Vienna, VA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/22/2017 --The December tasting calendar for the Virginia company is full, but openings are available in January 2018 and beyond. Interested businesses or individuals can use the appointment to sample a selection of appetizers, entrées and desserts prepared by the skilled chefs at Saint Germain Catering. While a lot of work goes into catering websites and menus to ensure delectable-looking goodies, tasting food items personally is one of the best ways individuals can narrow down event food options.

Whether it's a wedding, bridal shower or corporate event, Saint Germain Catering offers several catering menus designed to match the needs, crowd size and atmosphere of the occasion. Sampling individual items allows clients to try the many flavors and seasonings that go into the preparation of each dish. Saint Germain focuses on incorporating locally sourced ingredients, including meats, cheese and produce. The result is healthy food and support of agricultural businesses in the area.

An impressive 56 percent of brides consider delicious food at their wedding to be a top priority. In-person tasting of the entire menu — and not just the cake — lets the happy couple hand-select dishes to be served to guests on their big day. They can keep in mind certain dietary restrictions and family preferences, especially for a smaller occasion, and if it's a larger event, they can pick multiple dishes for guests to choose from.

From Saint Germain Catering's An American Wedding menu, soon-to-be brides and grooms can choose from passed and displayed hors d'oeuvres. Vegetable and seafood-based choices include butternut squash and shrimp ceviche shooters with fresh cilantro, caramelized brussels sprouts and spiced honey pecan bites accented with lemon and roasted root vegetable skewers with toasted fennel aioli.

Dinner buffet choices include a fresh assortment of rolls and breads with whipped honey butter, Virginia green salad with seasonal vegetables, chicken roulade or beef loin with locally sourced vegetables and smashed sweet potatoes. Some items may vary depending on the time of year, as the company strives to include fresh items that coincide with the current season whenever possible. Many desserts are available as well, including traditional cakes, cupcakes and other sweet, decadent choices.

Saint Germain provides tastings for customers on site, at corporate offices or at customer homes. The seasoned event planners, chefs and catering specialists work together to organize a tasting that best matches the occasion and suits the need of expected guests. Customers interested in scheduling a tasting for their 2018 special event can contact Saint Germain Catering directly or fill out the tasting information form on their website.
