Recently we had the pleasure of attending an edible auditing (a catering tasting) for a new Los Angeles wedding caterer, Room Forty. One of our favorite Bridal Bar approved wedding planners, the lovely and talented, Alex Rembac Goldberg from Sterling Engagements produced a luncheon that was more like a royal feast than a quick midweek snack. She and her team welcomed a few dozen wedding planners to the famed Vibiana property in downtown Los Angeles to taste the works of Room Forty's catering and cocktails. And they did not disappoint! Alex, along with Shawna Yamamoto Floral, Designer Specialty Linens and Prim & Pixie paper created one long feasting table with beautiful pops of color paired with the rustic texture of custom burlap placemats, and even herbs as favors! The place looked spectacular! But it wasn't all about the decor...the food, oh the food.



Room Forty creates all their own presentation pieces to serve from and as you can see, it is quite a show! They have an in-house mixologist who served up fresh flower adorned cocktails and even a smoking whisky at one point in the meal.






I love this idea - enclose fresh herbs under glass and incorporate them into your centerpieces!


And since this day was all about food, how could they resist putting a few artichokes in the centerpieces!

Then came the six, seven, or was it eight course lunch...amazing! We dinned on everything from short ribs to fresh pesto ravioli, each with a wonderful cocktail pairing.

And if that wasn't enough, at the end of the meal, Room Forty sent us home with a gift box set with salad for two and fresh herbs too!


Congratulations Sterling Engagements + Room Forty and your entire team, what a wonderful event to be included in, thank you!
