Moore's Springs Manor

Catering with Love We are thrilled to share that our reception will be catered by our favorite local Italian chef, Margherita. She has been part of the groom’s planning journey for the ultimate honeymoon to Italy, and the bride and groom have made her restaurant their weekly tradition. Margherita feels like family to us, and in the spirit of love, she is personally preparing our meal rather than leaving it to her staff. Guests will enjoy a menu filled with our favorites, including Chicken Marsala (the bride and groom’s signature dish), a pasta bar, a fresh salad bar, and an assortment of authentic Italian desserts. It means the world to us to celebrate with food that reflects not only our love for Italy but also our deep connection to someone who has become part of our family story.
