Shooby Doo Catering's Seafood Menu Inspires a Oceanic Reception Design

Bouquet, bridal gown, bridesmaids—all involve important decisions. But in culinary cities such as Seattle, the main ingredient that every couple focuses on is the menu. Uniting the event design with dinner is a clever way to pay homage to a beloved flavor, dish or cuisine. “Food has the ability to bring people together—it’s communal!” says Kim Morrill of Your Perfect Bridesmaid. “Artfully crafted food, like the menus crafted by the amazing caterers we worked with, really creates an experience for guests. It sparks conversation and leaves a vivid memory.” And today’s reception menus are equivalent to fine dining experiences—from grazing stations to elaborate courses.
