Kampen Foods and Catering Tasting Event | Iowa Wedding Photographer

{A Wedding Catering Tasting Event at The Shores at Five Island | Emmetsburg, Iowa}

In the wedding photography industry, the most popular photographed details are the dress, florals, rings and decor. Rarely ever is the cuisine highlighted or even photographed for that matter! But in my opinion, it’s the wedding day meal that is the unsung hero! It’s what makes or breaks the wedding reception! Sure your guests will dote over the beautiful decor or party out with the rocking DJ all night, but the one thing that is on constant chatter for weeks after the big day is…the food. And a phenomenal feast brings on all the positive buzz! Each year, Kampen Foods and Catering host an exclusive tasting event just for their wedding clients that embodies more of a mock wedding reception. Guests arrive at The Shores at Five Island in Emmetsburg to a full banquet hall decked out to the nines. This year, 3 wedding planners and florists created stunning decor samples with MoJo Productions providing dinner music the entire night. But the best part of the night?? Of course, the FOOD!!!!!! Kampen’s provided a sampling of EVERY main and side dish they offer PLUS appetizers AND an entire salad spread! All of their wedding clients were able to try anything they wanted to see if it would make the cut for their wedding day meal. And as always, the food was AMAZING!!! I’m so thankful to have been invited back out again this year to photograph it! It was great to hang out and chit chat with some of my favorite wedding “frendors” (as I call them). This event is so unique and such a great way of deciding what you want to offer your guests on your big day! I HIGHLY recommend Kampen Foods and Catering!!!! They will impress your guests for weeks and even months to come! Hope to see you there next year!! 😉
