So, you’re planning an outdoor wedding. Maybe you’re picturing tipis, smoke curling from a firepit, a chilled-out playlist on in the background while you sip cocktails from jam jars. You want the kind of day that feels like you – laid-back, full of soul, and completely untraditional.

Well then, we need to talk about Hardy’s Catering – because they’re doing things differently, and we’re into it.
