Celebrations and small events at home.
Birthdays, anniversaries, reunions and showers, cooked and served in your home so you can be a guest at your own party.
Host it. Don’t work it.
The best parties happen at home, but someone usually ends up stuck in the kitchen. Not this time. I plan the menu with you, do the shopping, cook on site and serve, then leave the kitchen clean.
Menus range from seated multi-course dinners to family-style spreads for the table, a coastal Italian supper, a Latin and Caribbean evening, or passed bites and a charcuterie board while guests arrive.
Every reason to celebrate.
Recent and typical celebrations:

“We hired Chef Mark to cater our gender reveal party for 25 guests, and he exceeded every expectation. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. I can’t wait to call him for our next event—highly recommend!”Kari Winginton · Catered celebration · 25 guests

Yes, I can bring a bartender to serve the drinks you provide. I don’t supply liquor or bar alcohol.
