One of the sweetest trends we’ve been seeing is a new spin on the “Mr. and Mrs.” chairs. In San Antonio, brides often opt for the “sweetheart table” – a table at the head of the room for the newlyweds. However, we absolutely love the “Mr. and Mrs.” chair decor that can take a wide variety of forms to signify the reserved seats for the host and hostess.

Check out some recent weddings from across the country – perhaps you can incorporate this idea into your upcoming wedding! Give us a call, we’re here to help plan your reception – 210/340-1770.

Last weekend we provided full service catering for a gorgeous wedding at the AT&T Community Centre at San Fernando Cathedral. This spacious, modern event space is perfect for weddings of varied sizes – including this lively 300 person wedding celebration.

The bride selected black and ivory linens, accented with single red roses in small cylinder glass vases with floating votive candles. Gold chargers added a touch of elegance.

Our catering staff included bartenders and a margarita machine. Following cocktails, the menu included:

Grilled marinated beef and chicken fajitas
served with warmed corn and flour tortillas

Choice of pico de gallo, sour cream, frilled sweet peppers and onions
cheddar and monterrey cheeses, salsa verde and picante salsa

Served alongside beans a la charra and mexican style rice

Freshly brewed iced tea and premium coffee

We recently had the fortune to cater a National Association of Catering Executives, San Antonio dinner and cocktail reception at Rio Plaza in downtown San Antonio. Our full service catering package included bartending services, coffee bar, linens, reception tables on the patio and floral centerpieces.

The three-course seated dinner menu consisted of:

Tomato Salad
Sliced tomatoes topped with feta cheese, capers and light vinaigrette dressing served over mixed greens

Chicken Roulade
Our tender breast of chicken, hand-rolled with fresh spinach and feta cheese.
Finished with a roasted red pepper sauce and served with garlic mashers and fresh grilled asparagus.

Peach Cobbler a la mode
Our homemade peach cobbler served with cinnamon ice cream

A coffee bar was also provided – giving guests to option to customize their latte or freshly brewed coffee to their preference. Cappuccino, anyone?

If you are interesting in our catering services at Rio Plaza or elsewhere throughout San Antonio, give us a call at 210/340-1770 to schedule a consultation with one of our event specialists.
