"SEA STARS At Los Angeles-based Good Gracious! Events, the traditional charcuterie board is more surf than turf at seafood charcuterie stations, which feature an array of seafood selections including house-smoked, grilled or cured presentations of Alaskan king salmon, Baja sea bass, lobster and prawns. Sauces include pink peppercorn, tartar with sriracha, chipotle cocktail sauce, mustard dill aioli, and champagne shallot mustard. Heirloom tomatoes, capers, white anchovies, cucumber, cornichons, whipped labneh cheese, and ciabatta and multigrain toasts round out the station." - via The Special Event

We are so excited Pauline Parry had the opportunity to share her insight on the '10 Creative Wedding Food Ideas for Your Memorable Celebration.'



"In an age where “foodie” is a well-known term and eaters take post-worthy pics of their meals before digging in, fare has become elevated at events too. Guests love the new and the next. We checked in with top caterers across the nation to gather the latest trending wedding food ideas, and — unlike our favorite fancy restaurants — they delivered! From spirit tasting stations to cheesemongers, here’s our list of current wedding food trends that will wow your friends and family." - via PartySlate

"Wedding trends are beginning to evolve that couples are looking more and more to truly ‘making it their own’ with foods chosen from where they met, childhood memories, or dishes they like to eat together,” says Parry of Good Gracious! Events. A recent couple the team worked with was obsessed with white truffles, so much so that they chose a wedding date when truffles were in season. “We served them on ricotta, spinach agnolotti pasta — then again on soft scrambled eggs at their brunch the following day,” says Parry. Another example is a recent groom whose family has a restaurant that makes delectable pies, which the couple served instead of a wedding cake."
