We aren't the typical caterer. We believe food is an expression of who you are and how it's presented. If your looking for the old cafeteria buffet style, will that's not us.  

Chef DJ has brought us into the high-technology world of cooking. He is creating a kitchen most restaurants can only dream of. You will be amazed at his abilities to bring 300 elevated hot entree's to your guests at once. 

​

The beauty of seated dinners and plated meals is that couples are looking to take that concept to the next level and introduce this fine dinning to their guests. We see every dinner, set up as more of a unique experience, instead of a typical three-course meal. We expose guests to various elegant food options and on occasion are able to present a risk food that guests have never had the opportunity or occasion to try on their own.  We want to bring back life to wedding reception food as more of a unique fine dinning wedding reception experience. We provide duo entrees along with vegetarian and gluten-free options as alternatives for those guests on special diets.

Articles - Cigar Bar

Are you ready for the ultimate cigar and lounge experience? 

We are ecstatic to Introduce Etre Farm’s newest addition: Articles Cigar Bar. 

​

From the moment you take your first step into the lounge, you can expect only the best in terms of the atmosphere, sophistication, and a refined cigar selection. We believe that a fine cigar is a cherry on top of a perfect evening, and there is

no better place to do this than at Articles. With wall-to-floor artwork, televisions, and novels, you can kick back, unwind, and connect in our elevated lounge designed with sophistication and style in mind. 

​

We pride ourselves on serving the finest selection of cigars and believe that every day is a celebration. Indeed, if this past year has taught us anything, it is that every day is a day to be celebrated. So don’t wait for a “special” occasion to pop the bubbly or smoke your favorite cigar. 

​

If you need further persuasion, expert researchers at theUniversity of Michigan studying the effect of smoking on the human brain have shown that cigar smoke heightens the brain’s natural system of chemicals called endogenous opioids. These chemicals play a role in suppressing painful sensations, elevating positive emotions, and creating a sense of reward. 

Proof that a fine cigar can help you to take a step back from the stressors of life. 

​

There is no better feeling than the feeling you get when you enter a sophisticated lounge with  sophisticated company, but the proof is in the pudding, as they say. The best way to find out is to check out Articles firsthand. Grab a few friends and head our way. Consult our expert staff and take a look at our selection.  We are confident that you will want to return time after time. 

We look forward to serving you.

Spirits & Soul is available for private gatherings of up to ___ people. Please inquire for more information about how to reserve this space for an upcoming party or event.  

 
"We are the artisans that fabricate your dreams into reality."

We believe every couple is unique. They each have their own vision and personality they want to showcase through florals.

Many couples look to us for floral budget, this can be hard to determine. Floral visions are as unique as each of our couples. Because of this, every wedding floral budget is unique.

​

Designers ask, How do you envision the event? What style inspires you? Are you drawn to more greenery? Do you have a favorite flower? Do you have an inspiration board to show us what you are more drawn to? 

​

Again, these questions help us to allocate your budget accordingly to your must-haves.

​

As a general rule of thumb, 15-20% of overall wedding budget should be reserved for florals.
