HOW IT WORKS
Over the years we have built a strong relationship with Pinetree Catering and they are the exclusive caterer for our space. Pinetree has developed a menu to suit every bride and grooms need. When going over the menu items, think of them more as a guideline. If there is something you dream of let us know and we will do our best to make it a reality. Send us a message on our contact page to get a quote for your wedding.
Below you will notice our menu is broken down into three sections. All of our sections are priced out per person. The beginnings section is “Appetizers – Boards – Pizzas”. Our amazing staff will meander throughout your guests during cocktail hour and serve delicious appetizers and pizzas. In addition, our awesome team can create amazing boards allowing your guests to help themselves.
After cocktail hour, dinner will be served. In the middle section is our “Dinner Menu Options”. We have created three menu options and each option contains at least one salad, vegetable, starch, and meat. If there is an option that you don’t see, let us know and we can customize a dinner menu for you. We do not bake wedding cakes but if you want we would be glad to recommend one of our baker friends. Let us know if you will be bringing a cake and we can set it up for a fee. If you decide to bring your own dessert, there is a fee of $1/guest. This fee includes compostable plates, cutlery, and napkins.
The last section of our menu has been created if you are looking for a non traditional dinner service. We have added a whole roasted meat section to fit our homestead lifestyle. A chef will roast, carve and serve on site with all the fixings. Whole roasted meats are dependent on availability from Farmers.
Pinetree has permanently parked their Localmotion food truck on site. You and your guests can take a break from the dance floor and enjoy some tasty hand held snacks. Late night food will be mandatory when creating your wedding menu. We need to provide food for your guests if alcohol is being served under the AGCO guidelines.
