Starters: Grilled Pear, Bacon, and Goat Cheese Salad with Port Vinaigrette
Ready, set, salad! A fresh salad is a great option as a starter meal at your wedding. It helps guests prepare their palates for the fusion of delicious flavors to come. Our favorite salad choice from our catering menu is the Grilled Pear, Bacon, and Goat Cheese Salad with Port Vinaigrette. This dish infuses several different flavors to create a cohesive and delicious salad. Pair with a tangy vinaigrette to give the dish that fresh, light feeling for spring.

Dessert: Passion Fruit Macarons
Ahhh.. dessert, how I love thee! When your guests get to the dessert portion of your wedding they’re hoping for a sweet treat to get them energized to hit the dance floor. Instead of presenting just a cake option try adding another dessert dish perfect for spring: Passion Fruit Macarons. If you’ve never tried a macaron, you haven’t been living — seriously! This airy, sweet-flavored dessert is actually two soft meringue cookies pressed together with a ganache filling. Macarons come in a variety of flavor varieties. Our favorite for spring is the, equally visually appealing as it is tasty, Passion Fruit Macaron. Your guests will love this dessert, trust us!
