Industry norm is to charge extra for items – like service, staff and rentals – but we include those items in our all-inclusive price. Our pricing is published to see – no hidden costs. We do not require gratuity to be included – we believe that should be given based on excellent service.
We are not just caterers, we are also full event planners. Anything you could possibly need for your event, we can source for you – which is included in our services. We have an all-inclusive Diamond Wedding package – which adds our great catering service with other vetted vendors – like DJ, florist, photographer, cake, invitations, transportation and more!
We offer group style tastings with over 100 in attendance. Each session allowing you to experience how it would be at an event. If you attend 4 of our tastings in a row – it will allow you to taste every item from our standard buffet menu. Many of our vendor partners we work with are also there – including DJ, florist, wedding cake, videographer, photographer and live music.
We partner with O-Town Compost to reprocess our food waste and use it to create fresh soil to be repurposed back into our community. We recycle at our venue – Celebration Gardens – and offer the option for other venues upon request. We also offer the option to use 100% compostable disposables at your event. We only use all-natural and/or organic ingredients with our food allowing for easy customizations of menu items.
The Orlando Business Journal ranked us as the “34th Most Philanthropic Company in Orlando” – which is quite a feat for a small business. We have donated over $1M to local charities and non-profits as well. Any of our food that is not composted, we donate to our partners at Second Harvest Food Bank.
If you need catering or event services, we will provide for you regardless of views, traditions and lifestyle. We are an LGBT certified business by the NGLCC (National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce).
