Eco-Friendly Ideas for Your Green Nashville Wedding: Locally Sourced Catering Options
Thursday, July 7, 2011
Happy July!
It's Ashley with iHospitality, here again. As we get into the thick of summer, great food is making center stage whether at a BBQ, family reunion or summer dinner party. I decided to dig deep into my knowledge book this month to provide a great list of caterers that love to keep locally sourced food on the menu. Nashville is surrounded by so many great family owned farms and producers, and I thought it only appropriate to highlight the caterers who support them. Incorporating a locally sourced, seasonal menu on your wedding day truly brings you up close and personal with the farm to table movement.
