Working with Trish was ideal for a true coastal experience for our group of 14 sommeliers! Her local expertise was perfect to find the ideal beach to set up with freshly shucked oysters and mussels cooked on a beach fire. She worked within our budget, was very welcoming and professional and went above and beyond for us. Can't wait to book with Trish again!
