In February, Washington, D.C.-based Occasions Caterers won the prestigious Catersource Achievement in Catering Excellence (ACE) Award for Best Catered Wedding for a lavish wedding reception that took place in a supper club-style lounge tent at the couple’s property in McLean, Virginia.

Stand-out dishes from the expansive menu included passed hors d’oeuvres such as caviar bumps, crab in fragrant coconut milk and Hawaiian tuna poke on nori crackers; small plates such as lamb and mint pesto lollipops, petit filet mignon with smashed potatoes, and coquilles Saint Jacques; a taco cart station with miniature chicken tacos and tequila shots; a chef-attended sushi station with vegetable and seafood norimaki and nigiri; a bread boulangerie and cheese shop station; desserts including apple beignets filled with dulce de leche, miniature ginger crème brûlée garnished with candied ginger and an edible flower, and a profiterole tower; and more.
