Custom Menus for Weddings and Hall Events
Haus Kartheiser Wirtshaus is being built for more than regular dinner service. With Chef Mason Hessing leading the kitchen, the Wirtshaus can support custom plated dinners, buffets, and event menus for weddings, hall rentals, private dinners, and special gatherings.
Each event starts with the occasion: guest count, service style, timing, budget direction, and the kind of meal that fits the room. From German comfort classics to chef-led custom menus, the goal is to make the food feel intentional, warm, and memorable.
Built Around the Occasion
Every event menu can be shaped around the room, the guest count, the pace of service, and the style of meal that fits the night.
Plated Dinners
Chef-led plated meals for weddings, private dinners, and formal gatherings where the food should feel composed and intentional.
Buffet Service
Warm, practical buffet menus for larger guest counts, hall rentals, family-style gatherings, and flexible service timelines.
Wedding Receptions
Custom menu support for a warm, memorable hall reception with plated service, buffet service, or a hybrid event format.
Private Dinners
Smaller chef-led meals built around the group, the occasion, and the level of service needed for the night.

Plated dinners can bring a more formal feel to weddings, private dinners, and special gatherings while still keeping the food warm and approachable.
