TO RECOMMEND WITHOUT MODERATION: TASTY, LOCAL AND ADORABLE TEAM
We loved entrusting the creation of the wine reception and our wedding meal to Juliette, Charly and their team. We would do it again without hesitation. They knew how to prepare a wine of honor and a tailor-made meal, of high quality (95% vegetarian), made from fresh, local products or from neighboring regions. We were able to avoid food waste and the service was of high quality and very well managed between courses!
Referred by our wedding planner and celebrant (Julie Bichon from Béguins et Moustaches), we let them collaborate with our eyes closed. Whether it was during our first meeting with them over a meal in their restaurant in Bordeaux or during follow-up meetings, the process was very smooth with them. During a meeting, we were able to clearly express the atmosphere and the quality sought for our wedding as well as the ideas for cocktails and dishes that we had savored at the discretion of past weddings or trips. Later, we were also able to share our favorites of the dishes already made by Chemins de table and which are visible on their social networks FB and Instagram.
Through our travels, our regions, our history and our memories, we were lucky enough to be able to imagine with them a vegetarian menu (apart from a few cocktail pieces) that would make us relive 10 years of adventures as a couple!
We had rented the Moulin de Laboirie for our wedding, a green place where nature takes its rightful place. With Julie, our super wedding planner, we therefore imagined a decoration and tableware all in warm colors. The intention ? Make people feel comfortable like a warm evening around the fire in our house in Quebec! We therefore needed a reception and a meal in harmony with these "cocooning" desires.
With a budget of €5,200 for the reception and the meal (60 guests), Chemin de Tables was able to launch the festivities with an original reception, generous, tasty and very well presented. Everything was delicious: from the " Crispy focaccias, arugula and wild garlic pesto, hazelnut, Ossau Iraty ", to the " Chilli sweets (fried split pea croquette, spices and fresh herbs), coriander and apple virgin sauce " and the “ Adour trout gravlax, cucumber pickles and brioche toast ” as well as the 6 other cocktail pieces and the hummus bar.
The same goes for drinks, which are also entrusted to Chemins de tables for welcoming guests before the ceremony as well as for the reception. We travel in our memories: Flavored water / Lemonade / Iced tea / Homemade syrup & lemonade for the non-alcoholic. Sangria dew with apricot, peach and lime verbena liqueur / Lacave wine "Tariquet 1ère grives" ... in memory of our studies in Bordeaux!
At dinner, to reinforce our desire for a convivial meal "like in the family", we opt for a "family style" dish, served in a common dish per table and not on the plate. India invites itself to our tables with the wine "terres d'épices": Dahl of coral lentils, roasted vegetables and apple, salad of fresh herbs & salted ricotta, rice with herbs & cashews . We have chosen not to serve as a starter to streamline the service and prevent the meal from dragging on. Consequently, the vin d'honneur was longer and more generous! Our only constructive comment would be related to the proportions of the dahl and/or rice. If we had to do it again, we would probably pay attention to the quantities being a little more copious on this item: teenagers/young adults could have taken it again without hesitation ;). It's the other side of the coin when the dish is so good: even if we're hungrier and there's a sequel... the gluttony makes us want to eat more!
After the meal, the cheese platters and the wedding cake (naked vanilla, peach & apricot cake), Chemins de Tables took care of a dessert buffet for the night which made a big impression on our guests: “ Mini pecan pies ”, “ Crispy puffs, lemon thyme whipped cream, blueberry confit and fresh blueberries ”, “ Lemon bergamot and earl gray cakes, lemon cream ”, “ Coffee, infusions and mini cannelés ” were there for us energize you to dance the night away!
You will understand, we loved that they are so attentive to their customers to offer a personalized menu, concerned about the environment and so creative. Finally, the kindness of Juliette & Charly as well as the members of their team only adds to the happiness of collaborating with such a talented caterer and whose harmony of flavors in each bite had quite an effect, both with the bride and groom. only guests! Two months later, our guests are still talking to us about the caterer: they felt pampered, pleasantly surprised by the original flavors and delighted by all these fresh products! We will remember this delicious taste trip for a long time to come from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m.! A huge thank you to you both Juliette & Charly, we wish all our friends to work with you for their wedding :)
