A Taste Of 417

The Belvedere Ballroom will be the host for our summer 2019 "A Taste of 417" expo.



Southwest Missouri's premier wedding and event venue will be the beautiful backdrop for the expo this year. Mark your calendars for July 14th, 2019. www.belvedereballroom.com RSVP on their website or www.atasteof417.com. RSVP if you'll be able to attend and also let us know how many guests you'll be bringing. This helps our professionals to know how much food to bring. Although they are mostly interested in the bride and groom and what their vision for the big day will be, they also consider input from other key members of the wedding planning group. Your RSVP will automatically enter you into drawings for door prizes and give-aways.


Brides planning their event will be able to sample and taste selections brought in by pastry chefs and professional caterers.

There are a lot of caterers to choose from but, what most brides don't have is ..time. The catering expo is a one stop shop for brides looking for wedding catering and pastry chefs. Brides can visit and sample some of the areas popular wedding fare, get to know the areas favorite chefs and leave knowing she's in great hands!

According to a recent survey, when brides were asked about their wedding, most brides regretted not having their event professionally catered. There's a difference when a friend or family helps with the food and when a professional comes in and provides a service. Guests overall are more satisfied with the experience of a wedding when they are served and waited on and tend to stay longer for the entirety of the event.

If you're planning a wedding in the 417 area, check out the 417 catering expo on July 14th 2019 from 1-4. Tickets are free and you'll be elegible for free gifts if you RSVP. This year the expo will be held at the beautiful Belvedere Ballroom in Carthage, MO. If you're looking for a wedding venue, come and have a look around. You'll have a great time!
