Oceanfront romance meets moody mauve design at the Ocean Institute. With Pacific views as their ceremony backdrop, Chris and Erika layered the space in rich plum florals, taupe candles, velvet textures, and a modern lounge that tied everything together. From the ocean breeze during “I do” to a reception filled with deep jewel-toned blooms, every detail complemented the beauty of this Dana Point wedding venue.
Guests experienced a thoughtfully curated menu from start to finish. Tray-passed Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons, Crab Cakes, and Thai Chicken Spring Rolls, followed by a dinner of Zucchini Lime Chicken, Tri-Tip Carvery, and Vegetarian Rotolo Bolzano. A Classic Dessert Station and late-night Mini Corn Dogs kept the celebration going, blending elevated catering with playful touches that define a Southern California coastal wedding experience.

We fired up the grill and sliced fresh limes at to treat guests to our Tacos and Margs station. Prime rib, charred cheese, and handmade tortillas were finished with toppings of each guest’s choosing, while margaritas were shaken fresh to order. The only question left - tajin or salt on the rim? 🍋🟩🧂🌮

We had the pleasure of catering The Boardwalk’s Annual Tree Lighting event, representing Jay’s Catering and Ellie’s Table. Once the workday ended, tenants headed out to the courtyard where a winter wonderland came to life ❄️. Santa posed for pictures with kids 🎅, a live band energized the crowd 🥁, and our Blackberry, Brie, Bacon, and Jalapeño Melts, Caprese Melts, Kids’ Cheese Melts, Creamy Tomato Soup Shooters, Braised Pork Belly Bao, Thai Three-Flavored Chicken Bao, kids’ meals, and cookies were enjoyed by guests of all ages ❤️. Carolers serenaded partygoers, and just as the sun set, the tree lit up with thousands of twinkling lights 🎄.

Elevate your special event with our Asado Hors d’Oeuvres Station where fire, flavor, and craftsmanship come together in a truly unforgettable culinary spectacle. Watch as our grill master commands the live-fire grill where crackling flames turn the moment into a rustic performance. Prime Skirt Steak and Argentinian Chorizo Sausage are seared to perfection filling the air with rich aromas only open-flame cooking can create. The experience continues as these mouthwatering meats are nestled atop warm, crusty, freshly sliced baguettes where the chorizo is topped with herb-packed chimichurri, and the steak is complete with a trio of tomato, onion, and chimichurri aioli. The result is hearty, indulgent hors d’oeuvres that are as thrilling to watch being crafted as they are to savor.
