The dreamiest of bat mitzvah’s took place earlier this year in the Berkeley hills and Jasmine catering was invited to make it happen.

We worked in conjunction with the event planner and the venue to coordinate and guide the evening towards a perfect celebration. We paid as much attention to the details as we did to the main course and the result was a great orchestration of team work.

After such a satisfying meal and a number of delicious hors d’oeuvres prior to that, we waited to allow for dessert to have its own entrance to the event. You can check out that delightful spread here.
