Well, here we are. One year + three months later, and Black Fig & Co. was just voted Best Caterer of 2026. I mean… WHAT?!!
I know I say this all the time, but when you own a small business, you really do have to stop long enough to celebrate all the wins. This is definitely one I want to sit in for a minute. Fifteen months ago, Black Fig was brand new. It was an idea I believed in so deeply. To be here now, typing the words Best Caterer of 2026, is honestly mind-boggling.
I am so incredibly proud of my business. Proud of how much it has grown, proud of the standard I’ve worked really hard to maintain, & proud of every board, every table, every tiny detail, every early morning, late night, lesson learned + every bit of heart that has gone into building it. But I think what makes this one hit a little differently is knowing that all of that has been seen, supported + celebrated by the people around me.
To every person who has ordered from Black Fig, trusted me with your gathering, told a friend, shared a post, left a review, recommended me in a neighborhood group, booked me again, or simply cheered me on from the sidelines, THANK YOU! Truly. There is no Black Fig without the people who continue to invite me into their birthdays, showers, weddings, closings, holidays, celebrations + all of those ordinary days that simply deserve something beautiful on the table.
This past year has taught me so much about growth, about trusting myself, & about getting really clear on what matters most. My family will always come first, Mommy will always be my favorite title, & I’m incredibly proud that I’m building a business I love while still staying rooted in the life I’m building it around.
So today, I’m letting myself celebrate this one BIG. I’m proud, ridiculously excited, incredibly humbled + so, so grateful.
Black Fig & Co. is officially Best Caterer of 2026.
Fifteen months in. How is this real?!
Thank you for giving this business a seat at your table. I will never stop being grateful for it. xx
