Fun with Function Central

by

Our friends over at Function Central recently featured us in one of their blogs about Terri & Tom’s Wedding, which we catered. It was a wonderful event, we were thrilled to receive this lovely message from the couple,

“Vanilla in All Seasons – Adam and his team were helpful and efficient. All the guests were raving about the food and how professional the staff were. We had a lot of vegetarians in the family and they made a completely new dish for us, which was delicious!”

Just like many companies based in and around in the Wedding Industry, we have been looking forward to The Wedding Industry Awards for some time now. The event came around and the atmosphere was fantastic, everybody involved was just ecstatic to be there! It’s also a great way for businesses who work in a similar area to one another to network and get to know each other better – which is always nice!

We were so pleased to be nominated for the award of, Best Wedding Caterer in which we were, “Highly Commended” in this category! We would like to thank everybody who took the time to vote for us as it is greatly appreciated! We would like to congratulate the winners of each and every category & also everyone who was nominated! It was a brilliant evening & fantastic to have so much talent from the North West Wedding Industry all together in one room!

Christmas & New Year Events

by

Now, we are aware that we don’t want to be those people who remind you of Christmas when you are busy packing your suitcase to the brim of suncream for your Summer holiday. So, this is why we have waited until the end of September, Autumn time to let you know. However, the Fall is upon us and the weather is starting to get slightly wetter and colder, and the nights are getting longer. But, get ready because we are about to do it… Christmas is on its way!

1962590_10153853352260696_1075550027_n

We are sorry for the reminder that many people don’t like hearing. Now, this isn’t due to people being Grinch-like but because Christmas can be a very busy and stressful time for many – including us! This is why we are reminding you of this wonderful time of the year as we want to cater for your event. we really don’t like having to turn down catering for you as we love providing a high quality service and don’t want people to miss out!

So, if you would like us to cater for your needs over the Christmas and New Year period then do not think that contacting us now is too early. After all, next week we will be in October – the months roll by so quickly! We are more than happy to chat a talk with you and create a bespoke menu for your wants and needs or if you would like to select one of our menus we would be happy to oblige either way.

Why Open Evenings Are Brilliant!

by

Open evenings are not only a great way for businesses such as ourselves to network with others, but they are also beneficial for anyone and everyone!

Fantastic inspiration can be gained from these events and it’s not only venues which hold such parties. at the event expect staff members on hand to answer questions, and help to guide you around the area whilst talking you through anything that you would need to know. So, don’t be afraid to ask questions!

Also it is a great opportunity to meet people, whether they are representing a business or not. Who knows, you could even make some friends! It’s a great chance to spend with family, friends and loved ones. You can also attend fabulous venues and experience them for a small time, for a little taster of what they could arrange for you.

Craik White Wedding 004 email

We love such events and make sure that we are in regular appearance and many of them stretching across the Cheshire and wider Manchester area. Open evenings that we have been to previously have been at many local venues around the area such as, Styal Lodge and Capesthorne Hall.

But the next one that we are getting excited about is being held at the fabulous venue that is of course the stunnig, Capesthorne Hall!
