We recently had Ranch do the catering for our wedding reception (for 200 guests) at Marina Village, and they did a great job. We worked with Rhonda Wick, and she was awesome in helping us plan. Ranch did our food, cakes, flowers and decoration and it was all perfect! Since we had so many guests, Rhonda even suggested having a small cake at each table as the centerpiece. This saved us a lot of money, and it looked fantastic.
Ranch gave us a wonderful tasting of their food, and it was all great, but we went with a buffet with chicken in a wine sauce and a beef carving station for the main courses. They have a large selection of items so you can really have the food exactly the way you want. Our guests all loved the food and said it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding.
A quick tip for brides on a budget who like the tall glamorous floral look for their reception. A great way to achieve the look without breaking the bank is to alternate the tall floral pieces with some shorter centerpieces. Hydrangeas are available year round in variations of colors and a great way to bring volume and elegance to any arrangement.
Don’t Be Picky
You may have to compromise with your floral decorations if you are on a tight budget; this is especially true with your flowers choices. Be open to several different types when it is time for you to choose. If you decide to buy your flowers from a local florist, tell the florist your budget and see what types of flowers they propose. Be open to the suggestions.
