Event Planning – 8 Mistakes That Could Sabotage Your Thanks Giving Turkey

Image
  1. You put a cold turkey in the oven. Once your turkey has thawed, leave it on the counter for about an hour so that it warms up closer to room temperature before roasting. A thawed turkey is perfectly safe left on the countertop for an hour. 2. You don’t season all parts of the turkey. Make sure to season both outside and inside of the cavity. Doing so will season the meat from the inside out. 3. You’re not using a roasting rack. Using a roasting rack helps keep the bottom of your turkey from steaming and sticking to the bottom of the pan. You can also create your own DIY roasting rack by using a bed celery and carrots, or rolling aluminum foil into logs and placing the turkey on top. 4. You open the oven door too much. Rather than basting, which requires you to open your oven door every half hour, try brining or dry rubbing your turkey. If it gives you peace of mind to get a look at your turkey while it’s cooking, use the oven light instead of...

The Food Was Delicious — Perfect Really!

Image
  Ranch catered our wedding at Marina Village on 3/12/15. It was beautiful and everything went exactly as I hoped! The  food  was delicious — perfect really! The short ribs were to die for!  Rhonda was our contact there, she was so sweet and helpful and amazing! She helped us plan every detail and really made my dream come true. We were on a tight budget, Rhonda was open to negotiating the price and working with us on that. She also made sure we had the pretty chairs (makes a difference not having to use a separate rental company) and every detail the way we wanted. Even down to the way the napkins were folded! Staffs were very helpful too, setting up early in the day so we could put down our DIY centerpieces. Our event captain, he was very nice and gracious. It all came off without a hitch and Ranch was a big part of the reason why! I highly recommend them and working with Rhonda specifically. – Felicia P

Our Wedding Day Was Beyond Perfect!

  It is with GREAT pleasure that I recommend Ranch Events and give the highest praise to Bernardo, our wonderful event manager. We rented the Seaside Room in Marina Village for our  wedding  last week and hired Ranch Events for all of our catering needs, room set-up and food service. It was great to have all of those items taken care of by one vendor. It made our wedding planning a ton easier but what really made it a breeze was working with Bernardo! He was so accommodating and really went out of his way to make sure we had the most amazing day! Prior to our wedding, Bernardo met with us several times to do food tastings, table settings and walk-thrus at the venue. He and his staff were very generous and offered us wonderful hospitality. Bernardo worked diligently with us to discuss floor plans and decoration options. He was very responsive to my emails and phone calls and always had a positive answer or provided a comparable solution. There didn’t seem to be anything th...
