Our experience in planning successful catered events has prompted us to share some suggestions when considering the details of you party. Whether you are hosting an elegant cocktail reception, wedding, casual party, or family celebration we are more than happy to accommodate you.

Menu Design
Allow our professional staff to help design a menu based on you specific food tastes and the location of your event. We will be happy to entertain any menu ideas not found in our menu. Our goal is to provide you with exactly what you want.

Hors D'ouvres
It has been our experience that variety is the essence to a successful cocktail reception. We suggest offering a wide spectrum of tastes and textures to accommodate everyone's tastes. For a cocktail hour before a meal, consider six different hor d'ouvres. For cocktail receptions with stationary offerings, consider ten different options. Allow our experienced staff the opportunity to help with some of the suggestions or seasonal specials.

Plated vs. Buffet/Station
Plated serviced is a more elegant and formal style of service. Staff costs are significantly higher but the presentations are artistically assembled by professional chefs. Spare requirements for kitchen or prep kitchen are also greater. An advantage of a buffet/station service is a more casual interactive style service where the guest makes the decision as to exactly what they would like to eat. The decision between buffet and plated service is up to you.
