Our on-site catering service consists of two specialized menus, which I've attached below for your review. The first, our Light Bites Menu, focuses on stationed appetizers and finger foods that allow your guests to mix and mingle, and enjoy the event. Pricing begins at $20 per guest for two selections from this menu and increases by $8 per guest for each additional selection.

Our second menu, the Gourmet Catering Menu, features a bountiful array of epicurean appetizers, hors d'oeuvres, entrées, and desserts. With meat, vegetarian, dairy-free, and vegan options served buffet-style, passed, and/or seated, it is certain to please all guests in attendance. Pricing for this menu varies per serving, but ranges between $10-$15 for appetizers and hors d'oeuvres, $15-$35 for entrées, and $7-$10 for desserts. These prices include ingredient sourcing, preparation, setup & cleanup, serving and warming platters, as well as all of the disposable utensils, plates, and napkins needed to serve everyone in attendance. All you have to do is select the cuisine that you and your guests would like to enjoy that evening, and we'll take care of everything from there!

Lastly, we do allow you to provide catering from an outside source for a variable fee of $5/guest or a flat fee of $500, whichever is greater. This Outside Catering Fee covers the time spent coordinating with the third-party caterer, as well as maintenance, clean-up, and supplies provided by the venue.
