Catering Services

Whole-food, plant-based and plant-forward menus for weddings, celebrations, and private events inspired by your gathering, your guests, and the beauty of New Hampshire’s White Mountains and Lakes Region.

Plant-based Food for Every Occasion

At Roots & Roses, we create customized, whole-food, plant-based and plant-forward menus for weddings and special events. From intimate lakeside dinners and barn receptions to destination wedding weekends at mountain resorts, every menu is developed around the clients, the setting, the season, and the experience they want to create for their guests.

You don’t need to be vegan or vegetarian to choose a plant-based wedding menu. Many clients are looking for food that feels fresh, colorful, abundant, and different from the traditional wedding meal. They want guests to discover new flavors, enjoy familiar favorites prepared in thoughtful ways, and leave feeling satisfied rather than weighed down.

That is where plant-based food can make a celebratory meal especially memorable. One of the most common concerns clients have is whether guests who regularly eat meat will enjoy a plant-based menu. The answer is often found in the reaction once the menu is shared. Even guests who may initially be uncertain become excited about Mediterranean spreads, seasonal grain dishes, handmade appetizers, flavorful curries, taco bars, elevated comfort foods, colorful salads, and decadent plant-based desserts.

After the event, guests frequently comment that they didn’t realize plant-based food could be so flavorful or satisfying. Some ask for recipes!

  • Fabulous vegan food. If you've ever contemplated starting a vegan lifestyle or incorporating some vegan meals into your lifestyle, look no further! The "Fancy your Flannel" dinner in the barn was a great introduction for us and we look forward to more!
