Caterers


Our seasoned event planners will help you to visualize and execute every detail of your event - venue selection, menu design, event rentals and tenting, décor and floral, entertainment and service staff. From an intimate dinner to a lavish gala, our team of dedicated professionals will focus on ensuring that every guest at your event experiences an enjoyable and effortless occasion. Our award winning culinary team constantly pushes the creative envelope in food presentation, service, decor and design.

Whether it be classic diner fare and traditional breakfasts, or cutting-edge dishes, our mandate is to use the freshest ingredients possible and create talked-about delectable dishes.

Our menus are labors of love and the joy of working with food innovatively. Our intent is to continue the quality most of us remember as homemade, in a contemporary manner.

Catered Art’s philosophy and advocacy for social responsibility is demonstrated in our environmental initiatives and our adaptation of sustainable practices.

Catered Art is committed to green initiatives and continuously seeks new avenues to ‘green’ our product and workplace for a greener future. Our latest initiative is to operate zero-waste events, not only are we recycling and composting everything at our headquarters, we are supplying compost and recycle bins on off-site events which complement our use of 100% compostable and biodegradable disposable event-wares.

Catered Art thrives on using seasonal local, wild and free run products as our first choice in commitment to support local suppliers and adhering to our promise of only serving the highest quality of menu ingredients and supplies. For the health of our staff and environment we use biodegradable and organic cleaning products.
