Station Elation

We love a happy wedding with great company, excellent music and delicious food. We were recently honored to see a bride and groom come together to exchange their vows in the backyard of their gorgeous country home.  They chose to have a variety of food stations to keep the guests mingling throughout the reception. Their station selections included salad, carved tenderloin and kebobs.

The salad was a light summer salad of fresh mozzarella and candied pecans over fresh mixed field greens. The salad station also offered fresh assorted rolls with whipped butter.

Kebobs are a fun, summery way to display food that is still easy to pick up and enjoy while socializing. Kebobs can give you multiple options for ingredients while offering something for everyone.

A carving station offers the opportunity for guests to be served the amount they think is appropriate, when they are ready. This station also serves the sides to accompany the main course. The bride and groom chose asparagus tips and roasted red bliss potatoes.

Stations can bring a more relaxed feel and pace to an event while still providing a lavish display to impress your guests. These stations captured the exact feel that the bride and groom were aiming for.

Best of luck to the new husband and wife!

Bringing the Restaurant to Your Home

A little peek into the behind-the-scenes of what we do at J. Scott…

As an off premise caterer, we figuratively and literally bring a fully operating restaurant to your home.  One of the things that makes our company unique is our refrigerated trucks, which enables us to bring fresh foods to the event site.  Basically, we transport the prepared food to your home for cooking at the event, which provides a fresher end result for you and your guests.  Generally we commandeer the host’s garage and set up our “field kitchen,” where most of the behind-the-scenes operations occur, out of view of the guests.  Our event set up usually begins about three hours before the start of the event.  We conduct a walk through of the space with the staff, then we stage the garage and unload equipment.  We set up the bars, food stations, guest seating and cocktail seating to transform the home into a magnificent event environment.  With time to spare, we do a final walk through to ensure everything is perfect and open the first bottle of champagne for guests to celebrate.
