Beneath a small poplar grove neighboring a blossoming field of buckwheat (for the UBC Farm’s bees to romance in), Jessica + Anthony were married on a gorgeous autumn evening. Beautiful families, fascinating childhood stories, and delicious local food.
Feedback
“Taryn, the food was absolutely delicious (and beautifully prepared) – the most memorable wedding meal I’ve had in recent memory.”
– James Moes, James Moes Photography
“We felt really lucky that everything turned out exactly as planned. The food received a great deal of praises from our friends. I hope that will generate some new business for Savoury Chef Foods. Thanks for the effort from you and your team. There is no way we could have pulled this off without you guys.”
