Hi all! I just got engaged last week and have started calling places. We are getting married at the Cathedral in May. My fiance's uncle has catered both of his sisters' weddings and my mom is an awesome cook & would really like to contribute to appetizers. I have been having a hard time finding a place that allows outside catering. Marcus Lindsey, Mellwood, & Kaden are all booked. I might look at the Louisville Science Museum? It seems like things go pretty fast in Louisville! I'd appreciate any & all recommendations on places to try. I also recently sat next to a wedding planner on a plane & she said that I could explore "buy out" or "plate up" fees with venues. She was from the San Fran Bay area. I didn't know how this would go over in Louisville. Any advice? I don't want venues to think I'm being rude or to be offended by this.
