Our grazing tables look particularly stunning when we can use risers and levels. They create vignettes that remind us of a still life painting. Would love to see an oil painting of this gorgeous wedding grazing table!

When our client (and real life sweet friend) asked us to do a whimsical and colorful grazing table, we knew it would be a match made in heaven. So fun getting to put together this beautiful spread for Erin’s 40th! We love getting creative prompts that allow us to assemble a unique centerpiece!

Why have one grazing table when you could have two? Loved getting to see folks enjoy the two grazing tables we made for United Airlines!

As a small business we don’t have many co-workers, so it’s always lovely to meet other amazing vendors and venue staff. These other folks help so much behind the scenes to craft the perfect event. Wedding season can get very busy, but seeing our grazing tables at beautifully curated events makes it all so special!

Anyone can be a Maven! We had too much fun at our w**e and cheese tasting the other night, and would love to come to an event for you and your friends! Joanna is a wealth of cheesy knowledge and happy to share her w**e pairing expertise. Enjoy great w**e, learn to craft the perfect bite, and finish the event with lush charcuterie boards crafted by The Cheese Maven herself! Find more information on tastings and workshops on our website! (Link in our bio!)
