Let's Talk Dinner Flow! (And Who's the Maestro of Table Releases!)

Getting ready for that delicious dinner service at your big event? We've got a little secret sauce for a super smooth flow, and it's all about who's managing the munchies!

Here's the scoop: Your awesome DJ/MC is typically the grand maestro of table releases, not your fantastic Day-of-Coordinator.

Why does this distinction matter more than pineapple on pizza? (Just kidding... mostly!)

Your DJ/MC's Jam
- Think of your DJ/MC as the ultimate party flow expert! They're usually contracted to set the vibe, play the tunes, *and* gracefully announce when each table gets to hit the buffet (or be served). It's their rhythm, their stage! So, when you're interviewing, definitely chat about their dinner service game plan.

Your Coordinator's Superpower
- Your Day-of-Coordinator is your personal wedding superhero, focused on *your* zen and making sure *your* vision comes to life. Asking them to wrangle hungry guests for table releases is like asking Superman to untangle your headphones – it's just not their primary superpower, and it can lead to a little vendor chaos (and nobody wants a hangry photographer!).

When table releases go rogue, it's a bit like...
..a slow-motion food stampede...a game of musical chairs where no one knows when the music stops...and ultimately, it can stretch out dinner, dip guest satisfaction, and throw your whole carefully crafted timeline into a delightful disarray.

AWF's Advice
- Trust your pros! You hired them because they're amazing at what they do. Let your DJ/MC shine in their role as the dinner flow wizard. They've got this!

The (Possible) Tuba-Playing Exception
- Now, if you've hired a live band, you'll definitely want to chat with your event coordinator and the band leader about how they plan to manage table releases. It's a tad tricky to keep track of tables while rocking a tuba solo (Wait, there *will* be a tuba, right?!)

A friendly nod to our fellow Coordinators)
If you ever find yourself unexpectedly pressed into table release duties, make sure your pricing reflects that extra hustle! You're worth it!

Lastly, Need a Helping Hand?
Don't hesitate to chat with your experienced caterer! We've seen the good, the bad, and the hilariously chaotic of table releases. We're full of ideas and suggestions tailored to your menu, venue, and guest count. We're here to help make sure your dinner service is as smooth as perfectly melted cheese! 🧀

Open House The Hidden Meadow and Barn

Chef Maaren and I intended to be at the open house on Sunday to meet clients and feed them great food.

Unfortunately, life happened and we have to attend to some family business that popped up. As such, we won't be attending.

You should still go.

Angela, Kelci, and their staff do an amazing job and the other vendors will help you visualize your moment.

We're sorry for the short notice.

Don't forget to RSVP for our annual open house on Sunday, June 29th!💒 Whether you’re planning a wedding here or just want to see the venue in person for the first time, this is a great time to come visit. Bring your friends and family! We’ll have a lot of wonderful vendors here that can assist you in planning your big day. From caterers to photographers, and everything in between, these professionals are here to help with any questions that you might have.

We will be trying to keep a head count and ask that you please RSVP for a time slot: 10am-12pm, 12pm-2pm, or 2pm-4pm. Please RSVP using the link below:

Our Story

Since April 7, 2012 we’ve been putting fresh ingredients on our artisan house-made dough and baking it at your event in our mobile hardwood-fired oven. The result is a unique and truly craft pizza baked to perfection in 90 seconds. Often our ingredients are grown on the small farms of our Wisconsin neighbors, made in the the shop of our local butcher and dairy, or, like some of our mushrooms, harvested from the grounds of our twenty acres. Our business mission and vision is defined by the ethics, values, and interests of the founder and chef, Maaren Spears: do what she loves in an authentic and sustainable way, spread peace, compassion, and love while celebrating life, community, and people...all while sharing well made food. Through this alchemy of interests, passions, and vision Maaren has sustained a unique, well-respected, and successful catering business every spring, summer, and fall for over eight years. Our goal is to deliver more than a hand-tossed, fresh baked pizza to your event. Our wood-fired mobile pizza oven, extensive catering menu, and enthusiastic team adds a deliciously memorable experience to your celebration.

If you invite us to cater your special event, you will find an experienced partner bringing a heartfelt and professional enthusiasm to your event.

With our years of experience in everything from small rehearsal dinners to large weddings, corporate picnics to graduation parties, we can help. You can trust us to partner with you to create a memorable experience for you and your guests.

There is a real fire in our Italian style brick oven. Your guests will see their food being made right in front of them. This is an authentic, old world, wood-fired cooking experience that you and your guests will not forget.
