Catering

We pride ourselves on offering a unique and memorable culinary experience exclusively for wedding celebrations. Our approach to wedding catering is deeply personal and hands-on. We prepare all our dishes on site, right within the scenic embrace of our specially designed outdoor kitchen. This kitchen isn't just any ordinary cooking space; it's been tailor-made to incorporate the rustic charm and efficiency of outdoor cooking, featuring an impressive giant smoker and a robust rock grill, which add an unmistakable aroma and flavor to our dishes that simply can't be replicated elsewhere.

Understanding the importance of fresh ingredients in creating dishes that are not only delicious but also a feast for the senses, we make it a point to source our ingredients from local suppliers. This commitment to freshness and quality ensures that every bite reflects the best of what our region has to offer. Our team of dedicated chefs and kitchen staff begin their day in the early hours, long before dawn breaks, on the day of your wedding. This allows us ample time to meticulously prepare and cook everything from scratch, ensuring that every dish served is at its peak of flavor and freshness.

The accolades and recognition we've received over the years can be largely attributed to our unwavering commitment to quality, freshness, and a genuine love for what we do. Our food isn't just a part of your wedding; it's an experience that we carefully craft to ensure it becomes a highlight of your special day, leaving you and your guests with memories that will be cherished for years to come. Our culinary offerings have truly put us on the map, setting us apart as not just caterers, but as creators of exceptional experiences that celebrate love, commitment, and the joy of coming together.

The Team

Guided by the expert hand of our Executive Chef Michael, our kitchen becomes a stage where culinary artistry unfolds. The ensemble cast of this gastronomic performance includes a highly skilled team of chefs and sous chefs, each bringing their own unique flair and expertise to the table. This talented brigade works in harmony, weaving their magic into every dish they craft. It's important to note the exclusivity of our culinary endeavors; we dedicate our talents to a select number of Neverland Weddings each season. This limited engagement approach allows us to maintain a focus on quality, detail, and personalized service that would be impossible to replicate on a larger scale.

Having such a remarkable pool of culinary talent at our disposal is, without a doubt, a rare privilege. This isn't just a group of individuals who cook food; they're creators, artists who use flavors, textures, and aromas as their medium, crafting experiences that linger in the memory long after the last bite has been savored. Over the years, the unparalleled dedication and creativity of our team have not only defined our identity but have also established our reputation. We're known not just for good food, but for unexpectedly wonderful culinary experiences that surprise and delight our guests.

This reputation for excellence in the culinary arts is a testament to the passion, skill, and commitment of our team. Each wedding we cater is an opportunity for us to showcase our love for great food and our desire to create unforgettable moments. It's this commitment to culinary excellence that has become the hallmark of our service, making each Neverland Wedding a testament to the extraordinary capabilities of our kitchen team.

What's Included

At Neverland, when we say 'full service catering,' we truly mean it in every sense of the word. Our comprehensive service begins the moment the bridal party makes their grand arrival at the Cabin, marking the start of a day filled with joy, celebration, and exquisite dining. Our dedicated team is on hand from that first significant moment, ensuring that every aspect of the catering experience is seamless and exceptional. This unwavering support and meticulous attention to detail continue throughout the day, right up until the last dance of the reception. With Neverland's full service catering, every culinary detail is taken care of, from start to finish, allowing the bride, groom, and their guests to immerse themselves fully in the magic of their special day without a single worry about the dining experience.

Buffet Format

Our approach to dining is centered around a buffet-style service, which we meticulously organize to ensure both efficiency and a luxurious experience. To achieve this, we set up as many as four identical buffet lines, each extending 20 feet in length. This setup allows us to cater to every 50 guests with a dedicated line, significantly reducing wait times and ensuring that everyone can enjoy our delicious offerings without the inconvenience of long queues.

We take great pride in the immediacy with which our food is served. As soon as our dishes are perfectly prepared and ready to be enjoyed, they are promptly presented on the buffet. This not only maintains the freshness and optimal temperature of the food but also enhances the overall dining experience by allowing our guests to indulge in our culinary creations without delay.

The choice of a buffet over plated service is deliberate and thoughtful. Plated meals, while traditionally considered formal, come with limitations, particularly in portion control, which can detract from the indulgence and variety that a buffet offers. Furthermore, in a setting that may not offer climate control, plated meals can present challenges in maintaining the food's ideal serving condition. A buffet, on the other hand, embraces the abundance and allows guests the freedom to select from a variety of dishes according to their taste and preference, making it a truly luxurious way to dine.

Our buffet service is designed not just to feed but to delight and satisfy, ensuring that the dining aspect of your event is as memorable and enjoyable as the occasion itself. It's a reflection of our commitment to excellence in hospitality, where the quality of food and the comfort of our guests are our top priorities.

Greenware

Neverland Farms takes immense pride in our commitment to environmental stewardship, which is intricately woven into the essence of our venue. The inherent characteristics of our property and its structures naturally align us with eco-friendly practices. However, our dedication to sustainability extends far beyond the basics. We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint in every aspect of our service, particularly in how we present our food and beverages.

In our quest to marry sustainability with quality, we choose only the finest eco-conscious products for our dining experiences. Our plates are crafted from fallen palm leaves, which are then meticulously pressed into dinnerware that not only looks elegant but also resembles sturdy wood. For our beverages, we provide cups made from biodegradable materials like corn and paper, ensuring that every sip is as kind to the environment as it is enjoyable for our guests.

Our commitment to eco-friendly practices extends to all our paper products, which are made from sustainable resources such as Bagasse and Wheat Straw, offering a responsible alternative to traditional paper. The utensils for our appetizers are equally thoughtful, made from sustainable materials like potato starch, bamboo, cypress, and corn, blending functionality with environmental responsibility.

In line with our green philosophy, we generally refrain from using glass in the hall to ensure the safety and comfort of our barefoot dancers. Instead, we provide beautiful vintage flatware for our dinner buffet, adding a touch of elegance and nostalgia to the dining experience without compromising our environmental values.

We do, however, make selective exceptions to elevate the dining experience while still honoring our commitment to sustainability. For instance, we use vintage clear bottle glass plates exclusively for the buffet and provide stemware at the wine bar, ensuring that these elements enhance the overall ambiance and enjoyment of our guests without detracting from our eco-friendly ethos.

Bar & Beverages

At the Wedding Barn, our commitment to your guests' comfort and satisfaction is reflected in our meticulous approach to refreshment services. We recognize the importance of keeping your guests refreshed and content, which is why we provide an abundant variety of non-alcoholic beverages. From the moment they arrive before the ceremony to the last dance at the reception, your guests will find an endless supply of drinks at their disposal. These beverages are offered on a convenient self-serve basis, empowering your guests to indulge in their favorites as often as they like, with no restrictions. This ensures a joyful, hydrated crowd throughout your special day.

To further enhance the overall experience and reduce any potential wait times, we have strategically arranged separate serving stations for each type of beverage. This thoughtful organization promotes a seamless flow, allowing guests to quickly and easily access their drinks of choice without the hassle of long lines.

For those couples seeking to elevate their Fantasy Package with an added touch of sophistication and celebration, we provide the option to include a Hosted Beer, Wine, and Champagne Bar. Available for a duration of 4 to 5 hours, this premium feature invites your guests to savor a handpicked selection of alcoholic beverages. With a range of both house and premium varieties available, this bar service introduces an element of refined festivity to your event, creating an atmosphere of luxury and enjoyment that complements the joyous occasion.
