Meetings that are exciting and effective

We don’t just bring the boxed lunches and buffets, we organize and manage the logistics of your meeting or corporate conference so you can focus on the goals of the gathering.

What if your meeting…

  • was designed to support the attendees’ experience and your goals
  • was well-executed from start to finish, allowing you to focus on the presentation, not the planning
  • featured a fantastic menu customized to your attendees’ tastes and dietary needs, prepared by gourmet chefs
  • gave you one point of contact for all vendors and payments, an easy, one-stop-shop

We are a huge fan of Dream Events and Catering for our events! The staff is truly a Dream team to work with! They have a great reputation for seeing the vision and making it happen! I have had the pleasure of working with them for the past 5 years on various events and I never have to worry about the presentation, quality, or professionalism of their catering services. There has never been a more reliable and dedicated staff, who truly believe in what they do!

I recommended Dream Events & Catering to one of our sales reps for an in-office luncheon. She came back to me raving at how well they did and how good the food was. This just proves that whether the event is 500 people or 30 people, Dream can handle your party. They do the same quality for both and treat you as if your event is the only one that matters.

The best experience ever with a catering company, so personal, yet also very professional. Totally stress free which allowed everyone to just enjoy the moments. Very tasty food, beautiful flowers and easily integrated what the venue and the sound guy had to offer into an amazing night. So thankful for their effort!

This company catered a conference for three days this week at my work.
Definitely the best three lunches I’ve had in a very long time. I highly recommend them!
