We hope you’re hungry because today we are featuring one of the Cayman Islands finest professional catering companies and their exclusive venue. Mise En Place (pronounced meez on plahs) was created in 2002 by Chef Sean Collins. Taking your meal and event to a new level, Mise En Place creates not just food, but exquisite dining experiences to stimulate your senses.

In addition to culinary delights, Mise En Place now offers an exclusive venue, Sunset Bay. When I tell you this venue is beautiful, that doesn’t even come close to describing how amazing it actually is! Water, beach, and garden all in one…what more could you want??

So, I had a few questions for the team at Mise En Place and I thought I’d share them (and the answers) with you…

Crystal Blue: Describe your process with a couple. How do you create these dining experiences?

Mise En Place: We meet with the couple (either in person or by phone) and discuss not only the kind of food they like but the style of their wedding, their vision and their overall personalities. From there we create a menu which includes the food items as well creative service and display ideas for them to review. After they review it, we can tweak it however they would like to suit their needs and their vision. It’s important to us that the food fit in with the overall flow of the event.

Crystal Blue: What do you mean when you say service and display ideas?

Mise En Place: There are various ways to serve a meal–buffet style, station style or a plated meal, to name a few. We need to figure out, with the couple, the best style of service for their wedding. Also, we like to get creative and display our food in different ways–not just on plates. It allows us to reflect the couples personality and vision to make the entire dining experience personal.

Crystal Blue: Tell us more about Sunset Bay! What a gorgeous property!!

Mise En Place: Sunset Bay is a private residence in the Prospect area of Grand Cayman. We have been fortunate enough to have been granted permission to use Sunset Bay as a venue for weddings and other special events. The property overlooks the water, has a beautiful garden as well as a beach and, as the name implies, has gorgeous sunsets!
