Cherished Events And Catering

09/24/2026

A couple of days ago, I told y’all we had the honor of preparing a farewell meal for a sweet family.

Food has always been more than just food to me. Sometimes it’s part of the celebration, and sometimes it’s simply one small way to show someone they’re cared for during a hard season.

For their gathering, we prepared BBQ brisket sliders, cucumber salad cups, pimento cheese bites, brie and fig jam phyllo cups, brisket tamale bites, vegetarian cheese and green onion quiche, mixed berry tarts, and cherry danishes.

It was a beautiful spread, but more importantly, it was made for a family gathering together to say goodbye to someone they loved.

These are the moments that remind me why I still love what I do after all these years.

We get to be a part of so many beautiful moments. Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, new babies and celebrations.

But something I don't talk about nearly enough is the other side of it.

Over the years, some of our clients have become so much more than clients.

We've celebrated some of the best days of their lives with them, but we've also been there during some of the hardest.

When someone we've served loses someone they love, goes through something unimaginable, or simply finds themselves in a season where life is really hard, I don't stop caring about them because their event is over.

Sometimes being there looks like a meal.

Sometimes it's checking in.

Sometimes it's showing up.

And sometimes it's simply letting someone know they're not walking through a hard time alone.

I started this business because I love feeding people. What I didn't realize when I started was just how deeply I would come to care about the people sitting at those tables.

Food is how I love people.

The celebrations will always be special, but being trusted enough to be there during the hard days too is something I will never take for granted.

This Saturday, our community is coming together to support Jose Rios and his family. ❤️

Jose is Alexxus's dad, and Alexxus is part of our crew and very much part of our family. When someone we love is going through a difficult time, you show up however you can.

There will be a bake sale and raffle Saturday, September 12th, beginning at 9:00 AM at The Yantis Cafe, with proceeds going to help Jose and his family.

We will be contributing gluten free cookies to the bake sale and a Date Night for Two to the raffle. The winner will receive a fully prepared meal with their choice of two appetizers, two entrées, and two desserts, delivered on a date that works for everyone.

But this isn't about what any one person or business is giving. It's about all of us coming together to help a family in our community.

If you can come out, buy some goodies, purchase a raffle ticket, share the event, say a prayer, or simply help spread the word, it all matters.

Let's show Jose and his family just how many people are standing beside them.

Alone we may fall, but together we stand.

Please come out Saturday September 12 th and help us support shorty!! Shorty and his family need all the support they can get!
We are excited to see everyone Saturday at the cafe!! Bring your sweet tooth and your $$. There will be the lots of homemade goodies there.

One question I get asked A LOT:

“Do you provide vendor meals, and do you charge for them?”

Yes, we absolutely feed your vendors. And no, we don't charge you for their meals. 🤍

And when I say we feed them, I mean they eat the SAME meal your guests are eating. We don't do a separate boxed vendor meal or give them something different. If we're serving your guests Marry Me Chicken, fajitas, BBQ, or whatever amazing meal you picked for your day, that's what your vendors are eating too.

Your planner, photographer, DJ, coordinator, and all the other vendors working behind the scenes are putting in some LONG days to make sure your wedding goes exactly the way you dreamed it would.

They're working right alongside us, and we're going to make sure they're fed too. 🫶

I know how quickly a wedding budget adds up, and when you suddenly realize you need another 10+ meals for your vendor team, that's another expense you weren't necessarily planning for.

That's one expense you don't have to worry about with us.

Taking care of people is just what we do. If there's food in our kitchen, we're going to feed you. 🤍

Planning a wedding, corporate event, family celebration, or any event that needs some really good food? Or know someone who is?

Send them our way! We'd love the opportunity to feed them and welcome them into the Cherished Events family. You're never just another event on our calendar. We truly care about the people we serve, and we'll treat you and your guests like family from the first conversation to the last plate served.

Every event deserves to be a Cherished Event. 🤍
