Grapes Of Wrath Catering Named Best Wedding Caterer In Northern California In The Knot Best Of Weddings 2010
Monterey, CA. 1-12-2010 — Grapes of Wrath Catering and Event Management is pleased to announce it has been selected as a 2008/2009 Pick in the The Knot Best of Weddings Magazine, a coast-to-coast by-brides-for-brides guide from The Knot (NASDAQ: KNOT; www.theknot.com), the #1 wedding website and most trusted wedding resource.
The Knot Best of Weddings magazine is a must-have when it comes to selecting the best-of-the-best wedding resources, from wedding sites to photographers to florists and more in over 40 key cities across the United States. Detailed feedback on every single wedding business that couples hired for their wedding celebration helps local to-be-weds select the ultimate wedding resource in each region.
Grapes of Wrath Catering has worked hard to marry the concepts of staying fresh…and staying affordable. In seventeen years of wedding catering Dana Carnazzo and her team have learned to ‘listen between the lines’. Her clients tell their story…their likes and dislikes, visions and dreams. With that information Grapes of Wrath finds the unique site that matches the client’s vision and designs a menu incorporating award winning cuisine and our great local offerings from the sea and the field. Dana puts together a time line for the couple and, last but not least she and her staff are on hand from beginning to end on the day of that most special event to insure a calm and successful event.
