From the Couple Gaby & Matt

This is it: our wedding day.

The passion and emotion racing through our minds today is unlike any we’ve ever felt. It feels like a culmination of everything we are, everything we’ve ever known and experienced. We’re ready to share the world with each other. We reflect on what brought us here. We wonder how it was all possible. We feel vulnerable and gracious all in one breath. Yet in the next, we feel safe and self-assured.

This is our wedding day, and it’s about to be the most amazing day of our lives.

The first step is to contact your expert BG Events & Catering wedding planner. We can help you sift through your options for venues, menus and other arrangements. You’ll get the kind of clarity in your wedding vision to begin making it everything you could possibly imagine.

Step One

From the Couple James & Colin

Fourteen months ago, we didn’t know what we would do. Our enthusiasm for being engaged was matched only by the sense of overwhelming anxiety for all the work that would now need to be done. We needed a venue, an arrangement, RSVPs and invitations, menus, décor & design schemes, flowers, entertainment. Even with it all behind us, it still feels like an intimidating task. We weren’t about to do it all on our own. Our best friends recommended we call the team at BG Events & Catering. We did some research and read some success stories. We saw some of the photographs and were almost brought to tears.

Yes, that’s what we want. We want that kind of wedding. Right there. That’s when we made the call.

STEP ONE

During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss our background in more detail and answer any questions or inquiries you may have regarding our process. You’ll meet the members of our planning and catering teams to share your story and talk about the “must-haves” for your dream wedding celebration. We can set up a follow-up or look at a Save The Date arrangement.

Our initial consultation is all about giving you peace of mind that we are the right wedding planners for you.

YOUR INITIAL CONSULTATION

Step Two

you + bg

From the BG teamWe remember that initial qualification call. There was a sense of nervous excitement in their voices. You could tell how overwhelming everything seemed. But we wanted to provide some reassurance. One thing we said stands out in particular:

This is your wedding day. And if our team has anything to say about it, then it’s about to be the most amazing day of your lives.

We talked about each other’s needs and expectations (both financially and physically), including all the “must-haves” for any wedding celebration. We talked about our background and wedding planning in general. They had so many questions. They were the right questions, and that made us happy. We knew right then and there that in due time, this was going to be a wedding to remember.

We set up an in-person meeting to discuss wedding plans in further detail. The full team of Denise, Ken and Baylee were all on hand, combing over detail after detail with us and conversing over nosh and champagne. After a vibrant and friendly meeting, we all agreed on a Save the Date. You could certainly tell there was some peace of mind from that point. The couple knew that they were in great hands and were well on their way to a dream wedding.

STEP TWO

Our experts will schedule a personal tasting for you with our culinary team, allowing you the opportunity to sample our finest cuisine and begin assembling the ideal menu for you and your wedding guests.

From the Couple Andrew & Steph

We remember feeling that peace of mind. You know what else we remember? That final tasting. That was an authentic and moving experience. We didn’t realize food could resonate so personally like that. But here we were, trying this amazing cut of steak that was prepared in such a way that we felt like it was telling our story. It was speaking to our souls.

We were all gathered around the chef’s table, flushing out more details and collaborating on this simply astonishing wedding menu. We tried three different courses, all prepared with market fresh ingredients and all of which provoked a certain measure of pride and love from the chefs. It felt like we were watching an artist paint a fresco. It was so apparent how much the BG culinary team loves what they do. That level of engagement and care was present from start to finish.
