So you want a beachside wedding?

It doesn't get much better than this!  The Robert Paine Scripps Seaside Forum is totally amazing, and Kelly & Kevin were a great couple to work with on our first wedding there.  With coordination by Melissa at I Do Weddings, beautiful florals by Jennifer Cole Florals, and excellent photography by Melissa Koehler Photography, and of course Culinary Concepts' fine cuisine, how could you go wrong?

Barney & Barney: Fist Bumps & High Fives!

Culinary Concepts was HONORED when we were asked to cater Barney & Barney's 100th Anniversary Extravaganza held at the Natural History Museum last night.  Being that they are a long time client of ours, we wanted to help them celebrate and congratulate their many years of hard work!!  We teamed up with Pacific Event Productions and the night went off without a hitch!  Here's what B&B had to say:

 

Hi guys –
Just want to give a quick thank you for all your hard work! I look forward to talking with you more next week with tons of feedback. It was an absolute pleasure working with both your teams – I can’t tell you enough how AWESOME you made us look last night.  Everyone loved the food. We got the WOW factor we were looking for with the décor and entertainment. The program went perfectly! I’m still amazed.

High five. Fist bump. Thank you!!
