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, an easy, one-stop-shop

Working with Dream has always been a great experience for our staff and most importantly our clients. From their planners to their servers, their staff is so pleasant to work with from start to finish. I am always impressed with their impeccable planning skills and attention to detail. Whether it’s a corporate event, wedding reception, or even a small dinner we are always 100% confident that Dream Events & Catering will prepare an amazing menu that tastes as good as it looks.

The food was incredible, far exceeded expectations of a diverse group of people…Not only that, but they made the organization of a remote event super simple, and their staff on the day of the event was extremely professional. Could not be happier with the Kitti and the whole team!

By combining planning and catering, we streamline the process for ourselves and our clients.
