Sample Reception - Catering Luciano
Menu Trovatore or Menu Aida at the Villa


Below is a description of a wedding reception organized with the Menu Trovatore or Menu Aida by Catering Luciano at our Villas:

The welcome cocktail will be served against the marvelous backdrop of the pool, set among age-old olive trees. A string quartet will provide the music. Pineapples, citrons and watermelons will be sculpted to create charming animals used to decorate the table for the rich poolside buffet, with a stunning view of the lake.

Vol-au-vents, fruit skewers, prosciutto and cantaloupe, chunks of Parmigiano with green-tomato preserves, mini-pizzas, deep-fried vegetables and more will be served on antique mirrors.

The group will then move towards the marquee area, guests will be seated at tables.

A string quartet, or, if desired, music selected from CDs will accompany the dinner, with individual servings of appetizers, first course, second course and vegetables. Lastly, the wedding cake will be served.

While the bride and groom have their pictures taken, the waiters will lay out the dessert, also serving the wedding cake.

After dessert, will be served coffee and tea.

The entire reception will be characterized by this evocative Italian setting, with particular reference to Umbria and Tuscany. This theme naturally starts with the menu, which features typical local recipes and ingredients, and continues with the decorations, the uniforms of the wait staff and the table settings.
