We hired Gigi’s Gourmet Kitchen (gigisgourmetkitchen.com) for my daughter’s wedding, and the experience was extremely disappointing. Here’s what happened: - Cocktail Hour Appetizers: Only one tray each of meatballs and eggrolls were served initially — and only after I asked staff to begin circulating. Once those trays were gone, there was a 30‑minute gap with no food. Eventually, one more tray of each item appeared, and that was all that was served for over 100 guests. My grandson and I even had to step in to distribute charcuterie cups ourselves. - - Dinner Service: While the food had flavor, it was served cold. Guests were discouraged from requesting both shrimp and chicken, even though this was never communicated as a limitation. Caesar salads were barely distributed (only about 10–15 guests received one), and asparagus — which was part of the agreed menu — was never served at all. And she admitted they forgot the asparagus! - - Cake Service: We paid for four servers who were contracted to cut and serve the cake, yet no staff assisted. The coordinator had to bring the cake back herself, and my husband and I ended up passing slices to guests. The mother and father of the bride! - - Agreed Details Ignored: To‑go boxes and cake shooters, which we discussed at length beforehand, were not provided. I even shipped the boxes to her location, per her request to have them ready for that night ! and not one was provided. - . At the end of the night, six large trays of food were left over, despite many guests not receiving items during service. As this was a destination wedding, we had no way to store or transport them, and they went to waste. - - Response Afterward: When these issues were raised, the caterer refused to make things right ! She actually has admitted to these mistakes and yet even though she charged me $425.00 in gratuity - which she took the liberty of adding onto the last invoice - has not refunded one penny.

I went to a wedding this weekend and this was at the bar. I loved how the brides and grooms drink were listed as well as the other options. We are not graphic designers! Lol Any tips on where to get this?

My daughter is starting to think about color schemes...what is trending for fall or winter?

What are some ideas for the guest to take w them at the end of the night ? snacks ? Food ?

I just had the BEST call with @Susan Elstner Nini! I’ve been hung up on what I want to do for my bouquet and it’s starting to get down to the wire. I’m so grateful for Susan’s help! She walked me through multiple options to fit my budget and even told me flowers to stay away from because they wilt too quickly. A couple takeaways: - Check out grocery stores that have floral departments. They are licensed florists and sometimes much cheaper than a floral shop. - Hydrangeas wilt very quickly out of water. If you use them have a plan - You can order flowers directly from Sam’s and Costco. Thank for taking the time to walk me through this! 💕💕💕
