A Summer Wedding...

A Summer Wedding with Sweeping Pacific Views
Summer weddings are always breathtaking, but this celebration was truly unforgettable. With the sparkling Pacific Ocean as a backdrop, the day captured everything couples imagine when planning their Southern California wedding. Guests gathered together in the sunshine for a cliff top ceremony, followed by an evening of dancing and dining under the stars.
During cocktail hour, guests enjoyed an inspired selection of appetizers that showcased summer flavors. Passed trays featured filet atop baguette slices, with arugula, provolone, and a drizzle of truffle oil, and crispy nori topped with fresh poke. Creamy tomato soup shooters paired with mini grilled cheese bites offered a comforting, nostalgic favorite, as guests mingled and the ocean breeze drifted through the crowd.
After enjoying Caesar salads with house-made focaccia croutons, the guests were ready for the main course, with selections crafted to satisfy every palate. Boneless short ribs with a black peppercorn demi-glace delivered bold, hearty flavor, and the fresh seabass infused with sake, soy, and ginger was delicate and refined. A vegetarian favorite, the panko-crusted eggplant Parmesan, offered a deliciously rich and satisfying option, and sides of creamy garlic-thyme mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts topped with maple-glazed pecans and bacon rounded out the entrees.
Guests raved about Summit Event Catering’s famous vanilla custard bread pudding, drizzled with salted caramel sauce and topped with toasted almonds and fresh strawberries. It was the perfect sweet ending to a celebration by the sea.
From the dreamy weather to the sweeping ocean views and an unforgettable menu, this Malibu wedding was the definition of coastal romance. Couples planning their own Southern California wedding can look to Summit Event Catering for custom menus that showcase seasonal ingredients, unmatched service, and the kind of details that turn a special day into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
