We thoroughly enjoyed our “tasting” for the August wedding!! We were delighted to meet Joe, we felt like he was a long lost relative. He was so easy to talk to, and he provided a nice history of how Vernales came to be. Ashley was also extremely polite, kind, knowledgeable and eager to please, we are looking forward to working with her! The FOOD was out of this world!!! Every dish we sampled was just marvelous, and the presentation was beyond our expectations! You truly knocked it out of the park; and we look so forward and we will be so proud to share this BIG DAY with Vernales! Wow!!!
