Best Catered Events owner, Dianne Evans and Team Member, Stephanie Brown joined area vendors for an evening of mingling and sharing information at the beautiful Camelot Club in downtown Baton Rouge.
Having never been to the facility, we were given a tour by Lauren Fournerat, the Catering Director for the facility. The view is awesome and we thoroughly enjoyed the food provided by the wonderful chefs and staff this evening. The bar and wait staff also did an excellent job.

Thomas-Vidrine Wedding - Loyd Hall - December 17, 2011
Lindsie Vidrine married the love of her life surrounded by their families and close friends on Saturday, December 17, 2011 at the beautiful Loyd Hall in CENLA.
The evening before, the groom's parents hosted a rehearsal dinner for the couple where the well wishes flowed and an enjoyable time was enjoyed by family and friends. The rehearsal itself, was beautiful in the crisp evening air out in front of Loyd Hall.
Guests enjoyed appetizers of voodoo cheese cones and phyllo crab cups while waiting for the bride and groom to enjoy their first dances. Once opened the buffet offered up a crowd pleasing menu of Shrimp and
Grits, Blackened Chicken Alfredo, Smoked Beef Brisket and Ham with freshly baked rolls, ham and asparagus rolls, cheesey asparagus bites, warm caramel with apple slices and warm chocolate fondue with fresh fruit, marshmallows and cookies as dippers. Our Holiday Punch was also enjoyed by those wishing to not partake in the bar manned by Loyd Hall.
There was a coffee and hot cocoa station set up outside under the pavillion where we featured coffee with several toppings and cocoa with chantilly cream, peppermint dust, chocolate shavings, hazelnut syrup, vanilla syrup and amaretto syrup. There was a chill in the air and this station was quite popular. The bride told me that she loved chocolate and I think she made a great choice for her Winter Wedding.
Best Catered Events wishes the newlyweds all the best!

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!

At Last.....my love will come along.. Glenda Fortenberry and Randy Thomas pledged their love before an intimate gathering of their families and closest friends on Saturday, July 23, 2011 at the lovely Victorian located on Hwy 10 in St. Francisville, LA.
The couple chose this location as the backdrop for the ceremony and reception. As guests arrived and entered the home, they were greeted by Best Catered Events team member, Verlin Wickel serving fresh Southern Peach Tea and Garden Cucumber water. The temperature was in the high 90's and the couple wanted their guests to be relaxed and comfortable. It had rained off and on all afternoon, so everyone was anxious to get inside.
Immediately following the ceremony, the newlyweds and their friends were served appetizers of mini crawfish pies and "voodoo cheese in mini smoked cones" by team members Verlin Wickel and Stephanie Brown. These two ladies are very valuable members of the Best Catered Events team and as always were their attentive and friendly selves and did an awesome job.

Nannette Mayhall provided a lovely wedding cake that everyone loved. It was so beautiful with the white chocolate curls and a dessert assortment of chocolates for the groom's table. Best Catered Events owner, Dianne Evans, wishes to thank Janice MacDonald, Manager of the Victorian St Francisville, for her assistance in making the day flawless. Glenda and Randy......your Best Catered Events team wishes you all the best in your new married life.....all we can say is..............A T ....... L A S T !!!

The "Landry Tini"
Saturday, October 17, 2009
Moreauville, LA @ Le Manior Fleuri
Carolyn Decuir and Kevin Landry Reception
What a beautiful setting for this reception. I am very sad to report that the memory card on my camera will not let me retrieve the pictures that were taken.
We did a very different look with banana leaves under each chafer, wheatgrass and red apples. The guests enjoyed several passed appetizers and a full premium bar featuring the "Landry Tini" created by our bar staff especially for Carolyn and Kevin on their special day.
Salmon Mousse on a clear slipper spoon, voodoo cheese dip served in a mini martini, ham and asparagus roll ups served on an aster dish, mini crawfish pies served on gold mirrors covered by banana leaves, a grazing table of fruit, cheeses, and crudite which converted to a candy bar for the second half of the evening.
The bride loves chocolate strawberries....I had the kitchen staff create a strawberry "tree" which was presented to the bride and groom at their special table. She loved it!
Hopefully, the photographer will have photos to share with me and I will be able to post them here.
