How do you approach creating custom menus for weddings or special events?
We start by listening. Every couple or client has a story, a vision, and a specific feeling they want their guests to experience. Once we understand that, we tailor a menu around their tastes, dietary needs, and event style. Our chefs enjoy blending classic favorites with a few elevated touches so the menu feels special but still approachable.

Can you share a memorable event or customer moment that really stuck with your team?
Partnering with Vanderbilt University for their Reunion and Homecoming Weekend year after year has been especially meaningful.

How do you approach creating custom menus for weddings or special events?
Creating custom menus is one of my favorite parts of the job, especially when it comes to weddings. Every menu we create is completely tailored to the client. We start with an intake call—always with me, the owner—to understand the couple’s vision, preferences, and priorities. From there, I collaborate with our chefs to design a menu that brings that vision to life. Clients are encouraged to give feedback and request edits until the menu feels perfect for them.
What do you enjoy most about working with couples and clients during their planning process?
I love helping couples blend their individual tastes into one cohesive menu. Different palates are common and can be a fun challenge, but finding that delicious common ground, while ensuring there’s something for everyone, is incredibly rewarding. Being part of a meaningful celebration and helping bring a client’s vision to life through food is what makes this work so special for our team.
How do you approach creating custom menus for weddings or special events?
Food tells a story, and can be such a special way for couples to share details of where they both come from and memories they've made together. We love when we get to collaborate and help make a wedding meal a reflection of that. We've learned items from cuisines around the world and been trusted with quite a few family recipes — it's a fun challenge but also adds so much meaning to our work.
Can you share a memorable event or customer moment that really stuck with your team?
Going back to the question on custom menus, we recently worked with a bride to recreate her late grandpa's lasagna recipe. She knew it by heart and it took us a few tries to get it right, but she told us later that when she took a bite of it on her wedding day she cried because it felt like he was there. Doesn't really get better than that.
What seasonally inspired dishes or ingredients are you loving right now?
Our brand has been very seasonally inspired from the start, with roots in Nashville's farm to table dining scene. At the time of writing this, one of our favorites is a risotto we make with Carolina Gold rice, melted leeks, winter squash + finished with lemon. It's rich, umami and cozy in all the ways we crave in colder months, but the lemon + the fresh herbs we garnish with brighten it up for balance. Can't stop eating it!
