Where is it written that outdoor wedding receptions have to be low key & mainstream?

That isn’t how Jacquie’s Gourmet Catering works. We can do as posh, gourmet, candlelight, white tablecloth, and upscale as you wish – no matter the venue.

And speaking of venues, we have affiliations with over 20 outdoor/indoor wedding places in and around Indy. Downtown? Yes, indeed. Out in the country? You bet. Some with beautiful completely upscale wedding barns, others with horses (for stunning wedding pics!), and others with chateau-like settings.

We know how they each work, what to expect for your reception size, and what wedding amenities each has, we can also give you a information on costs. That means one phone call with us – rather than 20 from you, trying to track down the right person.

And when it comes to setting up the reception, oh, do we have creative ideas! Our chef and event team is terrific at bringing your romantic ideas to life, from décor to drinks, appetizers to flowers, dinners to lighting. Hey, we even have some wonderful bands to recommend.

Here's another bonus to working with Jacquie’s Gourmet Catering staff. Our event planners have been with us 8 to 14 years – not just a couple of months. We won’t pass you around to lots of people you don’t know either. You will paired with the planner of your choice – and really get listened to – from your budget to your vision. We will make sure your wedding day goes forward without a hitch.

Here’s what we like about outdoor receptions:

• They are frequently less pricey than indoor spaces.
• You can still have an intimate ceremony, without folks feeling crowded.
• If your event is in the evening, there’s nothing more romantic than getting married as the sun slowly sinks beneath the horizon.
• The trees and the outdoor setting make for lovely photographs.
• Hello, flower-covered gazebo!
• Outdoor weddings mean nature’s abundance all around -- you won’t need as many bouquets and flower arrangements.
• Bonus: Your dog(s) can be a part of your ceremony.
• Consider plants in flowerpots as giveaways for a lasting memory of the event.
• String lighting helps keep things fun as the evening arrives.
• Stay outside and keep things casual with a big bonfire, or move inside for music and more fun.

You see what we mean? No matter your vision or budget, we got you covered, from venue to ideal dates and times, inclement weather, to signature cocktails and fantastic gourmet foods.
