Five ways to make it magical

Seated, coursed service with a polished team at every table. For weddings, galas and dinners where the pace of the evening matters.
2 / Buffets
Abundant, beautifully styled tables that guests come back to. Our most flexible format, from 20 guests to 2,000.
3 / Food stations
Chef-attended stations that double as entertainment: ramen bars, carving stations, raw bars, taco and pasta stations.
4 / Passed hors d’oeuvres
Butlered bites that keep the room mingling. The cocktail-hour classic, on its own or before dinner.
5 / Drop-off & delivery
Set up and ready when you are: boxed lunches, platters and hot buffets delivered to your office, venue or home.
Planning catering in Charlotte? Questions we hear most
Is there a guest minimum?
No. We cater micro weddings and intimate dinners as happily as galas for thousands. A few menu items and preparations carry their own minimums, and your event stylist will point those out.
What areas do you serve?
All of Charlotte and the surrounding region, including Lake Norman, Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews, Fort Mill and Rock Hill, at your home, your office or any venue that welcomes outside caterers.
How far ahead should I book?
Most couples book nine to twelve months out and most corporate events a few weeks out. If your date is open we can assist a wedding with as little as 30 days' notice. An event more than 90 days away is confirmed with a $500 deposit.
How much does catering cost?
Every menu is custom, so pricing follows your guest count and style of service. As a guide, full-service wedding catering starts around $67 per guest, including butlered appetizers, a two-entrée buffet, beverages and staff. Boxed lunches and drop-off catering are priced per person on our menus.
Can you handle dietary needs?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan menus (with recipes from Fern, our vegan restaurant), gluten-free options and kosher-style meals are part of every planning conversation, and a certified kosher meal can be arranged with advance notice through our certified kosher partner.
Do you provide staff, bar service and rentals?
We do. Servers, chefs, licensed bartenders, china, glassware, linens and tenting are all arranged by your event stylist, so you have one point of contact from the first call to clean-up.
