Vendor Spotlight: Spice of Life Catering

 - by Stephanie

Spice of Life Catering has been on our list of approved vendors since 2006 and operating since 2004. Chef and owner, Mike Bomberg, brings to the table years of experience as a chef in some of San Antonio’s top restaurants and hotels. You know that when working with Chef Mike and Spice of Life that you will be getting quality products, a unique and customized menu as well as remarkable service.

While serving as the executive chef at the Dominion Country Club, Chef Mike began to take on side jobs for his clientele, providing them with delectable business lunches and scrumptious private dinners. Pretty soon he knew that working for himself and creating the food he loved to prepare was where he needed to be, and thus Spice of Life Catering was born.    

What we love about Spice of Life is their approach to ensuring that their clients get the best value and service for their money. They create distinctive menus for each of their clients to guarantee that their event will be completely unique. While they do offer set menus, they consult with their clients and connect with their hopes, dreams and history. What a great idea to create a menu that reflects the couple’s first date, or what they ate on their first vacation together. Investing a little bit of time into their couple’s history really makes all the difference.

Some of their most popular choices include ethnic foods, chef stations (where uniformed chefs prepare signature dishes to order in front of guests—it’s quite a show!) and family style service. With dinner service starting at $15 per person, they have something to suit the needs of all their customers. They also have the experience to back it up too, with hundreds of satisfied clients every year. Just call them up for a consultation and they will create an exceptional menu for you and your fiancé as well offer a complimentary tasting to try out their mouth-watering fare! Call Jessica Silvaggio, Spice of Life’s newly married catering manager (she can totally relate to you brides planning for your big day) for a tailored menu at 210.366.1220 or check them out on the web at www.spiceoflifesa.com.

Spice of Life Catering loves working with us too! We are one of their top venue choices because of our prime location and elegant décor. We have a great partnership with Spice of Life as they enter their 5th year on our list of approved vendors. If you have a chance to venture out tonight, and you’re in the mood for first-rate food, check out their open house at 6:00 p.m. at their 11319 West Avenue location.

Until next time, happy planning!

Congratulations to all the newly engaged couples! A couple weekends ago we ventured out to the new JW Marriott for the San Antonio Wedding’s Magazine’s Wedding Fair. Thanks to all the brides and vendors that stopped by our booth to say hello and check out our latest packages. A very special thank you to An Event to Remember (www.saaneventtoremember.com) for providing our linens and floral decor. We love you guys!

We also would like to showcase some of our past wedding shows from this past January. The Bridal Extravaganza  event featured rustic and natural colors and florals. Our tables were adorned with ivory linens with copper organza and velvet swirl overlays. Small arrangements anchored the decor with red roses, curly willow, stargazers and more all around the booth. These linens are currently available from An Event to Remember and can be added to any of our package as an upgraded fabric.

The first Wedding Fair of the year had a more playful color scheme with charcoal gray and yellow accents. Our 6ft tables were dressed in An Event to Remember’s Charcoal Grey pintuck floor length fabric and the cocktail tables had a Mist Silver satin linen. The floral arrangements combined classic ivory roses with bright yellow spider mums to create a fun, yet classic arrangement.

We can’t forget to mention our awesome photo montages provided by Alamo Photographic (www.alamophotographic.com)! We love their work and their photos were the perfect addition to our booth!
