Now that the weather is cooling off and the days are getting shorter, we decided to look back to this summer and get a little warmth and inspiration from some past events.  On July 10th, Royal Fig had a big role in the wedding day of Carmel Richards and Todd Sanders at Mercury Hall.  We [...]

In August of this year,Camp Lucy opened for its first wedding, and Royal Fig Catering was there to be a part of the magic.  Camp Lucy is a stunning new wedding venue located in the hill country of Dripping Springs.  It is an inspired blend of Asian and American architecture and influences, and owner Whit [...]

We have catered several weddings at the Texas Federation of Women’s Club Mansion this fall, and we’ve loved every one of them. However, the wedding of Kristin and Nik was one of my favorites because of the amazing teamwork we experienced with all of the vendors and the INCREDIBLE couple and family.  Barbara Hearne from [...]

We recently had the chance to cater the wedding of Shea and Louie at the beautiful Umlauf Sculpture Gardens.  Their wedding was featured on weddingchicks.com with incredibly unique photography by Azini Photography. The menu for this cocktail reception reflected their Cajun roots and included some veggie friendly options.  We started with a bountiful cheese display [...]

Megan & Stahl Vista West Ranch 7/17/10 When Megan contacted us exactly one month before her wedding day to discuss catering options, we were a little nervous.   Could an entire wedding be planned and executed in such a short time?  As it turned out, we had nothing to worry about.  Megan was a breeze [...]

Several months ago, Cortney Zieky, the “Z” of BZ Events, called me to ask if their team could hold their monthly staff meeting at our office.  So they called in an etiquette coach to do a seminar for their staff as we cooked up some tasty treats!  On the menu was: Grilled Flank Steak with [...]

Living in Texas, there are certain times of year when outdoor weddings are absolutely ideal, and as such, exceedingly popular.  Of course, now is not that time!  We’re in the heat of summer and it’s hard to imagine doing anything outside that involves more than a bathing suit and a beach towel, much less a [...]

Our famous “Pig Roast Wedding” at The Allan House with photographer, Ben Godkin, and coordinators, BZ Events, is currently being featured on the popular blog, ROCK ‘N ROLL BRIDE. Though they didn’t include our favorite picture (the bride singing to the pig head), it was great to see some new shots from that night.  We’re [...]
