Dining: Thoughtful Food is Love

Every bite matters. This simple yet highly intentional philosophy guides Chef Jim White’s approach to dining at your wedding. Together with you, we create personalized menus that are served family style and showcase local, seasonal, and sustainably sourced ingredients, including some items fresh from our garden. Our kitchen team specializes in meeting a wide range of dietary needs and preferences with inspiration and creativity.
