Sample Menus

Seven starting points, all of them yours to change

These are the menus guests ask for most. Treat them as a starting point rather than a fixed list — courses, dishes, and portion styles are all adjustable, and dietary needs are planned in from the start. Pricing depends on the number of courses, the dishes you choose, and your guest count, so every quote is built for your event.
