Gatherings
With over 7 years of experience in the private event sector, I can guarantee that your private gathering will be one to remember. From intimate two person multi course tasting menus, to three hundred person BBQ’s, I ensure a custom experience tailored to each client’s specific needs. We are happy to assist with any necessary rentals, hire bar and wait staff, and connect you with any of our network of specialists to create a perfect gathering. For the more casual or combination event, I also offer dinner party drop off services- you can order custom hors d’ouevres, a few sides, or a full meal (see “delivery” page). Email me for details!
