CRUISING INTO FOREVER
While the end of your wedding day might be a bittersweet feeling, it's also incredibly exciting to witness a sea of guests sending you off as you embark on the rest of your lives together. To make the moment even more memorable, ride off into the night in Ruby or Silver Fox! The Vintage Garage cars hold so many sentimental memories within the family operation. Their hope is to continue allowing their cars to be the center of memories, just as they were for generations before. Vintage Garage is the place to hire a show-stopping exit that will have your attendees talking for years to come.

TASTE OF Love
The taste, smell, and texture of food can be extraordinarily evocative, bringing back memories not just of eating the food, but also of the place and setting. Remember the memory of your first date with your beloved fiance? Feeling giddy, in love, and a little nervous. Food is an effective trigger of profound memories of feelings and emotions. The catering professionals at TCP catering strive to serve a spread that is sure to have special moments replaying with every bite. Take a step away from traditional wedding dinners, and work with a caterer to create a menu that brings back the first sight of love between you and your special someone.
