As we move through a busy wedding season, it is refreshing to see couples put so much thought and care into their rehearsal dinner decor, mood and of course, their food! With Our Mobile Kitchen, Vibrant Occasions Catering has the ability to cater exquisite dinners virtually anywhere. Our team has noticed that Our Mobile Kitchen comes in so handy for clients wishing for a dinner under the stars whether it is in their own backyard, a park or we have even catered a lovely wedding in a cow pasture (true story!). It was such a pleasure catering this rehearsal dinner for Julie and Ellie at their riverfront home in Heber Springs, Arkansas. This rehearsal dinner was led by the fabulous Christa Wilkins with JLK Weddings.
“Planning with these two was a blessing. They were fun and open! Through the events these two made sure that myself and my husband, Dom, were just as comfortable as their guests. We had the best time eating and socializing with all of their family and friends. I enjoyed hearing about their rugby days, med school, traveling adventures and how these two were smitten from first sight. After 17 years together, this weekend full of festivities seemed perfect to celebrate their commitment. To know these two is to love them and I’m pretty fond of them,” says Christa Wilkins with JLK Weddings.
