Napa Inspired Wedding Menu

This menu was created for a new client to serve their guests at a wedding reception. They provided us with a great starting point of menu items that they would enjoy and we added a bit of our own flare to the menu.

The different service styles will encourage guests to mingle and chat instead of parking in a seat for the night. We use the service style and location to gently move guests around the venue and create a much more dynamic event that builds life long memories.
