Gourmet Wedding Catering: Not a Contradiction

TEMECULA, Calif. - Nov. 17, 2016 - PRLog -- With the introduction of Executive Chef Michael Musser, Southern California's Best Wedding Venue just got better!

Delicious wedding catering has always been included in Villa de Amore wedding packages. Local Temecula Valley caterers had been used for this until recently. The Villa has now brought its catering in-house with the expansion of its onsite kitchen and the hiring of Executive Chef Michael Musser.

"The long-term business plan has always been to bring our catering in-house" says Villa de Amore General Manager, David Musser. "We where providing great wedding catering for our couples and their guests but we knew that we could do even better bringing it onsite" David continues, "Chef Michael has a true passion for his menu and we are constantly getting great compliments about it."

"…The food was AMAZING! I was so impressed with the different variety of food choices they had during tastings, and it allowed for us to pick the best meals. We had so many of our guest talk and rave about the food. We enjoyed the variety of different appetizers that were offered (BBQ sliders are a must!) along with the amazing entrees. The food was beyond perfect and delicious!.." Keilene 6/10/2016 from (WeddingWire.com)

PROFESSIONAL AND PASSIONATE

Chef Michael trained at the San Diego Culinary Institute. He brings a passion for fresh, organic farm-to-table ingredients that make each of his dishes wonderful. We caught up with the Chef as he was preparing for a wedding reception that evening. "I have always loved cooking and decided that I would pursue it professionally" Chef Michael continues, "Here in Southern California, we have access to so many great ingredients I feel spoiled sometimes. We are able to source the bulk of our menu items from local organic farms and the Villa even has its own orchard across the valley producing citrus, avocado and other produce items."
