3. Feed the Soul

Soulman’s Catering

With mini pancakes, fruit, and more, this maple syrup fountain is perfect for the brunch-loving bride. Red Maple Catering doesn’t stop there, though. Their passion is creating playful dishes with bright colors, complex flavors, and the most artistic presentations from appetizers to full-course dinners, food spreads, desserts, and more.
