For my lovely friends' wedding reception, the bride ordered all vegan catered food from Pura Vida Bakery & Bystro by Chef Mayra and had customized drinks from their reception venue, Artiface Urban Lounge.

| Customized cocktail #1 for the reception- This drink goes out to the gin lovers. |

| The newlyweds :) |
 |
| Can you tell that these pastries are vegan? |
 |
| Chef Mayra preparing the cupcakes |
 |
| Kudos to the chef! |
 |
| Spreading the word |
 |
| Yellow everywhere! |
 |
| Vegan empanandas- Tasted exactly like a real empananda (I've had many in my lifetime)... I was addicted! Inside the pastries were fake meats, potatoes, and of course other vegetables. |
 |
| If I heard correctly (hope I did), a lady who worked for Chef Mayra told me that these were Aruban style pastries with cranberry chutney (both were also addictive!). |
 |
| Vegan bean dip and organic chips |
 |
| Vegan lemon and chocolate cupcakes |
Overall all the vegan foods were outstanding and delicious! I'd love to stop by Pura Vida soon because this truly was one of my most unforgettable food experience I've had.
