I got married when I turned 25 and until now could barely imagine anything more stressy. But catering a wedding is right up there! So many details, so many things you want to be perfect for the client. I’m counting down one week until the first wedding catered by Simple Social Kitchen and boy… wish me luck!
Well, scratch that… I’m already lucky. First of all the clients are a dream. Both tastings have gone well and all adjustments have made sense for all of us. Secondly, I love the menu and feel very comfortable with the dishes, mostly crossing fingers on the scaling everything for 110 people. Third, I’ve found a tremendous crew to help me cook and serve, all of whom are either friends or fellow grads of the Natural Gourmet Institute (or both!).
The main issue of anxiety happens to be New York City centric. Living here is a blessing in so many ways because we have access to incredible products of all kinds, but damn… coordinating them and getting around NYC for drop offs and pick ups can be a hassle. This is the area where I’ll need your luck wishes!
Here’s the menu were doing. Hopefully we’ll do many more in the future!
