Our Favorite Infographics

...A year later and we're still working on catching our breath! We love our clients so much, but, boy, do they keep us busy! Weddings can be so hectic, and there are so many things to keep track of (and so many people to please) that it's no wonder even the coolest cucumber can turn into a "bridezilla" or "groomzilla"! Infographics are such a cute and easy way to remember even the smallest of details. Here are some of our favorites:


Invitation information by ValMarie. Covers who, what, when, and where!
Cake servings by USABride. One of the best ways to end the evening on a sweet note.
Wedding traditions, by HomeAway. Not sure about the bread crumbs,
but we wouldn't say no to a month of Cabernet!
A "How-To" for head tables by SimplyBridal. We're seeing sweetheart tables more and more,
and loving how intimate it is!
Digital etiquette by WeddingPaperDivas. With more and more weddings going "unplugged,"
this infographic has some great advice on little things we might forget in our everyday social-media.
WineFolly's cheatsheet. Or the best way to make sure the food and wine at your wedding, potlucks, and parties
are just as perfectly matched as you and your significant other are!

Summer Isn't Nearly Over!

When did it become September! These summer days don't seem to be cooling down, and neither do these summer weddings! We're busy, busy, busy for the next few months!

It has been an amazing season. We've got lots of pictures to come and some awesome things to show you! But you'll have to be patient until we get a moment to catch our breath...

Phew. Soon...

DARI Night Brings Out the Stars!

Wow! Can you believe it's already the end of February? We're just starting to catch our breath after a crazy 2012 wedding season! And in a few months, the flowers will bloom again, the sun will shine, and then wedding season will start all over again... Hold onto your bouquets and boutonnieres, ladies and gentlemen! We've already got some fantastic couples and celebrations lined up for 2013!

But until then, we wanted to share a memorable end of 2012 with you:

The 2012 DARI Awards & Reception

Held at the Korean Cultural Center of Los Angeles, the DARI awards recognize those who help create cultural bridges between Korea and the United States. Four Seasons was honored to serve up some delicious eats to the celebrated guests (like YG Entertainment) and attendees. Mike even got a picture with Scooter Braun, DARI's "Man of the Year", and Justin Beiber and (now) Psy's manager!

The man of the hour!


Do you think Scooter could get us Psy's autograph if Mike begged a little?

Noodling Around Four Seasons!

Here at Four Seasons Catering, we've got a selection of noodle dishes often added to our couples' customized wedding menus: Japanese udon with hot broth, spaghetti marinara, and Japanese mori soba! Our noodles are served in individual, handheld bowls and are very popular! The hot noodles warm up cold hands for wintery weddings or indoor venues and the chilled noodles are refreshing on hot summer evenings! :)




Hors D'oeuvres of the Hour

Look at all these hors d'oeuvres! Bite-sized delicacies at your fingertips... Passed hors d'oeuvres are a great addition to a reception or can stand alone for a cocktail party. A pre-reception hors d'oeuvres hour will also give the wedding party and families time to take photos and give the guests a chance to nibble on something small during the wait! A cocktail & hors d'oeuvres-only event is also becoming trendy because it allows the guests to mingle, move around, and eat the entire time!




This is a Four Seasons Catering family-favorite! :)

Japchae in a cup!


Before & During & After

Have you ever walked into a potential venue and think: "How could this possibly look anything like my vision?!" We wanted to show you a before & during & after look at a wedding and how you can turn any venue into the event of your dreams!





Look what a difference lighting and draping makes! They did a fantastic job and it hardly looks like the same church setting! Here are some more photos of how lighting can set the mood for the entire event:





A behind-the-look scenes at what our crew is up to right before the buffet lines start! Look at all that delicious food just waiting to be eaten! We're always impressed when our experienced servers carry those huge trays without dropping anything... and the pressure is on! The fate of hundreds of hungry guests is in their capable hands!





We also make sure to prepare our VIP guests -- i.e., the newlyweds -- their very own plates! The rule is: If you get married that day, you get to skip the buffet line! Our servers bring loaded plates of food right to the newlyweds' table. Things get so hectic; it's important to make sure that the couple of honor is able to eat in the midst of the chaos!



Venue Showcase

Choosing a venue is a big decision! At Four Seasons Catering, we have are able to offer our anxious couples a few venue & catering packages, one of which is with our affiliated partners at the DoubleTree Hotel in Norwalk!

The DoubleTree Hotel by Hilton in Norwalk

This couple chose to keep the natural, warm glow of the lighting, which we thought complemented the decorations beautifully! The golden backdrop matched the centerpieces, which were dripping with crystals and elegance!


Remember: Lighting can always be changed to match your theme!



The Villa Del Sol in Fullerton

This courtyard in the heart of downtown Fullerton boasts landscaped grounds and Spanish-Colonial architecture. By nighttime, the European lighting creates an ambiance of dining under the stars. How much more romantic can a venue be?
