Flowers We Love

Flowers can add a lot to your next meeting or event.  A touch of color, a hint of whimsy, and the meeting room is transformed from the sterile white space to a more welcoming and inviting space.  Wedding flowers do the same - they set the tone of your wedding, add your individual touch to the event, and serve as a beautiful decoration.



We love integration at ZHG, and making your wedding or event easy to plan.  We have our own DJ serivce, our own china and flatware, our own contracts with linen and our own floral service.  It makes the process of streamlining your event much easier when you come to us as a "one stop shop." 



In fact, we're so proud of our floral department, we like to display them around our office, and have them at our meetings and tastings.  We get a lot of compliments on them, and we're proud that we can offer such beautiful flowers through our company.



So for your next event, don't come to ZHG just expecting great food, come with the expectation that we can streamline your party for you, offer you the best deals, and provide you with some beautiful flowers.

The Last Queen of Egypt Arrives at the Milwaukee Public Museum

If you're hoping to bring a special touch to your upcoming event, look no farther than the Milwaukee Public Museum this fall! Just released by the PR department of MPM, the Cleopatra exhibit is coming to Milwaukee.  Featuring many new artifacts recently excavated off the  Bay of Aboukir, the exhibit will make it's third stop here.



ZHG is the exclusive caterer for the Milwaukee Public Museum, and we couldn't be more excited about the new possibilities that this exhibit will open up for us.



The museum has always been a great venue for a special event - from weddings, to Prom, to a company party, the space is large with a unique atmosphere you won't find anywhere else.  But, even better, your guests can have access to this special exhibit, as well as the museum, during your gathering.



It's the perfect opportunity to find a reason to throw a party - whether it's the company holiday event or a special themed gathering (Egyptian perhaps?) - and we're amazingly excited to start dreaming up events for the museum this fall.  You bring the guests, we'll bring the food and the glamour.  The Queen of the Nile is sure to provide a great party!

Themes

We love the events that are different - the ones that go beyond what you would normally expect for a wedding or a gala or a fundraiser.  These are the events that push us out of our comfort zone when coordinating and catering an event.  We love it when the customer asks for something new or imaginative.



Some themes are easy to come up with - Safari or African themes for events held at the Milwaukee County Zoo go hand in hand.  But other themes are harder to come up with.  We love doing Oscars themes, or Harley Davidson themes, or even Railroad themes.  Anything to get our creative juices flowing!



Of course, we offer our own themed menus, if you're looking for something new and exciting.  What brings life to a party better than a good theme with good food to coordinate?



So if you're looking for something to bring new life to an event, look no farther than a themed party.  Come up with your own, or we'll be more than happy to help you find one!

From Weddings to Anniversaries

The greatest thing about weddings is the time to come after.  Your wedding day is just the start of a (hopefully) wonderful future together.  That's what makes anniversaries special - it's a time for a celebration of everything you've done and accomplished together as a couple, a time for remembering and a time for looking towards the future.



ZHG recently did a 50th wedding anniversary party for the couple - a truly momentous occasion.  All the details were planned, and the very intimate party was one to remember.  From the couple's favorite band playing all their favorite hits from the 50s and 60s, to the cake cutting ceremony that they participated in before dinner was served, everything was beautiful, and most definitely romantic.



What was truly amazing about this event however, was the celebration of the love that this couple had shared for the last 50 years, and all the people touched by it.  From the wedding party to the children of the couple, everyone at the party had been touched by the love they shared.

It may not have been the most trendy or contemporary event we were privileged to cater and coordinate, but it was certainly an event full of love.
