Style Me Pretty Featured Wedding at the Adamson House in Malibu, CA

This lovely wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty not too long ago. We catered this wedding at the Adamson House back in September of last year and absolutely loved all of the special details that the bride and groom put together.

Weddings are always reason for joy and celebration. This wedding was no different. From the moment we met the beautiful couple, we knew this would be a special wedding.

What made working with this couple an enjoyable experience was their knack for good design, and a sharp vision of what they wanted. Very straight forward, they told us what style of dinner service they wanted, a family style dinner, and the floor plan they envisioned for their big day. Harvey was amazing and even sent over a visual design for the rental company to see!

From a caterer's standpoint, working at the Adamson House is no easy feat. It takes a lot of planning and collaboration from your rental company and the bride and groom, as well as an amazing team of people (servers, chefs and coordinators) to put everything together. For the bride who wants the freedom to customize and DIY their wedding, the Adamson House is the perfect beautiful beach venue. You are allowed to bring any vendors of your choice, no restrictions! Any bride and groom should be aware, however, that as a California State Park, there are rules and regulations that need to be respected. Also, this venue does not have a kitchen for your caterer to work out of. What is the solution? To build the kitchen. This will require you to rent a tent with lighting, prep tables, a commercial gas range stove or two (depending on your head count and menu) and simple protective floor covering (per the Adamson House's regulations). The Adamson House provides a wonderful large area that is used for kitchen prep area where everything is set up and out of sight from your guests. Once all the details get taken care of however, the result is a beautiful and unforgettable wedding.

For Harvey and Sophie, we provided a family style dinner service which included, a sit-down salad course - field greens with candied walnuts, dried cranberries, crumbled feta & raspberry vinaigrette, grilled salmon with orange ginger sauce, lemon chicken with light lemon caper sauce, bowtie pasta with eggplant, zucchini, and diced tomatoes, roasted acorn squash with slivered almonds, as well as fresh baked rolls & squaw bread with butter. We also stationed some fresh fruit and vegetable crudites & dip for guests to help themselves to. They also had tray-passed hors d'oevures during cocktail hour. We passed crab and gouda stuffed mushrooms, mini beef wellingtons, sweet & sour meatballs and split pea soup shots with grilled cheese skewer. As part of our services we also set up a pre-ceremony greeting beverage station with water and lemonade and coffee during the reception. Our team provided all the china, glassware and flatware and helped to arrange all of the place settings at the tables.

A great team of vendors worked together to make this wedding a fun and memorable day for the bride groom and their guests. We were happy to be a part of this special day - life is full of celebrations and we are lucky that in this line of work we get to share these incredible moments with our clients.
