Provence Catering and The Knot...Peerlessly professional and exceptionally skilled.

All we can say is WOW!!! Last evening's Knottie summer soiree at the stylish Chestnut Club in Philadelphia was a remarkable event and a huge success for Provence Catering. Over 200 beautiful brides enjoyed this PRIVATE bridal networking reception hosted by The Knot featuring the highly-acclaimed world class cuisine of Provence Catering.

The team of top-flight event professionals from The Knot did an exceptional job planning and executing this this EXCLUSIVE groundbreaking party. They were thrilled with the spectacular work of Provence Catering. As the invited guests eagerly entered the captivating Chestnut Club, the brides were blown away Provence's fantastically sublime presentation style that featured a delicious small plates tasting menu. The vibrant florals provided by Natural Designs were especially elegant and inviting. When combined with Provence's epicurean magic, this dynamic duo beautifully complimented the warm ambiance of the Chestnut Club.

The discerning brides loved the chic designer plates, refined glassware and elegant white linens provided by Dave of Select Rentals. Dave's team was a pleasure to work with and very helpful.
