Thank you 24 Carrots!!!!!
First off, their food is DELICIOUS. We went a little out of the box for our choices (ex: green papaya salad, swordfish instead of typical salmon, mostly vegetarian passed apps), and our guests were all floored with how amazing it all was. Seriously, food was one of our big important things, and the quality for the value is outstanding.
We worked with Morgan and she was incredible. Very sweet, responsive, patient, and she also helped us work through a really difficult change and made it work for everyone! She really made such a stressful time so easy to navigate. Her team on the day-of was fantastic as well. Everyone was so friendly and I never heard of anyone wanting for anything, only how incredible everything was.
24 Carrots was a very big part of making our wedding dreams come true. So glad we chose them, and you will be too!!!
Ps. my advice to any couple getting married: treat those as you'd like to be treated. Of course this process is stressful but if you are patient and ask nicely, you might be surprised how happy people are to help you!
Best wedding + event caterers!
Leading up to our wedding day, the planning was quite simple! We toured the venue and locked in a contract. Shelby kept constant communication with us and accommodated all of our requests.
Shelby met the girls first thing the morning of our event to make sure we were all settled and ready for the day. She checked in periodically and made sure her team had everything handled per the diagrams and orders we locked in prior.
Not only was the set-up and decor 5 Star, but the food was 5 Star too!
At cocktail hour, we offered tray passed Vegetable Crudites, Roquefort Cheese Puff Pastry's (YUM!), Teriyaki Chicken Skewers, and Ahi Tuna Tartare Tacos. We decided to offer a buffet dinner for ease of service and to create a casual experience for our guests! We selected the Luau Buffet which included: baby spinach salad with mandarin oranges, macaroni salad (upgrade), Hawaiian rolls, tender slow-braised short ribs, ginger soy glazed salmon, jasmine rice, and Asian stir-fried vegetables! Dinner was SOOOO AMAZING and our guests are still talking about it. (Absolutely delicious!)
After dinner, we opened up dancing & offered late night snacks and dessert. We had a Nitrogen Ice Cream station which was a total hit! Not only was there ice cream (the bride's favorite), but it offered a little show too! On a beautiful station, we offered mini cheesecake bites, strawberry eclairs, dark chocolate mousse cups and mango-lime parfaits. In addition to dessert, we offered tray passed mini corndogs, onion rings and grilled cheese with tomato soup shooters.
WE WERE IN AW WITH HOW GOOD THE FOOD WAS! I have worked in the event industry providing food and beverage at multiple resorts and so expectations were high. The food provided at our menu tasting was EXACTLY what was provided at our wedding and so there were no surprises.
We appreciate the team at 24 Carrots so much and hope to work with them again in the future!
Thank you all so much for your dedication to the Five Star Experience!
