Our July Golden Ladle winner is Roger Silva! 🥄

As Warehouse Supervisor, Roger helps keep everything moving behind the scenes. He makes sure our teams have what they need for every event, from equipment and supplies to all the little details that often go unnoticed until they’re missing.

Give Roger a task, a project, or a last-minute challenge, and his answer is almost always yes. Reliable, hardworking, and always willing to step up, he’s someone our team can count on year after year.

A few Roger facts:
• Favorite thing to watch: Soccer
• Favorite MEC dish: Chicken thighs
• Favorite color: Black

Congratulations, Roger! We’re lucky to have you on the team.

5 Things That Are Worth Investing in When Planning your wedding:
 
Some things are worth every penny. Your wedding day is one of them.
 
After catering thousands of weddings across the DMV, we’ve seen what couples remember most. It’s not just the décor or the flowers. It’s the experience. Here are five investments we think are always worth it:
 
1. Custom Specialty Cocktails
A signature cocktail is more than a drink. It’s a reflection of your story as a couple. Whether it’s inspired by your favorite vacation, your first date, or simply your favorite flavors, it’s a personal touch guests will remember.
 
2. Late-Night Bites
When the dance floor is full, guests are ready for a second round of food. Late-night bites keep the celebration going and are always one of the most talked-about parts of the night.
 
3. An Elevated Food or Beverage Experience
Go beyond the expected with interactive stations, chef-attended experiences, a ch*****ne tower, or a beautifully curated cocktail hour. These moments create excitement and turn dining into part of the celebration.
 
4. A Raw Bar
A beautifully displayed raw bar brings both elegance and excitement to cocktail hour. Fresh oysters, shrimp, crab claws, and seasonal seafood create a memorable focal point while giving guests something special to enjoy before dinner. Want to take it a step further? A roaming raw bar from Oyster Chef Rifko Meier @ OYSTERS XO is guaranteed to make an impression.
 
5. An Award-Winning Caterer
The right caterer does more than serve great food. They bring your vision to life, anticipate every detail, and make your guests feel cared for from the first toast to the last bite. After more than 25 years of creating unforgettable celebrations across the DMV, we’d like to think we’ve earned our place on that list
 
Which wedding upgrade would be at the top of your list?
