Weddings

Weddings are some of our favorite events at Cooks and Chefs. Our seasoned team of wedding planners, caterers, and chefs ensure that all details are covered so that you can enjoy your special day. Whether your wedding necessitates a formal sit-down dinner or a casual buffet, we promise that you will savor your nuptials.

Plated Dinner: The most formal and traditional of the styles, guests order individually (either at the event or in advance), and servers present the courses. While guests may like this style because they're served at their tables and don't have to wait in line, it is usually the priciest of serving styles because of the extra staff.

Buffet: With this more casual serving style, a buffet station is set up and either guests serve themselves or servers provide the food. Most caterers say it's the least expensive serving style.

Family-Style: Servers provide trays of food to each table, and guests pass the trays around and serve themselves. It can get a little messy, but this serving style's inclusive and casual feeling.

Cocktail-Style: A mix of heavy passed hors d’oevures and food stations. Guests mix and mingle while eating. While older guests might be confused by this "more modern" style of service, you can serve a wide variety of foods, and guests are encouraged to walk around and chat. If you plan wisely, you may spend less money on food.

Cake Cutting Service: The cake-cutting ritual at weddings has withstood the test of time, and many couples still prefer to present the cake with fanfare and excitement. we can provide this service for $1.50 per slice


 We can provide all staff and equipment necessary for your food service needs.​

Bar Service

If you are in the need of bar/bartender service,  COOKS AND CHEFS can staff your event with professional and knowledgeable bar staff that will add a special touch to your event. staff $25 per hour .

Full open bar: A full open bar provides a variety of wines, beer, hard alcohol, and non-alcoholic beverages. The wedding hosts pay for the entire bar, and guests don’t have to shell out any money during the wedding $20 per person

  • Limited open bar: a limited bar may be a worthwhile option. This bar provides wine and beer (and perhaps a single type of hard alcohol), as well as non-alcoholic beverages. Again, the wedding hosts incur the charges for this style of bar but since there isn’t a ton of hard alcohol (which is more expensive), it will be cheaper than a full open bar. $15 per person

  • Cash bar: Guests pay for their own alcohol.
