Planterra and our trusted catering partner serve as the primary providers of all food and beverage for your celebration. As long as your event meets our food and beverage minimums, select outside culinary elements are welcome, including: Wedding cakes Dessert stations Late-night bites Edible guest favors or gifts All outside food must be provided by a licensed and insured vendor operating from a certified kitchen, and delivered directly by that vendor. Outside vendors are responsible for all setup, display, service items, and end-of-night breakdown and removal. We are also pleased to accommodate specialty cultural cuisine as an enhancement to cocktail hour, dessert service, or late-night offerings. These items are not incorporated into our catering partner’s plated dinner service and must be sourced through a licensed and insured caterer. Additional culinary staff or service team members may be required to ensure seamless execution.
