Vancouver  - Savoury Chef Foods Ltd.

Aurora Buchanan of Alicia Keats Wedding & Events orchestrated a beautiful modern chinese wedding (with a menu geared towards the west coast) at the Benson Furniture (Inform Interiors) building in Railtown. Her clients both appreciated design, and wanted to have a great party for friends and family. A family style menu was created for the party, and they partied into the evening.
