Choosing the style or theme of your event can be a daunting task. There are endless combinations of colors, motifs, shapes, layouts and themes to choose from. Linens, tables, glassware, flatware, china, flowers, you name it the decisions are endless. So how do you nail down the perfect look. There are different schools of thought on this dilemma. Some think you should pick one object that you really love and build around it to achieve your desired décor. Others suggest choosing colors and finding things that will suit them. However you choose to proceed there are few guidelines and tips to keep in mind to make the process a little easier.
- Talk with a professional- This could be an number of people including your caterer, florist or even your interior decorator. These folks are in business because they have an eye for what goes together and what’s got to go. Bring them your ideas and work toether to create the look you’ve always dreamed of.
- Research styles and décor everywhere- You never know when you will find that right vase or perfect place card holder so always be on the lookout for ideas. We often page though magazines looking at clothes, home décor or food pictures to get ideas for our new favorite décor trend. This includes wedding magazines for those of you getting married because someone may have already done the hard work for you and will be able to tell you the best places to find exactly what you are looking for.
- Keep an open mind- We very often get stuck in the same style set because it is what we are comfortable with. Don’t be afraid to try something new. Test run it at a dinner party and see what people think; you just might surprise yourself with how impressed people are with you design.
In the end your guests will enjoy any look you choose. Have fun with the planning and don’t stress over the little details. It all comes together in the end no matter the path you took to get it together.
Posted April 20th, 2011 by JULSF It is always nice when a photographer shares their work from a wedding we catered. We recently received photos from Paula at Paula Cella Photography and are delighted to link to her blog where you can find the beautiful pictures of Nick and Natalie’s wedding.

Posted April 14th, 2011 by JULSF As we prepare for the Radnor Hunt Races on May 21, 2011 we are working with our new Executive Chef Erin Morrison to create new and exciting menus. Today we had a tasting for one of our clients we will be working with on race day.
Even though we have catered at the races for many years now we continue to push ourselves to be at the forefront of the catering industry in terms of décor and food. We recently revamped our décor warehouse with new stainless steel pieces that accent events with a modern flare. Along with a few new linens we created a buffet with a modern springtime look. Painting the picture of the buffet on the rolling greens at Radnor Hunt is hard when in an office setting with cold and damp weather outside. Flowers, colors and lighting help set the stage, giving our clients a good understanding of what they can expect on the actual day.
The menu was an eclectic mix to excite the palate. Upon arrival guests were treated to an amuse bouche of roasted tomato bruschetta with ricotta & prosciutto. The lunch included espresso rubbed tenderloin of beef with three hour onions, a specialty of Chef Erin’s, with marinated crimini mushrooms with shaved shallots and parmesan. Grilled tandoori shrimp, truffled corn with mushrooms and roasted beet salad with haricot vert, arugula and walnut crusted goat cheese finished off the menu.
The dessert buffet featured our create your own shortcake bar. Grilled pound cake was accompanied by mixed berries, grilled pineapple, grilled bananas, shaved chocolate and homemade whipped cream.
As always we enjoy the opportunity to show our clients that we stand behind our reputation at every event; be it 2 or 200 our quality, experience and professionalism will always shine through.

We have been very fortunate to cater many events at Radnor Hunt the last few years. The historic property is a fantastic wedding venue with an unbeatable view, and charming interior.
We recently catered a wedding for a long-time client on an absolutely picture perfect day.The wedding guests were a fun group who really knew how to enjoy themselves. This was also one of those rare occasions when a best man really knew how to speak and work the audience. I applaud the gentleman, however, 20 minutes on a speech is a little much. The dancing went on till the wee hours and the bride and groom found love at the end of the rainbow.
The cocktail reception features passed hors d’ oeuvres such as Lime Marinated Chicken Bites, Petite Ceasar Salad Croustades, and Forest Mushroom Turnovers.Our chefs created a fantastic sit down menu, featuring Sliced Sirloin of Beef with Gorgonzola Bourbon Sauce and Line Caught Wild Salmon Crusted with Horseradish and Mustard Seeds.
