About Our Catering & Bar Service
Food is the single largest line in most event budgets and the thing guests discuss on the drive home. We manage the whole of it: menu design, tastings, the catering contract, bar programme and licensing, service staff, rentals, and the kitchen logistics that decide whether 200 plates land hot at the same moment.
We work with a vetted network of caterers across all ten states rather than running a single kitchen, which means we can match the cuisine and the price point to your event instead of selling you ours. For cultural menus we work with specialist kitchens — the difference between a caterer who can do a biryani and one who makes it every day is immediately obvious.
What’s Included
- Menu design matched to the season, the venue kitchen and your budget
- Private tastings with up to four guests, with revisions after feedback
- Caterer sourcing, contract negotiation and final guarantee management
- Dietary, allergen, religious and cultural menu management
- Bar programme design, licensing, insurance and bartender staffing
- Signature cocktail development and beverage-volume forecasting
- Service staff ratios, china, glassware, linen and rental coordination
- Kitchen load-in, service timing and full post-event breakdown
How It Works
We take the venue kitchen specification first, because it dictates what is actually possible — a venue with no kitchen means a different caterer and a different menu. Then style of service, then two or three caterer options with costed menus. Tasting at about four months. Final guarantee numbers at two weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Catering is priced per guest and varies a great deal by service style — plated dinner costs more than a buffet, and heavy hors d’oeuvres less again. Beverage service is quoted separately. We will get you real per-guest numbers from two or three caterers for your date and venue before you commit to a style.
Every RSVP captures dietary needs, which flow into a kitchen matrix the chef works from, and each affected guest gets a discreetly marked place card so service staff know without announcing it. Severe allergies get a named plate and a direct handoff to the guest.
At many venues, yes, and it can save 30 to 40 percent. It requires the right licence, certified bartenders and host-liquor liability insurance — all of which we arrange. We will also forecast volume so you are not left with eleven cases of prosecco.
Yes — halal, vegetarian, South Asian, Nigerian, Persian and Mexican among others, through specialist kitchens rather than a generalist caterer attempting them. Where a community has its own certification or supervision requirement, we arrange it and put the paperwork in writing.
Where local health regulations allow, we arrange donation to a food-recovery partner. Our Texas and Colorado caterers have standing arrangements, and we will organise it elsewhere on request.
Why Choose Us for Catering & Bar?
We negotiate catering contracts every week and we know where the margin hides — service charge versus gratuity, cake-cutting fees, corkage, vendor meals, overtime rates. Clients who come to us with a quote in hand save an average of 11 percent on catering alone, which usually exceeds our entire fee.
