Most caterers offer Wedding Packages with menu
options—usually presented as set menu, and standard
banquet set-up—usually a simple floral piece that matches
the soon-to-weds’ motif. Couples who would like to adapt
a theme or a unique concept for their special day need to
hire an event stylist or pay more for upgrades and add-ons
on set-up and menu. A caterer who offers more than the
usual is a rare find. The prominent question is: “Do you go
for food or do you go for style?”
Shekinah Dishes, Incorporated says YOU can have both!

STYLING BEYOND
THE STANDARDS
Each soon-to-wed couple has a unique love story to tell,
and each wedding is inspired differently from the others.
The desire to be part of that moment when all things
happen magically is the motivation of Shekinah Dishes
in extending their services beyond just the standards of
serving food and adorning tables with flowers.
“Our packages offer beyond the usual inclusions
needed in a wedding reception. We have included
event styling and customized food presentation as part
of our services. From the simplest concepts to the most
extravagant themes, we make sure that we translate
what our couple-clients have envisioned for their big
day. As we listen to the couples’ ideas, we discover
that their personalities and characters play a big role in
choosing their theme and concept. We assist them in
creating and adding a personalized touch both to the
venue set-up and food presentation.” shares Mike
Lacuesta, General Manager of Shekinah Dishes.
Shekinah Dishes wedding planning stages includes
conceptualizing themes with the couple; crafting and
constructing the couple’s backdrop; creating a photo
ops area; customizing the guests’ registration area;
personalizing the tables for VIPs and guests including
even the lay-out designs of the menu cards, place cards
and table numbers. With these, couples can suggest,
invent, and propose even their wildest concept or
preference.
“We enjoy creating ‘wedding activities’ for the guests—
not just putting up mere displays or decorations.” Mike
continues to share. “To name a few of the concepts
Shekinah Dishes and the clients have shared are the
following:
“Peep through the Doors & Windows” -- these display
the table assignment of the guests—having their names

Love Notes & Messages

Guest Canvas
written on transparent films.
“3D Photo Frames—Strike a Pose” –these use frames
hanged on trees or pinned on walls where guests can
use as their digi-photo backdrop.
“Welcome Door” – best displayed outdoors, this
creates a feel of entering a different realm filled with love
and magic.
“Love Notes & Messages” –this display requests
guests to scribble advises and messages to the couple.
“Photo Nook” – where couples display their pictures
and love story.
“Guest Canvas” – instead of guestbook, these are
painted canvases where guest can sign their names as
they celebrated with the newly weds.

FUSION CUISINE—BEYOND
THE BASICS
Soon-to-wed couples are also meticulous with their
menu choices. More often than not, the wedding
reception feast leaves a distinct impression to
the guests. Shekinah Dishes’ goal is to leave that
impeccable impression of serving the best quality
food—in flavor and presentation.
“Our passion to satisfy not only our clients but also
their guests led us to concoct different menu and
food presentation—thus calling our menu specialties
“Fusion Cuisine”. We do these by adapting foreign
and regional delicacies then transforming their
flavors to fit our Filipino palates. Its like enjoying an
international buffet with the ‘homey’ feel of our own
unique flavor. It’s like having our signature on each
food we serve.” Mike explains.
Shekinah Dishes also customize menu for couples
who want their theme reflected on the food choices.
Soon-to-wed couples go as detailed as renaming
the food and creating a personalized buffet
choices. Creating food concepts are easier said
than done. This requires several taste tests and
flavor adjustments—the success of this hard work
is what makes a wedding day magical and special.
As Mike concludes, “Shekinah Dishes Team is
committed to passionately serve and CELEBRATE
THE WAY THE CLIENTS WANT IT.
