"We have been having a lot of fun this year collaborating with our clients on the things they love and how they can express their ideas through food," says Dianne Martin of Park Avenue Catering in Cotati, California. "Stations are an excellent way to convey that message and share a couple’s favorite food memories with their guests. A recent couple really wanted to maintain a casual, relaxed atmosphere with a gastropub vibe. The menu was created to highlight a primarily seafood and vegetarian focus, while offering plenty of options."
A special thank you to Dianne Martin of Park Avenue Catering in Cotati, California for providing this menu.
