The wedding of the century, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's nuptials, was a spectacle of opulence and extravagance, with every detail meticulously planned to create an unforgettable experience. But what truly stole the show was the culinary journey the couple offered their guests. From exclusive members' clubs to viral pizza spots, the food served at the wedding was a testament to the couple's refined taste and love for the finer things in life. Here's a deep dive into the delectable hotspots that made the wedding menu truly memorable.
The Intimate Rehearsal Dinner at Sartiano's
Before the main event, an intimate rehearsal dinner set the tone for the culinary extravaganza to come. Catered by The Mercer Hotel's Italian restaurant, Sartiano's, the dinner menu was a feast for the senses. With a reported array of fine La Dolce Vita-style eats, including crispy focaccia with smooth whipped ricotta and red sauce-doused meatballs, and heaps of decadent stuffed paccheri and spicy spaghetti arrabiata, the dinner was a true celebration of Italian cuisine. The A-list couple's love for good food was evident, as they dined at the hotspot over the years, accompanied by the likes of Paul McCartney and Martha Stewart. The restaurant's 2023 opening was hailed as 'on its way to glory' by The Post, and it certainly lived up to the hype at the rehearsal dinner.
Zero Bond: The Bougie Joint
Another one of Swift's go-to places in NYC, Zero Bond, brought its bougie charm to the wedding. Owned by the aforementioned Sartiano, the ultra-exclusive members club opened in 2020 on Bond Street. The club's in-house restaurant, The Member's Grill, is known for its high-end menu, featuring luscious dishes like wagyu striploin and sea scallops with smoked bacon, cranberry beans, saffron, and verjus. While Swift is a regular, the club's appearance at the wedding was a surprise, as it brought in food for the special occasion, according to TMZ.
Mama's Too!: The Viral Pizza Spot
One of the Big Apple's most celebrated pizza spots, Mama's Too!, delivered thousands of dollars' worth of pies to Madison Square Garden. The owner, Frank Tuttolomondo, admitted to The Post that they signed an NDA and couldn't comment much, but they did deliver a lot of pizza. The order amounted to over 100 pies, with a final bill costing the couple around $3,000. Mama's Too! specializes in square pies with unique flavors like creamy cacio e pepe and savory pear and gorgonzola. The shop was opened by Tuttolomondo's grandmother in 1959, and he opened Mama's Too! near Columbia University in 2017. The pizza shop's delectable slices were a hit with the A-list attendees, and it's no surprise that they were chosen for the wedding, given their global recognition as the Best Pizza in the World in a Time Out ranking last year.
Northside Bakery: The Carb Story
It's a carb story. Northside Bakery, with locations in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and Glendale, Queens, brought its array of bread, from sourdoughs and ciabattas to baguettes and rolls, to the wedding. The bakery, founded in 1992, also boasts a bevy of Polish pastries and eats, including pierogi and poppy-seed rolls. Desserts at the wedding supposedly included Pop-Tarts, as well as a grand spread of 30 wedding cakes, according to People.
Schweid & Sons: The Juicy Burger
What's a summer celebration without a juicy burger? Schweid & Sons, a New Jersey-based company founded in 1978, offered high-quality ground beef for the wedding's sizzling patties. The company uses a four-generation recipe and exclusively utilizes fresh beef for its patties. While the brand's appearance at the wedding was a surprise, it was part of a bulk order, and the CEO, Brad Schweid, was thrilled to be included in the article.
Danny & Coop's Cheesesteaks: The Cheesy Delight
In addition to burgers, massive and gooey Philadelphia Cheesesteaks were also doled out to hungry guests. The wedding ordered a bevy of stomach-busters from Danny & Coops, the viral East Village shop co-founded by wedding guest Bradley Cooper. Established in 2024, the shop is known for its cheesy delights, and it's no surprise that it was chosen for the wedding, given its recent recognition as one of the 'best cheesesteaks in NYC'.
Amick Farms: The Chicken Delight
Eagle-eyed observers also noticed a bevy of boxes courtesy of Amick Farms, a chicken company from Batesburg, South Carolina. Founded in 1941, the company is one of the largest meat processors in America. The over-thousand guests chomped down on piles of the eatery's chicken wings and chicken thighs. While the company was unaware that their wings would be served at the wedding, they were pleased to learn that their products were part of such a high-profile celebration.
In my opinion, the wedding menu was a true reflection of the couple's refined taste and love for the finer things in life. From exclusive members' clubs to viral pizza spots, the food served was a testament to the couple's refined taste and their ability to create an unforgettable experience for their guests. The wedding of the century certainly lived up to its name, and the culinary journey was a highlight of the spectacular event.
