EVENT CATERING OPTIONS

BUFFET STYLE: Our buffet service features beautifully arranged platters or warm chafing dishes, allowing guests to serve themselves and choose from a variety of options. This setup creates a relaxed, flexible dining experience, perfect for mingling and enjoying a wide range of flavors.

FAMILY STYLE: Dishes are served on large platters at each table, allowing guests to pass them around and serve themselves. This style encourages sharing and creates a warm, communal dining experience.

INDIVIDUAL PLATED SERVICE: Guests pre-select their meal from a curated menu ahead of the event, typically when they RSVP. The event host chooses the available options, ensuring a personalized and elegant dining experience for each guest.
