Private Events
I opened my first business, a full-service catering business, in 2000 and varied event styles serving casual picnics for hundreds, intimate in-home dinner parties for 10, weddings of all styles and corporate events. A private event is for you; that is why I have always written menus for each client with intention for each specific event.
I take on several events each year; please inquire with your event date, type of event, number of guests and any specific details.
