Both our families commented on how well Dena managed to capture the authentic flavors of both Thailand and Korea. We had and still have family and friends who tell us that it was the best meal they ever had at a wedding.
Can’t get better than Dena’s food or professionalism!
The passed appetizers and buffet dinner we selected made for a very comforting and special first meal as husband and wife.
