START PLANNING NOW FOR AN EFFORTLESS EVENT.
Bay Area Holiday Party Catering
While holiday parties may not be at the top of everyone’s mind in July, we find it’s a great time to start planning for those that want a well curated event. Successful events - whether corporate events or private events - often require a great deal of work to pull off. By starting preparations now, our guests are able to avoid all of the challenges and stress that can come with last minute planning. This gives us more time to work together and support our guests - sharing our expertise and advice. Inquiring about catering for your corporate event early on is always a good idea to ensure availability and make the most of our services.
Corporate Holiday Event Catering Benefits
By partnering with an experienced and professional corporate event caterer, the event process will be more enjoyable and successful for all, with the end result being felt by the guests. The best way to have your intended effect is by getting the right support your event requires. Our event catering team provides the following support:
Light event planning and/or partnering with your event planner.
Third party rentals: we’ve been in this industry for nearly a decade, and can help with acquiring all the necessary services and equipment.
Custom menu creation: in addition to our a la carte menus, we also create fully customized menus specially tailored to your event, venue, season, and tastes. Take a look at our 2023 Holiday Party Sample Menu and our Fall 2023 À la Carte Event Platters Menu.
Organization, cleanliness and food safety: having professionals on site for your event really helps with this.
Serving staff: a critical aspect of any event.
Beverage service: after dinner coffee and tea, or a bubble tea station.
Bar service: at this time we don’t serve alcohol, but have friends that do!
Event set up and tear down: often goes overlooked, but is critical to event success.
Time saving: one of the greatest benefits of working with a professional event caterer is all of the time you get back in your day to focus on other projects.
