Diva Don't of the Day




When selecting menus from vendors, don't just pick from the choices they offer on their website or handouts---ask the Chef to help customize your event menu! This can include using more seasonal ingredients and flavors, accomodating any allergies and also just being more creative! Also ask the chef if regular menu items can be presented in new ways: small plates, miniture burgers or beef wellingtons, soup in shot glasses, etc. Mini-stations are a great alternative to a plated dinner, but ensure your guests will leave with full tummies!
