Weddings
Wedding dinners rooted in seasonal blooms.
I work directly with local farmers and ranchers to build menus around what's at its peak, creating meals that celebrate the season rather than following a fixed menu. Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner or a larger celebration, every menu is crafted to reflect your story and the landscape you're celebrating in.
My favorite weddings feel less like traditional catered events and more like the best dinner party you've ever attended. Dinner unfolds slowly over multiple courses, with big platters passed around the table, glasses refilled, and plenty of time for conversation and speeches in between. Family-style dinners are at the heart of what I do, but menus can also be designed for plated service or a combination of the two.
Good food has a way of bringing people together. My goal is to make dinner a celebration within the celebration — a meal your guests will remember long after the last plate has been cleared.
“The whole evening was centered around the dinner. Throughout the entire process, Will was collaborative, creative, organized, and quelled all my worries about the ‘big day.’ His team brought so much joy and energy, and the food reflected that love and intention. Five months later and my guests have not stopped talking about the delicious and colorful locally grown food. Will delivered not just a meal but an experience my husband and I will remember for a lifetime.”

Every celebration is different. I can make your dinner, or create the entire food experience — from a generous cocktail hour of passed bites and grazing tables through a multi-course dinner, wedding cake, and dessert.
The setting is part of the experience, too. I love working in unconventional venues — farms, private properties, gardens, barns, and places that weren't necessarily designed to host a catered dinner.
A commercial kitchen isn't required; my team can build out what we need and handle food service from start to finish. Some of my favorite meals happen in simple, beautiful places where the landscape becomes part of the table.
And I'm happy to travel. I cater weddings throughout Michigan and California and can travel anywhere for the right celebration, with a travel fee based on location and the needs of the event.
Every wedding dinner includes
A menu created just for you — shaped by your tastes, your celebration, and the best of what farmers and ranchers in the region are growing that week.
Your choice of how dinner unfolds — from an abundant, multi-course family-style feast that stretches into the evening to a beautifully composed plated dinner.
A connection to the people who grew your food — you'll receive a complete list of the farms, ranches, and producers that made your meal possible.
Thoughtful planning from beginning to end — we'll meet ahead of your wedding to dream up the menu together and shape dinner around the larger vision and timeline of your day.
A team to bring it all to life — warm, attentive service that makes the evening feel generous, relaxed, and effortless.
A meal rooted in place — wherever we're cooking, your menu draws inspiration from the season and agricultural landscape around us.
“Will prepared a spectacular multi-staged dinner for my daughter's destination wedding. The food was extraordinary and the presentation was a work of art. From our first exploratory meeting to the last slice of angel food cake served to our delighted guests was a joy. Will is fun, professional, and a culinary genius with a can-do attitude.”
