Food, Glorious Food!
(Woman’s Journal, June 9, 2001)

……And what would make your wedding more memorable than a sumptuous meal shared by the couple and their guests?

Swan also has the expertise to handle the catering. This is where Benjie’s sister Joy Jacinto-Fontanilla, comes in.

Like the cake design, the menu for the wedding reception (whether brunch, lunch or dinner) should be finalized two months before the big day. Food tasting is usually done two weeks or a week before the wedding day.

Through the years, Joy has noticed the changing food preference of Filipin o bridal couples. In the past, the couples chose Filipino dishes like kare-kare and the like. Then Western food became all the rage. Nowadays, the trend is fusion. Couples order Filipino Food, along with the Chinese and American dishes.

Although Swan Catering has a prepared package for weddings, it’s a flexible one and the couple can ask for menu changes.

“We are known for quality and good food,” Joy beams.

On top of the fine food, Swan also takes care of the chairs, tables and the well-trained waiters for the grand celebration. Thrown in is the Presidential table décor, an option made available.

Joy reveals that they now have a reliable pool of clients. “The parents, who were our original customers, recommend us to their own grown children when they get married.”

Swan has mastered the fine art of catering to such an extent that they can service a big corporate event of 3,000 guests.

“We can even go as far as 4,000 people. That’s how organized we are. Catering is a craft we’ve perfected through the years.” Daniel Jacinto, another sibling of Joy and Benjie, avers.

Costings, as expected, depend on the packages chosen.
