This past weekend, Chez Hay had the opportunity to work with two great groups at their events: Lincoln Christian and Phi Kappa Theta. Lincoln Christian occupied our space downtown and enjoyed Balsamic Marinated Chicken with Provolone, Fettuccine Alfredo, Smashed Potatoes, and Caesar Salad. At the UNL Student Union, Phi Kappa Theta dined on a served lunch of Chicken Breasts with Sundried Tomato and Havarti, Pasta Primavera, Potatoes, Garlic Rolls, Salad, and Dessert Bites. Thank you to both groups for thinking of Chez Hay for your events!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at the Wedding Fair this past Sunday at the Cornhusker Hotel! It was fun getting to meet all the new brides and their families.

The Wedding Fair this past weekend is one of the many signs that the wedding season this year is approaching fast. It’s sometimes easy for the stress of planning a wedding to be overwhelming to couples and their loved ones. To help reduce this amount of stress, we work together with our couples to create custom menus that are unique not only to their wedding, but also to their personalities. By having an open approach, we are able to walk people through our menu items and help them create what works best for them so they don’t have the stress of trying to figure it out on their own.

We are excited to be working with all of our new couples and their families this wedding season and we look forward to meeting more new couples throughout the year.

Welcome to the first Chez Hay blog of 2012!  We hope everyone’s New Year’s festivities found them in good spirits and looking forward to the coming year.

Thank you to everyone who ordered, booked, viewed the space, attended, and spoke with us at events in 2011! We hope to work with you again soon in 2012!
