Matt and Ami McGucken - December 17, 2011, Baton Rouge, LA

Ami Parks married Matt McGucken in the backyard garden of her parents home on Saturday, December 17, 2011 surrounded by family and friends.  A large tent with seating and dance area as well as all of the little seating areas in the yard really led to a comfortable evening for those in attendance. 

Earlier, while this chef/owner was frying the catfish for the tacos in the family kitchen, she witnessed the throwdown challenge between Matt and Ami's father.  Mr. Parks had to eat a fried catfish taco and Matt had to eat pasta noodles with plain tomato soup, right out of the can.  Priceless!  They both bit the bullet, or should I say, the tomato soupy noodle thing and the taco?

Dr. Jazz http://www.drjazzmusic.com/ of New Orleans provided wonderful music.  Alex Harvie, a local  artist painted all evening to capture the special moments.   Melissa McCaa did the cake which was beautiful and the guests said was absolutely wonderful. Doug Olinde provided tables, chairs and tenting with his usual excellent service.
Best Catered Events set up the food on a small deck area.  We served our Shrimp and Cheese Grits, Fried Fish Tacos with homemade tartar sauce, Sweet and Sour Meatballs on Pretzel Sticks, Louisiana Stuffed Crawfish Bread, Brandied Fig and Apricot Torte with Cinnamon Crisp Cookies, mini muffelettos, fire grilled vegetables, mac and cheese with bacon, and our No Evidence Caesar Salad. 

Ami wore the same dress that her mom Marie had worn when she married Ami's dad 36 years ago.  Natasha Marie Bridal altered the dress for Ami with a few changes.  That was a beautifult ribute to a wonderful marriage and the picture of her mom in the dress all those years ago is priceless.














Matt and Ami, we wish you all the best.  Loved your setting and all of  your guests were so nice. Your band was incredible with the seranade to you early in the evening Ami and then your send off in the limo.  WOW....that's all this caterer has to say!

Jessica Partin and Stuart Sonnier - December 10, 2010

Louisiana's Old State Capitol was the location chosen by the bride and groom for their winter reception in Baton Rouge, LA, on Friday, December 10, 2010.

Best Catered Events provided the food and beverages for the evening. Guests arrived to an open bar and passed h'd's chosen by the happy couple for the occasion.  Kyleen Kiger-Smith of Fairy Dust Cakes  made awesome cakes, Cottage Path Florist provided the beautiful  fresh  florals and  Allie Wester of Weddings by Allie coordinated both the wedding and the evening's reception activities.  This crowd loved to dance, and dance they did to the sounds of  The Carbon Copy Band. 

We could tell early on that this crowd would have a good time.  The bride's dad, Mr. Joe Partin, was Best Catered Events owner, Dianne Evans former boss at Zachary High School and we were honored to cater this event for the family.  The night seemed to end almost as quickly as it began.  So many former personnel from ZHS were on hand, it was so good to visit and "catch up".
