Creating beautiful events is important, but creating experiences that leave lasting memories for our clients is what truly matters.

"In addition to the exceptional talent, taste quality and hospitality, Emily’s Events created an incredible memory over multiple days for our family, namely, because of their sincerity warmth and attention to needs and details. We will use them over and over and over again. Not one time was the answer ever no to any of our requests; they are accommodating, self starters, proactive kind, sweet and left our home each night from a chef event sparkling, clean like diamonds. Incredible incredible incredible. I wish all companies were like this."

Meet one of our favorite hors d'oeuvres: Creamy Whipped Brie topped with Toasted Almonds and sweet Fruit Chutney, all nestled inside a delicate tart shell. 🤍

It's the perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, sweet, and savory - and somehow disappears from trays faster than almost anything else we serve.

Let's settle a catering debate... 👀

If you could only have ONE appetizer flavor profile at a party, are you choosing:

Talk about a photo finish... 🏇🌹✨

We’re still reminiscing about this year’s Kentucky Derby celebration and all the incredible details that made it one for the books.

From the iconic Run for the Roses theme and lively dancers to the festive backdrops, open bar, and guests dressed to impress, the energy was as exciting as the race itself.

And the menu? A winner's circle lineup:

🌹 Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders
🌹 Hot Honey Fried Chicken Bites
🌹 Chicken Salad Lettuce Cups
🌹 Caesar Salad Cups
🌹 Roasted Vegetable Mediterranean Cups
🌹 Seasoned Potato Wedges
🌹 Fresh Fruit Skewers

Events like this are why we love what we do - bringing together great food, great people, and unforgettable experiences that keep everyone talking long after the last mint julep is poured. 🥂

Now for the important question... if you were hosting a Kentucky Derby party, what would your racehorse name be? 🏇👇

Tiny desserts. Major decisions. ✨🍰

Tonight’s lineup:

There’s something about miniature desserts at an event that instantly makes everything feel a little more elevated, a little more playful, and a lot more irresistible.

Okay… settle the debate for us ⬇️

45 years deserves more than just dinner. 🥃✨

Our client wanted something warm, elevated, and genuinely memorable for this milestone birthday - so we created a curated 5-course whiskey tasting experience with elegant pairings, beautiful presentation, and the kind of atmosphere that makes people slow down and really enjoy the moment.

There’s just something special about good food, great whiskey, and a table full of people celebrating someone they love. 💛

Honestly… we’d host this vibe every weekend. 🔥💃

An evening of bold pours, beautiful pairings, and unforgettable flavors… 🍷✨

Our recent Wine Tasting Dinner was nothing short of a culinary journey—where every sip told a story and every bite elevated the experience.

🥂 THE SPUMONTIS
Light, bright, and oh-so-refreshing…
Think lemon zest, green apple, wild strawberry, and delicate florals - perfectly paired with seafood, creamy cheeses, antipasti, and those irresistible smoked duck crostini.

🍝 THE CHIANTIS
Rich, romantic, and layered with depth…
Notes of tart cherry, violets, cedar, and spice came alive alongside charred sourdough with whipped ricotta, bistecca skewers, wild mushroom polenta, and short rib mashed potato cups.

🍖 THE SUPER TUSCANS
Bold, velvety, and unforgettable…
With flavors of black cherry, plum, to***co, and dark chocolate, these wines paired beautifully with Kona rubbed lamb lollipops and crispy pork belly with butternut squash purée.

✨ Nights like this are why we love what we do - bringing people together over incredible food, exceptional wine, and moments that linger long after the last glass is poured.

Some events are special… and then some become core memories ✨

We’re still smiling after hosting a cooking class that turned into a surprise wedding celebration - talk about unforgettable! From shaking up classic margaritas to perfecting phenomenal guac and savoring lamb chop lollipops, the night was filled with laughter, connection, and incredible flavors.

There’s just something magical about bringing people together in the kitchen… because apparently you don’t really know someone until you’ve deshelled 100 jumbo prawns side-by-side 🦐💛

Moments like these are why we love what we do - creating experiences full of joy, delicious food, and meaningful connection.

Here’s the beautiful review that made our day:

“Last night was an epic event, a cooking class turned surprise wedding! Emily and Rick threw an amazing event with delicious food and drink. What a wonderful night of learning some inside baseball on how to make phenomenal guac, classic margs, and lamb chop lollipops! And not to mention getting to spend time with fellow colleagues. You don’t really know someone until you’ve deshelled 100 jumbo prawns together. From the positive and inclusive energy, to the quality ingredients, this was a night to remember. Can’t wait for the next event hosted by Emily and her outstanding team. Thanks!”

We’re so grateful to every client who trusts us with their most meaningful celebrations!! 🤍

✨ This kind of feedback is everything to us. ✨

“Everyone LOVED the entire meal, the shrimp cocktail was an especially big hit with folks making their own blends of sauce using the Atomic and Regular sauces. The tenderloin turned out great (although heating time was a bit longer than recommended in the heating instructions) - Thermometer was key! There was not a carrot left and just a few of the green beans. Our grand children thought the marsh mellows were the coolest thing ever, several never made it on to the yams.

The suggestions for the gluten free options were fantastic and greatly appreciated by our guests.

Net, we were so thankful for the meticulous preparation, everything was prepared as promised and was ready on schedule. It may be a while, but we're already looking forward to engaging your services again sometime in the future when we get everyone together again. Just posted a review on Yelp, which I hope proves helpful.

Thanks again. Happy New Year!”

Hearing how our food brought everyone together - from guests creating their own shrimp cocktail sauces to grandchildren sneaking marshmallows - is exactly why we do what we do. 💛

We’re so grateful for the trust, the thoughtful feedback, and the opportunity to be part of moments like these. Thank you for sharing your experience and for already thinking ahead to the next gathering - we’ll be ready when you are. ✨
