Our Style

Rather than defining our services by what we do, we define them by what you, the client, wants. From the most casual, low key affairs, to elaborate gala events, we have the experience, expertise and imagination to help you create exactly what you’d like.

  • Plated dinners

  • Family-style dinners

  • Desserts

  • Barbecues

  • Pig roasts

We can provide bar service to include:

  • Craft beer

  • Full customizable wine selection

  • Freshly squeezed juices and lemonade

  • Full bars – either standard, call, or premium liquors

  • Specialty drinks – your ideas, or ours

A caterer’s job doesn’t end with food and beverage.

Over time we have built a service team that is both professional and personal, and the depth of our roster means we have the ability to provide exceptional service, regardless of the size of the event. In addition to preparing your meal, serving it, and cleaning up, we offer a broad range of additional services, usually considered the domain of an event planner, free of charge.

These include, but are not limited to:

  • Assistance in obtaining:

    • Photographer

    • Florist

    • Entertainment

    • Transportation

    • Lodging

    • Arranging all equipment rentals

  • Coordination of all parties involved in servicing event

  • Making your job as host as easy and stress-free as possible

Equally important to any event, regardless of size, is the need to be sensitive to your budget. Inexpensive should not translate to cheap, and value should be reflected in any price. We have run a broad spectrum in the execution of our services, and regardless of the final price, have always been lauded for the inherent value we have provided.

We encourage you to look at our background. Margaret and Mark each have over forty years in the food service business. We bring a long history of hospitality and food service experiences at some of the nation’s finest hotels to our 27 years of operating our own catering service. We take enormous pride in the staff we have assembled, and insist that service is their first priority. Whether we customize an event with you, or create one for you, we will work with you every step of the way to ensure that it is magic.
