Chateau de Pique wedding

Today, I met with a bride to be and her mother at Chateau de Pique. The family chose Lemleys' Catering to provide service for their upcoming celebration with 600 guests.

Located in Seymour, Chateau de Pique is a local winery. On their grounds, they have two event spaces: a renovated barn and a free-standing tent. They host many public and private events throughout the year. You can visit their website, http://www.chateaudepique.com/ to learn more about their services.

Lemleys' Catering is proud to be a preferred caterer at Chateau de Pique. It is one of my favorite spots for an outdoor reception. Perfect for food stations, the tent is elegant and beautiful. Unlike some other venues which hold larger groups, it is neither factory-industrial nor dark. Atop a slight hill, the tent provides a welcoming and romantic spot to celebrate a wedding.

Dear Lemleys’,

Just a note to thank you for all of the outstanding meals and service you have provided for the clients at Chateau de Pique Winery in Seymour. It is always a pleasure to work with the management and staff at Lemleys’ Catering. I know whether we book you for a public event, a wedding or corporate event, the food and service will be excellent. It also takes the worry out of the food service planning...We are pleased to have Lemleys’ as one of our preferred caterers at Chateau de Pique Winery.

Sincerely,
Diane Schulz
Manager
Chateau de Pique Winery

Tea and Thee menu and pictures

Recently, we catered an event for the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic. For Tea and Thee, we created a fairy garden buffet. Yes, that is real cotton candy and real grass adorning the tables.

Joyce Lucke, owner of Paragon Meetings and Events, http://www.paragonme.org/, coordinated a wonderful affair for the young ladies and lads. There was singing, story-telling and parading around the room. We're looking forward to next year's event.

Leadership Johnson County dinner pictures and menu

Over the weekend, we catered a dinner for Leadership Johnson County at Beeson Hall. Chef Alexa designed a feast of Australian foods. For this elegant meal, our kitchen staff created melt-in-your-mouth pavlovas and tasty crocodile puffs.

Our friend Marcia Potts, http://www.therightanglestudio.com/, took photos for us. When you look at our Website and blog, you'll notice that we don't use stock images. All photos are taken at our events--not studio pictures made with other items to resemble foods. We consider ourselves quite fortunate to have Marcia taking such tasteful photos.
