La-tea-da's Catering & Events

Today we are highlighting Anna and James’ Wedding as we reminisce on their 9.18 anniversary!! 💕 Their menu choices were superb, as guests were raving about the food the entire night! From a tiered charcuterie display during cocktail hour, to a full on food carving station featuring NY Strip, Herb Crusted Salmon, a Mashed Potato Bar and Veggies for dinner, and ending the night with a late night snack of Sliders and Fries! Now that’s a party we would want to be at!!
