❤️Julia & Monty are booked with and for their May 2026 wedding day! They have been busy bees with their wedding planning.💯

Julia praised owner Leon for being their first contact by phone in February who was fantastic & sold them, to look no further for a caterer!👊🏼

Our future bride & groom met in college through mutual friends. When Julia initially observed a classic 1968 Dodge Super B, she said, “I’m going to find the owner of this car, and I am getting a ride!” The owner was her groom! They’ve been cruising through life together ever since.🚙They LOVE to travel, and hope to honeymoon in Italy. Their fur baby is Freddy. They both attended Embry-Riddle University. Our bride is a teacher & our groom is an engineer.

Congratulations Monty & Julia! We are excited to support your special day😘
