Cuscowilla Executive Chef, Richard Schafer

Chef Richard shares his wedding advice with you!

Richard Schafer, Cuscowilla Executive Chef

What advice do you have for brides? Remember to make your wedding menu (and your entire wedding!) about you and your groom. Your menu needs to be what you both like and what you both want!

What is the most important part of a wedding menu? Variety! You can have a couple special or unusual items but you should always have a few "safe" foods for the less adventurous eater. Here at Cuscowilla, I, along with our Events Manager, work with you to create your menu, working in your favorite foods and what you want but also giving you advice to create your perfect menu.

What is your favorite item that you serve at weddings? I would have to say our Brown Sugar Apple Wood Smoked Bacon Skewers. Guests are always a little surprised at the bacon skewers but once they've eaten one, they've fallen in love. The skewers offer a salty / sweet complex that we all love!

What items work best for wedding guests? A few things! We suggest a roasted beef that will take care of your guests looking for something more filling, while we also suggest a salad and a chicken that offer different options for the lighter eaters.

What is your favorite thing about weddings? I love how each wedding is special and different in a variety of ways. All of our wedding menus are customized and completely unique - each menu has a touch of the bride and the groom, which we love to see. I really enjoy the menu meetings that we have, getting to know the bride and groom, watching them work together and seeing their excitement for their big day!
