Wonderful Owner & Food

We absolutely loved working with the owner, Melanie! She was a pleasure to speak with before and during the wedding. Out of all of the vendors hired, she gave me the most confidence in her abilities, followed through, and made sure everything went smoothly. The food was delicious! We ordered our wedding cake through another vendor, but Melanie was the one to take the cake out of the fridge or we would've completely forgotten! Even though we were running behind on our cake cutting, she stayed later to make sure the cake was cut. Highly recommend!

Since 2006, I've been passionate about running a full-service event planning business. Parties have always been my thing! From designing beautiful invitations to ensuring everything is perfectly set up for the event (well, maybe not so much the cleaning part), seeing guests have an amazing time and enjoying delicious food brings me incredible joy. It truly makes my dream come true to help hosts create the perfect event.

When it comes to food, it's my love language. With my catering services, I take great pleasure in nourishing hearts, minds, and bodies with delightful morsels and delectable bites of handcrafted meals that are full of flavor.

Let me help you create a memorable and enjoyable event!
