Sunday Funday- Caterer Tasting!

It's Sunday Funday!  I've had a bit of a boring week when it comes to doing "fun" things.  I did have one event that I went to that Nick and I enjoyed.

We went to a catering tasting for our wedding!  Well, technically it wasn't for our wedding specifically, but rather a group of other couples.

It was held at Misselwood, which is where Fiancé and I are getting married.  Instead of doing it in the tent, though, we had it in the actual mansion.  And it was BEAUTIFUL!  It was decorated for Christmas with a tree in the front hallway, and the lighting was just perfect.  

I was a little nervous heading in because I had woken up that morning with half my face completely clogged up from a cold or virus or infection or SOMETHING. Either way, by 6pm, I still couldn't smell anything, and I was beyond tired.  I was nervous that I perhaps might not get the full flavor of the food since I wouldn't be able to smell it, but fortunately, it didn't matter.  As we started to be served food, all the flavors came through perfectly.  

Without getting into the food, though it was AMAZING and I think we've decided on a caterer, the experience itself was unique.  The owner of the company was there, explaining the food and giving tips on how to plan a wedding.  I was particularly impressed that the chef came out to say hello.  I was even more impressed when we were told that he was a certified butcher and all the cuts of meat were cut specifically by him.  As a foodie, and someone who has worked in restaurants and a country club that catered events, I was impressed.

The couples we sat with were all very nice.  Come to find out we are all getting married in August!  One couple was even getting married the Friday before us!  One couple had brought their parents, and the parents happened to live in the same city as us.  All I had to do was mention the well-known coffee shop by our apartment, and they started gushing about it!  As terrible as I was feeling, it was nice that the mother of the future bride carries the conversation a bit.  I was also very grateful to have Fiancé by my side.  He's going to be awesome at helping me with wedding stuff (don't tell him I said that though!). It's nice to have him want to be involved and want to make the decisions with me.  

The evening ended with us tasting cakes, and then we headed out to go home.  The owner sent us off with cookies (which were DELISH!) and Fiancé and I walked away feeling super full, and super happy!  

I hope everyone had a bit of fun in their week as well!
