Elegant Fare Culinary Experiences are custom tailored to your vision. We specialize in multi course, epicurean meals for groups up to 12-14 people. We handle everything from shopping to tabletop design, prep to service and cleanup. We can supply dishware, glass, silver, linen, invitations, and personalized menus if desired. Our Event Design Coordinator Daisy will work with you to design a tabletop that will wow your guests.
Chef Evan focuses on sourcing local Northwest Michigan meat, dairy and produce items from producers like Wagner Farms, Bardenhagen Farms and Maple Leaf Farm and Creamery. Dinners can be served plated or family style and will be largely produced in your home, affording you the opportunity to observe and learn techniques you may be unfamiliar with.
