Dear Customer,

I hope that my catering staff can be of service to you. I have helped make wedding days special for many years now catering wedding cakes, groom’s cakes and Hors d’oeuvres. I also make cash and carry trays for the budget minded folks. I know how hard it is to stay within a small budget and to keep the costs down, I offer a variety of options. The best option I have found is a package of your basic catering services I have listed as Wedding Package. This isn’t the only service I can offer. Please let me know your budget and I will work with you to get the most of your money and fulfill your needs on your special day.

Please look around my website and email or call me with questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

(Bookmarks on this page)

1. Hor d'oeuvres Only

2. Small Event & Business Catering Catering

1. Hor d'oeuvres Only

WANT MORE FOOD? - For those wishing to supplement the occasion with an emphasis toward food, we can provide an array of hor d'oeuvres ranging from gourmet delights to simple delicacies. Please refer to the hor d'oeuvres list for suggestions and prices. I will be happy to suggest menus that will remain within your budget. Listed Below is just a sampling. Don't see what you are looking for? Ask me!

1. BUDGET FOOD: Hors d'oeuvres without the service of a caterer. This is an at cost for food for those on a limited budget. You can order the hors d'oeuvres at food only cost but will not have the service of a caterer for serving and replenishing. If you are just pinched for pennies but want all the good stuff, this may possibly be an option for you. This option does not include the table linens and does not include any clean up. We will come, set everything up and leave it in your hands. We will pick up our items at a later time. You would be responsible for all items belonging to this company until a pickup is arranged. All food would be set out on serving trays and arranged on service tables for you in any setup you choose. This does not include utensils, plates, cups or napkins.

2. Full Service Hor d'oeuvres: Full service catering of Hor d'oeuvres includes cloth linens on service tables, staff to set up, replenish and take down service tables, silver serving trays or chafing dishes and utensils, plates, napkins and cups. This service begins at the moderate price of $2.50 per person plus the at cost of the food listed below on the menus.
