what you can do.

When planning your wedding or event, our catering director is happy to make green and environmentally-friendly suggestions every step of the way. Here are some ideas to start the conversation.

• Use local vendors!
• Utilize recycled products – such as paper for your invitations, menus, etc.
• Select a seasonal menu, which will enable us to source food from more local growers & producers.
• Use environmentally-friendly decorations – such as local, seasonal flowers, soy candles, etc.
• Rent china & glassware, or choose to use recyclable, renewable, or biodegradable products.

Small steps can make a big difference, without too much effort or expense on your part.
