What Does it Mean to be a Full Service Caterer?

With engagement season upon us, I wanted to share all of our services with you, and exactly what it means to be a full service caterer.

Venue:
When you make us your first call in your wedding planning, not only can we create an exquisite menu custom to your needs, but we can also help you find the perfect venue. There are many in CT that we recommend, and in turn, recommend us. From rustic to elegant, beachy to backyard, there is sure to be something perfect for you!

Menu:
Whether you are hosting a casual BBQ or an elegant plated dinner, Spice Catering has you covered. We can incorporate different elements into your menu to make it truly yours. We often do not send out “packages” because we really like to customize each couples’ menu and not box you in to a cookie cutter meal.

Bar Service:
We have our liquor license! Don’t spend the time and energy trying to figure out how much and which kinds of alcohol to get for your wedding. You also should not worry about the liability that comes with providing alcohol at an event such as this. Let us take yet another thing off your plate.

Rentals:
Having your wedding at a non-traditional wedding venue has many positive aspects to it – your wedding is more unique, they often host one wedding per day or even one per weekend, your vendors have plenty of time to set up and break down, you get to choose who you would like as your caterer, and the list goes on. One thing that is not so great is the fact that you have to rent china, silverware, glassware, linens and so much more you may not have even thought of yet. Don’t stress! We can handle it! Based on your menu, we will know exactly how many of everything we should provide. Let us work with our rental company to determine all of this. And yes, we can provide a tent as well if needed.

Wedding & Event Planning:
Now that you have everything booked for your big day – venue, caterer, photographer, florist, the dress, DJ – we can still help! Our Rehearsal & Day Of services are extremely popular and HIGHLY recommended.

If you DON’T have all of that booked and you are looking for some assistance, we can do that too. Our Full Wedding Planning package will help with everything from booking the venue until your last guest leaves your wedding.

Stuck in the middle somewhere? Let us customize a package just for you. Choose from many a la carte services. If you’re still not sure, you can send Carisa an email at CarisaL@spicecateringgroup.com and set up a consultation.

Happy planning!

– Carisa

 

Jessica & Tim’s Wedding, Chatfield Hollow B&B

This wedding was absolutely stunning. From the beautiful couple, to the breathtaking venue, to the perfectly lighted tent and Pinterest-worthy details. Tim and Jessica were wed at Chatfield Hollow Bed & Breakfast, a little hidden gem in the woods of Killingworth, CT. The B&B is located on Chatfield Hollow Farm, where they grow an organic garden with shiitake mushrooms and so much more. We actually incorporated their mushrooms into the menu of this wedding – so cool!

The owners, Ken and Forrest, are extremely accommodating and helpful. Ken was wonderful with decorating the tent just how the bride envisioned it. He even gave guests a ride to their cars at the end of the night when it was raining! Tema, the innkeeper, is wonderfully hospitable. You truly feel at home when you walk in and he greets you. We look forward to catering many more events here.

Please enjoy these photos from Daphne & Dean.
