We believe beautiful gatherings and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Here’s how well focus on sustainability :
• Biodegradable serveware
• Local partnerships with farmers + makers
• Thoughtful planning to help reduce waste
• Seasonal menus from our own Soil & Seed Garden
• More mindful choices like reusable décor and beverage stations.

Painted Desert — one dessert, three ways to impress.

This Madagascar Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta with roasted pineapple dulce, sweet prickly pear, and hand-crafted marshmallow meringues is as intentional as it is beautiful.

Serve it plated as part of a full-service dinner.
Make it the star of an interactive dessert station.
Or have it pre-set at the table, waiting for guests to return after the main course—an effortless way to keep the evening flowing.

We design experiences, not just dishes.

Which service style fits your event: formal and plated or interactive and free-flowing?

Themed menus are in and guests are loving every bite.

Think beyond traditional catering. Curated flavors and culturally inspired stations (like this Asian-forward spread) turn your event into an experience.

From weddings and birthdays to branded corporate events, we design menus that match your theme—and keep people coming back for seconds.

This setup? Crispy egg rolls, grilled chicken skewers, veggie spring rolls, and sweet chili sauce. All made to be mingled with.

Let’s build your flavor story.

💡Event Tip: Don’t overlook the power of a signature drink.
Custom cocktails aren’t just for weddings—they’re a growing trend at events if all kinds.
Why? Because they add personality, create photo-worthy moments, and give guests something to talk about.
Think spicy jalapeño-lime margaritas or a blood orange cocktail with a bold rim and garnish. Try incorporating the drink into your theme, your brand, or even your favorite flavor.

Pro tip: Name the drink after your event, your dog, or an inside joke—guests love it.
