning Martin Johnson House.

 

 

Jessica and her Bridesmaids all glowed!

The gorgeous rose gold dresses, styles customized to fit each individual’s personality, were such a complimentary color to the bright pops of purple.

 

 

To shake things up a bit, Dave had two Groomswomen!

He and the rest of the Groomsmen wore more traditional Filipino outfits, breezy formal and transparent button-down shirts.

 

 

Once the Bridal Party was all together, they painted a beautiful picture of rose gold, creams, plums, and lavenders.

 

 

The ceremony was out on the front lawn overlooking the sea and the day couldn’t have been more beautiful!

 

 

A traditional Filipino wedding ceremony is often conducted in a Catholic Church, but they incorporated many aspects of that traditional ceremony to theirs so as to bring forth the traditional values into their marriage.

 

 

 

 

In the black and white picture below, we see the Bride and groom wearing a garland of flowers.

This garland was woven into a circle and placed over their heads in an infinity symbol to represent their lasting promise to each other.

 

After the ceremony, the happy couple was able to escape to take some quiet time for themselves where Aldous Photography worked their magic and caught some priceless moments.

 

 

 

 

The Martin Johnson House has access to some of the most breathtaking spots to look out over the ocean.

 

 

Jessica and Dave chose to go with a rustic, vintage motif for their decor and we love all these tiny details!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The many custom doorknobs and lace were such a delicate and thoughtful touch!

 

Thankfully for Jessica and Dave, they had a brilliant Coordinator, Jenna Carino,  to help them achieve their vision!

 

 

 

After dinner, instead of cake, Dave and Jessica wanted to further celebrate the Filipino culture

by having us serve their guests with a colorful mix of desserts!

 

 

 

We provided an ice cream sundae station with coconut ice cream and a mountain of exciting toppings for each guest to serve themselves.

 

 

Dave’s family also brought traditional home-made Filipino desserts!

 

Everything was lovely and we felt so honored to be chosen to help spend this special day with Jessica and Dave!

 

 

We wish them all the best!
