Well, thanks to some hard work (largely on Nena's part) we pulled it off...cooking for 125 people or so...doing 95% of the work in our tiny kitchen 45 minutes away from where the actual party took place.
Everyone raved about the food, so we felt really good about that. I even handed out a few business cards to people...of course I'm not sure either of us wants to do this again any time soon. It was much more work that either of us expected...
We had what we consider a pretty interesting menu...a few standards...but some unique things that you'll never see at most catered parties. I'm not going to post every recipe...but if you'd like something in particular, just let me know and I'll gladly email it to you.
Check out the pictures
What a great job! Everything looks absolutely fantastic. And now, I'm starving...thanks!

The food looks great. How much of it was prepared in your tiny kitchen and how much at the party? How did you keep it hot?

Most of the food was actually served at room temp. We did most of the cooking and prep work at home.
On site, I did grill the wings (the other meat was all grilled the day before at our house) and we assembled the cups/bruschetta on site...and backed the various dips, pastas etc. on site as well.
We're happy with how the food turned out...that's for sure.
