Perfection!
We highly recommend Purple Onion!
They were super helpful at our walk through at our venue a month before the wedding, giving suggestions for where to place the bar, cocktail hour tables, dessert table, etc. In the weeks leading up to the big day there were some last minute details to nail down, and Margaret was very responsive and easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, all of the Purple Onion staff were professional and friendly, and the food and cocktails were delicious! One guest even said that the apple pie tarts were the best thing he’s ever eaten. Highly recommend Purple Onion!
