Food

Food is one of the most memorable parts of any wedding celebration, and at Fresh Meadow, we treat it as a true expression of hospitality and craftsmanship welcoming you and your guest to our home.

Choosing Fresh Meadow Country Club means choosing an artisan approach in every detail from the stringent procurement of the finest ingredients to the thoughtful preparation and presentation of everything we touch.

Unlike many banquet halls that rely on hot boxing meals in advance, we proudly serve all dinners with a plated à la carte approach. Our dedicated team of chefs and cooks assemble each dish to order.

This ensures that every guest experiences food at its best, a true dining experience worthy of your perfect day.

Let Fresh Meadow and our team elevate your wedding with cuisine that reflects care, quality, innovation and an unwavering commitment to excellence that has earned us our reputation.

Our culture of hospitality excellence and oversight is driven by our General Manager / COO who happens to be one of only 75 Certified Master Chefs in the States and a recognized Global Master Chef as well.
