Events that are unique and unforgettable

We don’t just prepare the mouthwatering menu.

We plan and execute every detail of your dream event or party.

What if your event…

  • was designed to fit your vision and impress your guests?
  • was well-executed from start to finish, making planning easy and fun?
  • featured a fantastic menu customized to your guests’ tastes and dietary needs, prepared by gourmet chefs?
  • gave you one point of contact for all vendors and payments to create an easy, one-stop-shop?

Why hire a planner?

A successful event runs like clockwork. Each moving piece needs to be in tune for the success of the whole unit. Coordinating between caterers, vendors, performers, services and staff is a full time job in and of itself, and we believe it’s our job. By combining planning and catering, we streamline the process for ourselves and our clients.

 

You can trust our team to create a seamless soiree. We will collaborate with you to select the right professional services, vendors and delicious cuisine to make your event a roaring success. Here’s what’s included with all our event catering packages:
