Selecting our caterer was a relatively easy part of wedding planning for us. Our venue has three 'preferred' caterers that we can choose from and I requested menus and pricing from all three. When I called one caterer in particular, Joe Suminski from Gerard's Catering, I was overwhelmed by the passion he had for his dishes! I think we spend a good 20 minutes on the phone while he went over some of the dishes on his menu.
My fiance and I met with Joe for a tasting at a wedding reception being held at the Opera House soon after that. He set-up a table for us in the back to try some of the extras from the buffet line. It was nice to be able to take a peek through the door at how our venue was set-up. At one point, the bride even came into the back room and I felt a bit intrusive eating her food back there. But she commented that she had done the same thing at someone else's wedding, so she understood.
We tried two appetizers - brushetta and veggie crescent squares. Then we each had a Michigan salad with dried cherries and pinenuts. The main course was apricot-lime grilled chicken breast, roast beef with a side of horseradish, roasted potatoes, and green beans almondine. (Sorry there's no photos of the yummy food for you to look at!) We were impressed! We just found ourselves a caterer for the wedding!
