Gabby & Dom gathered friend and family to a beautifully orchestrated wedding celebration at the UBC Boathouse. Savoury Chef provided an elegant family style meal, fitting to their Italian roots, and the crowd celebrated into the evening together. Wedding’s By Yolanda (also happened to be one of Gabby’s friends), did a wonderful job bringing everything together, with featured small touches in the decor, to the smooth timeline of the day. We were thrilled to be apart of their big day, and so happy for them to share their love and life with close family and friends. Congratulations!
Feedback
“I have worked with Savoury Chef now for a few years in the wedding industry and am always very impressed with the menus they create for their wedding couples. Gabby and Dom’s dinner service had an Italian flair to it, with it being served family-style. After having photographed many weddings, I have never seen this sort of thing done at a wedding before and it was just such a wonderful way for everyone to share and eat. The lasagna was especially delicious! I am always impressed with the service that Savoury Chef provides right down to the smallest details in plating. I always get excited to photograph the dishes that they bring out! The food is not only visually interesting but also tastes wonderful.”
