Weddings by Parties in Motion Catering & Event Planning
Congratulations on your wedding engagement!
We take great pride in our wedding planning. Whether you decide on an elaborate dinner or a simple brunch, Parties in Motion will be there to make your wedding day a memorable one. Parties in Motion is a full-service wedding planner and caterer committed to elegance, quality and truly personalized service. We will gladly customize our menu to best suit the tastes of the bride and groom.
Our talented staff can help you organize, plan and, most importantly, enjoy your wedding day! We can furnish all the essentials, as well as any special nuances, to make your wedding celebration a truly special one. We strive to go one step beyond the traditional catering company by meticulously handling the slightest details. Our unmatched level of personal service will ensure a truly pleasurable and delightful occasion.
Weddings menus by Parties in Motion Catering begin with the fundamentals: the freshest vegetables and greens and the choicest meats, fish and poultry, all delivered daily from the wholesale markets in Orange County. Menus are organized or “prepped” at our production kitchen in Laguna Hills under the supervision of Executive Chef David Schueren. Most importantly, every menu is cooked “a la minute” at the event location to ensure the very best dining experience. From the first hors d’oeuvres to the last chocolate dipped strawberry you can taste the marriage of fine fresh ingredients and expert preparation.
A great menu remains only an intriguing possibility, however, without a great service staff to deliver the menu in a timely and professional manner. Smartly attired in crisp "black & whites" with full black apron, all of our captains, servers and bartenders are highly trained in their positions. No crooked bow ties, chewing gum, shirt tails or sneakers. Our servers are relaxed and friendly, but always appropriate.
At Parties in Motion, presentation is the key. From classic to edgy to just plain fun each guest table is set to reflect the client’s vision and personality. All food stations and buffets are designed to complement the guest table décor. With your approval such enhancements as candelabras, votive candles, stunning seasonal flower arrangements and custom linen accents are employed to create dramatic three-dimensional displays that add color and personality to your reception space. In keeping with your theme hors d’oeuvres are butlered, beautifully garnished, on a variety of media such as silver, copper, glass, or ceramics. Finally, our standards are rigorously upheld by the team, supervisors and ownership of Parties in Motion Catering. Whether you prefer a more casual or formal reception we understand that every successful event begins with a strong plan. When you have chosen Parties in Motion to plan your reception. At an additional cost to you we can help you choose the rest of your wedding day team -- florist, photographer, band or deejay, calligrapher, even an officiate -- from a group of professionals with whom we have worked on numerous occasions. At a time of your choosing, we will meet with you to create a “timeline” and a floor plan for your reception day. If the ceremony is on-site, and the need arises, we’ll even help send you down the aisle….

Beyond that, the only "add on" are upgrades and California state sales tax.(Gratuity Optional)

A Note About Reception Styles Seated Served A traditional plate served meal generally preceded by a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres. Since complete seating is required for all guests, certain function sites may not be appropriate unless a tenting option is available. Reception would normally run 4-5 hours.
Buffet This menu is presented on a single buffet. A cocktail/hors d'oeuvres hour is usually presented before the buffet is opened. Client may opt for limited or "casual" seating or complete seating. Buffet receptions normally run 4-5 hours.
Food Stations Food stations are often theme-based as in "Pasta Station" or "Seafood Bar". A heavy hors d'oeuvres menu accompanies a variety of stationary displays and action stations. Casual seating is recommended with function times ranging from 4-5 hours. |
