Interview with Colleen and Linda from A Passionate Pear

When it comes to the wedding industry so much of what goes into making the day happen is never seen or spoken about. One such aspect which is super important is the food! It comes out on time, immaculately presented and tastes delicious and then you get on with the celebrations, right? But have you ever thought about what goes on behind the scenes? Linda and Colleen from A Passionate Pear were kind enough to answer a bunch of questions (there are a lot) that I sent them with thoughtful, honest answers along with a bit of humour.

What these guys do is nothing short of amazing! If you ever have a chance to peer into the little catering tent and then sit down and enjoy the meal that appears in front of you, your mind will be blown!

This conversation covers everything from how early food starts arriving for the wedding, to how they design their menu and what happens long after you’ve finished your meal and are back on the dance floor. There is also a funny story that involves a tea towel!

A big thank you to Colleen and Linda for taking the time to do this. I really appreciate it and I hope anyone reading this finds it as interesting and entertaining as I did.
