Perfection Catering
For Tlaquepaque Weddings
Nothing is more important for a successful wedding reception, party or event than really good food. So much goes into providing great cuisine that people may not realize. First, there must be exceptionally talented chefs to prepare delicacies that tempt the palette. Depending on the reception’s location, the food must get there. Then, there is the wait staff who must efficiently and elegantly get the food to the guests. Catering is a very challenging business that requires passion, dedication and experience.
Chef Dan and Chef Paul at Perfection Catering meet all the requirements. Their popularity among brides, event planners, wedding planners and locals are proof of it. Off-site receptions are challenging. The only sure way to insure that everything is moist and succulent, cooked to perfection, hot and beautifully presented is to prepare the food on site. Chef Dan says there is no way around it. Chef sets up his own on-site kitchen complete with grills, ovens, refrigeration and everything needed to serve a meal to please each and every guest.
Everyone loves to see what goes on behind the scenes. No problem here. Guests enjoy seeing action at events and Perfection Catering provides lots of it. Action stations for pastas, omelets and grilled hors d’ oeuvres are a treat for party goers. Some clients may want buffet style service. Perfection sets up gorgeous buffets that are colorful, decorative and abundant with incredible taste treats.
The fun tastings that Chefs Dan and Paul arrange at Perfection Catering are meals in themselves. Chef never lets clients go away hungry and makes sure they get much more than one little bit size sample.

Sedona Performance Guitarist
Brian David
Meet Brian David. Brian is one of the most respected and gifted musicians in Sedona. For over twenty years his guitar has inspired and entertained everyone who experiences his music. His love of classical guitar has led him to perform for countless weddings in Sedona, as well as private parties, art galleries and special events. Brian’s romantic songs evoke a very special ambiance to the hundreds of wedding ceremonies that occur in Sedona.
The tone of the classical guitar creates a sacred space by bringing the gift of music that draws people into the moment in a way that only live music can do.
Brian earned a bachelor’s degree in Classical Guitar Performance from Northern Arizona University in 2003. Since then, he has continuously maintained and expanded his classical repertoire. Brian’s Forte is Spanish classical.
His range of musical styles include classical, jazz, contemporary and Spanish, among others. Drawing from his traditional wedding repertoire, which includes Pachelbel’s Canon in D, Trumpet Voluntary, Bach’s Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring, and of course, the Wedding March, Brian brings so much to the table. He has learned specific songs that encompass a wide variety of music. Brian has been asked to learn everything from Elvis to the Beatles to Ben Harper and always enjoys pleasing the couple with “their song”.
Brian is a very busy and popular musician and books very quickly. He performs weekly at several resorts and restaurants in Sedona and Flagstaff. His beautiful new CD, Sungazer, is available for listening or purchase on the Brian David website and at the Sedona Wedding Studio. The S.W.S. is honored to have Brian on our team.
