Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices

Special dietary needs, including gluten-free and vegan meals, can be incorporated into the seasonal farm-to-fork wedding menu. Listed options include Cauliflower Piccata, Carrots Osso Bucco, Rosemary and Quinoa Stuffed Portobello Mushroom, Spicy Ratatouille, and Gluten-Free Penne with Seasonal Pesto. If your guest list includes a range of dietary needs, these are worth raising with our catering team early.

How wedding tastings work

Group tastings are held annually in February, when couples can sample menu selections and meet vendors. Private tastings are also available. Contact our team to discuss which tasting option applies to your wedding plans.

Signature cocktails and bar selections

We coordinate with professional mixologists and vendors to create personalized cocktails. Couples choose from curated drink menus during tastings, and cocktails are freshly prepared for the wedding day. Bar selections may also include bottled beer, white wine, red wine, sparkling wine, a Prosecco toast, and listed spirits.

Dessert options for the reception

Wedding dessert selections include a Gelato Bar, S'mores by the Fire Pit, the Cecil Creek Farm Dessert Table, a Marshmallow Dessert Table, and individual S'mores Kits. Outside desserts are also allowed, so couples may bring in their own.

Conclusion

A seasonal farm-to-fork wedding menu is easiest to picture once you see the selections next to your own guest list and date. Review our Wedding Menu and Wedding Pricing Guide, then reach out to discuss menu selections, dietary needs, tastings, and beverage options.
