Chef Prepared Weddings

YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE ABOUT WEDDING FOOD!

(scroll below for the menu)

Made-from-Scratch Buffet Service is the way to go for a Memorable Wedding and here is why...

You're finally getting married! First, Congrats!  It's a special day that requires special attention!  Let's make sure we do it right by never ignoring these lessons we have all learned (and forgotten) over the years. 

By the time you get married, you've been to how many weddings by now?  Likely a good amount.  Do you remember the food from those places?  You probably have to try to think really hard.  Why?  That's because the food always looks great on paper.  However, when it's time for the event, it's mass-produced in a way that isn't spectacular.  If you do remember the food, you likely remember it didn't live up to expectations.  Did you have to tell the Bride & Groom it was still great? Terrible feeling.  They likely overpaid for the food as well!

When you budget for a wedding, you have to remember that times have changed dramatically and the cost of labor/service is two to three times as much as it used to be.  Practical couples are realizing that overpaying for plated service is a big waste of money.  If you have a very small intimate group, plated meals can be great, that's not what we are talking about here. 

When you have a large guest list?  It's a terrible idea!  For large groups, plated meals are usually held in a hot box/heat lamp and it's just not as tasty when you are buying it for 100+ people at once.  On top of it, with the way the cost of labor has increased so much, do you really think they are employing the best of the best to make your food and serve it?  I'll let you decide that for yourself.

Frato’s Personal Chef Catering is a Food-First establishment that trains passionate college culinary students from the start.  We turn them into Certified Personal Chefs!  That means our Personal Chefs and Apprentice Cooks are serious about their career and they sincerely care about making your event the best it can be. 

Since times have changed, the big trend is Buffet-Style Weddings with a Food-First Focus! You can still serve traditional items or you can be more creative.  The more fun you have with the food, the more memorable it will be. 

The best part, every Wedding has a Frato’s Certified Personal Chef and Chef Assistant on-site! 

Be careful what food company you choose to go with for your Wedding or Special Event.  Also, make sure you get a FREE Sampling!  Frato's ALWAYS offers FREE Wedding Samplings so you know what you're getting.  Once we design the menu and we agree with the menu and terms, we can schedule a completely free sampling to prove to you this will be incredible!
