Catering
Garden Wedding All-Inclusive Wine Country Reception with Stations and Light Service. This all-inclusive package is built for the daytime garden wedding format that defines Sonoma County and Wine Country celebrations: an early afternoon ceremony, a relaxed stations-and-light hors d'oeuvres reception, and a footprint that suits private estates, vineyards, garden parks, and country properties across the Bay Area. Per-person rate is fully inclusive: food, service staff, china, glass, linens, tables, and chairs are bundled into a single transparent figure that takes the budgeting guesswork out of Wine Country wedding planning.
What guests experience. The reception opens with a curated Sonoma County harvest bounty display: locally cured charcuterie from small regional producers, artisan cheeses paired with seasonal jams and honeycombs, marinated olives, candied nuts, dried fruits, garden crudite with house-made dips, warm artisan bread, and rotating signature spreads. Two or three chef-styled food stations follow with progression dishes such as a small-bite slider station with local beef and artisan rolls, a Sonoma cheese and charcuterie expanded board, a Mediterranean mezze station with hummus and warm flatbreads, a Pacific seafood station with smoked salmon and crudo bites, or a wood-fired flatbread station with seasonal toppings. Bite-size desserts close the menu. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free menu paths are integrated throughout.
Wine Country sourcing and seasonal menus. The on-site kitchen team works directly with Sonoma County farms, dairies, ranches, and bakeries to bring fresh seasonal produce, sustainable proteins, and small-batch artisan products to every garden wedding. Menus are written collaboratively with each couple and aligned to the harvest window of the wedding date. This is the canonical garden-wedding Wine Country experience: a celebration of place, of growers, and of the bounty that defines a Sonoma vineyard wedding caterer.
Staffing and service flow. All-inclusive staffing covers a banquet captain plus a service team sized at one staff member per fifteen to twenty-two guests for stations service. Setup, full reception window, and breakdown are included in the published rate; the team arrives with adequate setup time, dresses the stations with linens and florals, and remains until the venue is fully reset. Cake cutting service is included. The captain coordinates the timeline with the planner, photographer, DJ, and venue lead.
Ideal venue and event types. All-inclusive garden wedding service is a strong fit for vineyard estates, garden parks, private residences, small banquet halls, country clubs, and historic Wine Country properties within approximately one hour of the Petaluma kitchen. The format suits afternoon ceremony plus reception weddings, brunch-style elopement parties, milestone vow renewals, garden-party engagement events, and intimate family celebrations of fifty to one hundred seventy-five guests.
Rentals included in the per-person rate. The published all-inclusive figure includes china place settings, silverware, one stemmed water glass per guest, polyester linen napkins and full-length tablecloths in a wide color palette, tables, and chairs sufficient for the confirmed guest count. The planning team produces the complete rental order and floor plan during the venue walkthrough. Specialty rentals such as upgraded chargers, lounge furniture, and signage are quoted as add-ons.
Beverage service and bar program. The kitchen team does not sell alcohol; the host supplies all wine, beer, and spirits. The bar program covers glassware, mixers, garnishes, ice, and bartending. A signature drink design session is included with the menu planning consultation, and bar timeline coordination is handled day-of. No corkage fee on host-supplied beverages.
Sustainability and farm partnerships. Locally-sourced ingredients, traceable proteins, composted food waste, and reusable service items keep this tier's environmental footprint thoughtful. The package is a natural fit for couples planning a sustainable Wine Country wedding day.
