This year started off with some great events in different parts of India and UAE and led into my first official wedding project on Memorial Day weekend in San Francisco. I call this one official because the unofficial one was my own sister’s wedding.
The wedding consisted of a mehendi ceremony on day one, wedding ceremony and reception on day two. The wedding food was catered by Jalsa Events & Catering on both days. Jalsa being a renowned catering company in the bay area was undoubtedly going to deliver amazing food to the wedding. However, the purpose of my presence was to add value to the wedding by throwing in a couple of personalized yet creative elements to the wedding food scene, as a result of which the guests would be able to experience something unique.
The mehendi ceremony was held at the groom’s house backyard in Saratoga on a sunny afternoon. So for that I had set up a LIVE Soda-Popsicle Bar to beat the Cali heat!
The flavors were all made super refreshing keeping “California” in mind and the rich seasonal produce it boasts of.
Each popsicle was paired with a different soda for some fizz and frenzy!
A lot of the guests kept coming back for the ‘Kiwi with a Kick’ so may I say that was the party hit?!
After the success of my popsicle bar, I was all set and ready to present the LIVE Cupcake Bar on day two at the grand wedding reception held at the San Francisco City Hall.
The cupcake menu was put together based on the bride’s request to somehow incorporate chai, ginger, red velvet, cardamom, saffron, rose and pistachio as they were all the groom’s favorite flavors.
The most popular flavor among the adults was Asian Fusion, all because of its uniqueness. Velvet crunch was most popular among the kids. You can’t really go wrong with it, can you?
The beautiful dim yellow lighting at the venue did not let me take the best pictures of the cakes but here is what I got!
In addition to the fun LIVE bar setups, I tied up with Jalsa Catering and had them create a few of my signature cocktails, appetizers and desserts!
