Meals Served Buffet Style
Our buffet style meal service offers flexible serving options including cook trailer service or buffet lines with chafers for your event. Meals are available as self-served or staffed service, with basic paper plates, plasticware, and napkins included. Clients may upgrade to decorative plastic plates, bamboo plates with utensils, or secured rental items for a more elegant presentation.
Rental Items
We secure all required rental items for your event as needed, with applicable rental fees passed directly to you. If rental items are used, an additional per-guest cleanup fee applies to cover washing and repacking costs. This service eliminates the need for clients to coordinate with third-party rental vendors independently.
Trash Removal
We supply all necessary trash bags and receptacles for your event as part of our standard catering packages. This service ensures your event space remains clean and tidy throughout the function without extra client effort. There are no additional charges for standard trash removal included in our core packages.
Cleanup
We offer post-event cleanup services for events that use secured rental dinnerware and supplies. Our team removes all dinnerware from tables, rinses rental items, and repacks them for vendor pickup for a flat $3.75 per guest fee. This service ensures rental items are properly handled and ready for return without requiring client labor.
