What's Included
Office Holiday Party Catering
Company holiday parties are our specialty in November and December. We cater in-office lunches, evening parties at venues, and client appreciation events — with buffets, stations, passed appetizers, and dessert displays. Corporate invoicing is available. Popular dates (the first three Fridays in December) book out first, so reserve early.
Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinner Catering
Skip the all-day cooking. We prepare complete holiday dinners — roasted proteins, classic sides, breads, and desserts — delivered ready to serve for family gatherings large and small. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day availability is limited, so order early.
Holiday Parties, Open Houses and New Year's Eve
From neighborhood open houses to church holiday events and New Year's Eve parties, we offer appetizer receptions, grazing tables, and full dinners. Add a dessert table or hot cocoa and coffee service to round it out.
