Hi, I’m Gail

For years I have helped my clients with every aspect of planning to cater their own wedding receptions for 25 to 300 guests.

And now all the information I shared with them is available to you.

I have created this online resource to help anyone planning to cater their own wedding using the experience, planning skills, and expertise I gained over the years.  

Plus, I was frequently on-site to help coordinate the receptions, which provided insights unique to a self-catered event.  And, these are significantly different from those with professional chefs and wait staff.

You have probably never done this before and don’t know where to begin

Which is why I have created a step-by-step online guide 

After you have completed the initial stages of your planning using that information you will be ready to progress to the next step. 

You can use the worksheets, tables, schedules, and more that are included in the DIY Planning Guide to guide you every step of the way in planning your event.

Meanwhile, here on my site, I will be focusing on adding more yummy recipes that my clients’ guests love. 

I am so excited about my recipe software because it lets you, my reader, adjust the recipe servings, create menus, save collections and generate shopping lists – right in the computer.  And, you can even add your own recipes. 

You can also open the shopping list on your iPhone or Android while you are shopping and check off the items as you put them in your cart.  

ON THE DRAWING BOARD

Watch for the menus I will be creating for different types of reception appropriate meals with a variety of dishes that can be prepared from one month to one day before the event. 

And then videos to demonstrate arranging the buffet, food presentation and who knows what else.  I am so excited!

 

 

 

WE WANT TO SEE YOUR PICTURES!

After months of planning the big day will finally be over.  And you probably don’t want to even think about all the effort and energy you put into preparing for it.  But, after you catch your breath, we want to see how your reception turned out.  Please send us a picture or two to share on the site.  Psst…you will be entered into our drawing for a $25.00 Amazon gift certificate to buy that little something that someone missed on your registry

Any Questions?

Because your reception is unique, you might have need more information or guidance about a specific issue.   And the answer might even help someone else.
