A Refined Culinary Experience at The Reception Wedding Show
We believe weddings should feel intentional, elevated, and effortlessly welcoming.
For The Reception Wedding Show at Armature Works, our team curated a kitchen-inspired culinary experience designed to reflect how we approach every event. Thoughtful design, seasonal ingredients, and menus built to impress without feeling overdone.
This was no traditional “wedding show” display. We transformed our space into a refined interpretation of a working kitchen. Fresh herbs, citrus, and produce were layered throughout the design, paired with warm lighting and a suspended pot rack that added texture, movement, and a sense of authenticity.
The result was an experience that felt both sophisticated and inviting, a balance we strive for in every Tampa Bay wedding experience we cater.
A Menu Designed for Modern Weddings
Our tasting menu focused on bold flavors, elevated comfort, and guest-friendly presentation. Dishes that feel familiar yet refined.
Passed Bites
Served on wooden boards with custom picks
The “Good Burger”
pimento cheese, candied bacon, cold-fermented pickle
Balsamic Mushroom Smashed Slider (VG, GF Bun)
toum, arugula, pickled red onion
Each bite was designed to be approachable, indulgent, and inclusive; offering plant-forward and gluten-free friendly options without compromise.
Stationary Small Plates
Oxtail & Asiago Stuffed Gnocchi
warm gnocchi finished with hot oxtail ragù, Calabrian chili relish, Romano cheese
Honey Bourbon Pork Belly (GF)
sautéed pork belly, white cheddar grits, yellow pickled mustard seeds
These small plates showcased layered technique and depth of flavor while remaining perfectly suited for cocktail-style wedding receptions or perfectly suited to be served as plated entrees or family style platters.
Where Design and Cuisine Intersect
For us, catering extends beyond the plate. The design of a station, the flow of service, and the sensory experience all play a role in how guests remember an event.
By incorporating fresh ingredients directly into the display and highlighting the tools of the kitchen, we created an environment that felt immersive, intentional, and distinctly “Good Food.”
It’s this philosophy that guides our work across weddings, galas, and private events throughout Tampa Bay.
