Yes. Our team supports executive breakfasts, office lunches, conferences, company receptions, birthdays, showers, memorials, holiday parties, weddings, and formal dinners. Service can range from prepared trays delivered ready to serve to a fully staffed event with rentals, florals, beverage service, and cleanup of the catering areas.
Most drop-off orders require at least 72 hours of notice. Full-service events may be accepted with a minimum of 10 days, but reserving two to four weeks ahead gives you better access to preferred delivery times, staff, rentals, and floral design. Weekends and the months of June, November, and December tend to book first.

Dietary designations appear on applicable selections and should be confirmed on the final order. For allergies, provide the specific allergen and number of affected guests so we can review suitable options and preparation limitations.
Choose drop-off catering when you want hot or chilled platters delivered ready to serve and are comfortable managing the meal and cleanup. Choose a staffed package when you want professionals to set up, present and replenish the food, assist guests, and break down the contracted catering areas. Full-service packages may also incorporate serveware, dinnerware, linens, rentals, florals, and beverage support.
