Catering Is Our Cornerstone

Our longstanding success catering special events is the backbone of our company. From theme parties for thousands to intimate affairs for twenty, each event is thoughtfully planned out as if it is the most important, because to the host, it is. We strive for continuous improvement, because in the special events world, you are only as good as your last event.

Cultural Centers

One of our most gratifying accomplishments is presenting culinary art inside a landmark building dedicated to the performing or visual arts.

We cater internal events for our host organizations with the same passion and attention to detail as external events. We need you to be proud of us, patrons!

Most cultural landmarks have restaurants and catered affairs, but our exposure to the largest number of guests at performing arts centers is during intermission. We make that twenty minutes count.

Public Places

What sets us apart from the behemoths in the food service industry is our customized approach to each of our clients’ needs. We don’t have readymade concepts that we force into each location; rather, we research the marketplace and develop concepts that are optimized for that certain place in its certain time.

When catering a meal for a very large number of guests, we divide the event into several smaller, synchronized groups. Each has its own culinary, service, and floor management team to execute the event more stylishly. There’s a world of difference between eating and dining..

We maximize revenue and profits by creatively expanding our point of purchase locations. Carts, kiosks and pop up concession stands help alleviate lines and encourage impulse buying..

Our Clients:

• Fort Worth Zoo
• UT Southwestern Medical Center
• Gastonia Conference Center
