On Wednesday a whole bunch of us Central Coast Wedding Professionals drove up to the home and tasting room of Gary & Cathy from Phil's Catering for a "showcase"- an opportunity for a handfull of members to show-off their business and discuss their philosophy on their work. This month's showcase featured the food of Phil's Catering, the flowers of D&D Floral Design, the MC talents of Gy Ryder, the comfy convenience of Wine Country Charters, and the photography talents of Mark Nakamura...shown below!
