Gabrielle Wallace, corporate sales man- ager for La Prima Catering in the Greater Philadelphia area, talks about how they will happily assist event planners and other hosts to help them find the perfect menu that fits within their budget.

And no matter what the size your event is or how many jobs La Prima Catering is working on, their large size and vast resources allow them to consistently pro- vide top notch service to all guests. “We have resources as far as DC we can use if we need them. If we have three wed- dings in a weekend, you are still getting the top grade, which makes a difference,” adds Wallace.

A lot of the current generation getting mar- ried are also much more focused on the quality of food and the taste of food,” says Wallace. “It doesn’t have to be expensive, but instead something very different and fun. It doesn’t need to be filet mignon. Every client is into the food being top quality.”
In terms of themes, Wallace also sees basic colors and earthy themes being
