How did you get started as a wedding pro?

It all started when clients who loved Chef Mario Pagán’s food began asking if we could cater their weddings. From there, our team jumped in, and we quickly fell in love with the excitement of weddings—helping couples create amazing, memorable experiences with great food and seamless service. What began as a few special requests turned into one of our favorite things to do, and we’ve been making weddings unforgettable ever since.

Share a piece of advice to reduce stress in the wedding planning process.

From our experience, one of the best ways to cut down on wedding planning stress is by hiring a caterer and planner you truly trust. When you have a team who knows what they’re doing, especially in the food and event planning areas, it makes everything feel so much easier. At Nueva Mesa, we love taking that stress off couples’ plates—literally and figuratively—so they can enjoy the process and, most importantly, their big day. When you’re in good hands, it really lets you focus on what matters most.

What's your favorite wedding tradition and why?

One of our favorite wedding traditions is the first dance. It’s such a beautiful moment where the couple takes a pause to truly enjoy each other and the significance of the day. It marks the beginning of their marriage and the journey ahead, while also reflecting the love and support of everyone there to celebrate with them.

Our clients often tell us how seamless and stress-free their experience with us was. They appreciate the attention to detail, not just in the food but in every part of the service. We’ve heard things like, “The meal was the highlight of the day,” and “You made our vision come to life beyond what we imagined.” We love hearing that we’ve helped create lasting memories and that we were able to exceed their expectations in both flavor and service.
