There are two types of restaurants.  There are the restaurants that are completely worth waiting over an hour for the table, and there are the restaurants that are not.  Of the ones that are worth the wait, there is a sub-category of restaurants that are so noteworthy and so incredible that they are worth buying [...]

The second half of the “pre-wedding” wedding reception went just as well, if not better, than the first half.  (Scroll down if you missed the last post!) Guests continued to hop in and out of Queso, munch at the candy bar and sip on cocktails until it was dinner time.  Once the sun went down, [...]

Last month we booked a “pre-wedding” wedding reception.  The bride and groom were getting married abroad and wanted to have a wedding reception in the States prior to their big day.   This is pretty standard when a couple decides on a destination wedding.  What is not standard is planning a “pre-wedding” reception that begins at 2pm, ends at 2am [...]

Seven days after the Christmas party, there we were again.
In the garage.  Building a tent.  Watching flooring go down.  Gazing down the long, curved driveway past 7 box trucks driven by men waiting patiently (well, maybe not so patiently…but waiting nonetheless) to unload flowers, furniture, lighting, draping and crate upon crate of wine glasses.  We sipped [...]

I hope everyone had a great weekend full of celebrating and football.  I thought I would post a fun and lively party this morning to give everyone a jolt of energy.  It’s not all cocktail parties and wedding receptions over here at A Fare Extraordinaire.  In fact, my favorite parties are the ones in which [...]

Many people assume that since we are known as one of  Houston’s top catering companies, we only cater large events.  Au contraire!  We are known to darken the door of many businesses (such as the University of Houston and Texas Childrens Hospital) and private homes for small gatherings of all sorts.  Just recently we catered [...]

I just wrapped up a busy and successful weekend.  While most of our clients live inside of the loop, one of repeat clients owns a gorgeous home in the suburbs where we have been a part of numerous events.  This client taught me what it means to be flexible.  They also taught me the importance of having [...]
