When planning your elopement in Colorado, have you thought “I really want something nice for dinner but don’t have enough people or don’t want to have a caterer”? Well I have some other options for you that would be more suited for a smaller amount of people! Here are some of my favorite chefs and one company that has a unique idea!
1. Chef Abhay Nair with House of Nair.
Chef Abhay is based in Aspen, CO and offers a wide variety of options that incorporate flavorful infused of Caribbean and Indian foods! This guy is meticulous and honestly a treasure to talk to! Back story, I was going to film their wedding before I got pregnant and my due date happened to be a week before their wedding. I am still sad about it lol. But none the less, I highly recommend Chef Abhay when in the Aspen/Snowmass area. And it gets better, there is also a cannabis-infused menu option. I know what you’re thinking “No way I want to be to high to enjoy the night” or maybe you’re thinking “Hell fucking yes!”. Regardless your thoughts, this is a carefully designed menu to experience a high that is not overwhelming but enjoyable! And it adds a little fun to the atmosphere!
I have worked with him personally at a previous elopement and all I can say is him and his wife are lovely people and focused in the kitchen, it was great to watch and the plates looked so delicious that I wished I was a guest to try them! His background gives him a wide variety of experience in different cuisines but he handles them with care and love. Something fun that is also offered is cooking classes! Who doesn’t love a unique date night idea to pick up some tips and tricks!
3. My final option, which I personally think is so fun, is The Peppered Pear.
The create charcuterie boxes that would be great for elopements, brunch or just a party! Located in Colorado Springs and a veteran/woman owned business. Prices can be found through their site and on instagram.
Wow, what amazing options you now have! I hope this was helpful and gives you a great jumping point for your elopement and what you can envision for your menu! Until next time!
