Catering Chronicles – Food for Thought

When traveling through Spain, one of my favorite places to stop were the plazas in the center of the city. Charming and quaint with a feeling of community. Can you imagine how excited I was to find this same vignette in Orange County? Stone pavers, loggias, arches, covered breezeways, bubbling fountains, old world doors, and large clay pots with an abundance of flowers… welcome to Serra Plaza. Located adjacent to the Historic Los Rios District and within walking distance of The Mission San Juan Capistrano, Serra Plaza truly has that old world charm with a pristine new feel. The amenities include; a plaza that can accommodate 450 guests, a gorgeous bridal suite, a private patio with an outdoor stone fireplace for cocktails or an intimate ceremony, and ample parking. You could even travel by train, as the station is within walking distance. This is a must see property if you are planning a wedding or corporate event.

I love celebrations that become family affairs. When Shorleen and Joasa married, the guest list exceeded 300. There are very few locations in the South Bay that can accommodate a sizable gathering. We were very excited when they chose The Carson Center. Partly because Joasa’s father, Pastor Daniel Hunkin , is a favorite at The Carson Center. Not only was he the father of the groom, he also officiated the ceremony. Probably my favorite part of the celebration. I love a personal message when two people in love make all of those promises to each other. Guests dined and danced the night away in the Grand Ballroom. It truly was a celebration of love and family.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Joasa Hunkin…. we look forward to celebrating future events with you and your family at The Carson Center. Blessings!
