Casual Gourmet: A+: Sarah from CG was there to help whenever I needed her. My husband and I are vegetarian and wanted our wedding to be as well. We had a number of amazing choices and decided upon a three station spread. Our guests raved about the quality of food. Not only was it exceptional and diverse, it all flowed together from salads to middle eastern to italian. Our cupcakes were adorable and vegan as well! During our photo shoot we were served appetizers and we loved their willingness to set up a beverage station next to our ceremony location- we didn’t want to overheat our guests. I was moving and starting a new job all at the same time as my planning, and Sarah wrote back to me within hours of any message I sent to her. What a relief!
