AW Menu from Emily's Catering (XP to Aug 12 and MB)

We could not be happier with Emily's Catering!  We have re-tooled our menu a bit, and they've been super accomodating.  They told us to pick 4 out of the 8 stations they suggested, but when I gave feedback, they are giving us 5 stations, and several of them are hybrids of 2 stations.  So we're getting a TON of food!  And  it's more than I could have dreamed in terms of the quality of ingredients and the plenthora of options.  Soooo happy!  I want to eat it NOW!
 
I think this menu has enough options for carnivores, vegetarians, picky eaters, bland & spicy lovers alike!

So here's our menu:

Ahi Tuna Taco

  • We are using Emily's too and I couldn't agree more, I feel like we are getting a TON of food for the price we are paying.

    Also, just realized our weddings are 1 day apart! :)

    That's too funny!  Where are you getting married?

    I haven't done the tasting yet, have you?  My parents checked out a wedding that they catered at our venue, the Branford House, and tried some of the food and raved about it.  But we live in Miami, so we won't get to try it until we do the tasting in June!
