Hospitality transforms space ✨

At a private estate in Maryland, we joined an incredible creative team to build a luxury tented wedding that felt like home - warm, intimate, and deeply personal. This family's backyard became three distinct environments for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, each one designed to feel residential in spirit and seamless in service.

From a welcoming cocktail reception in "the library", to a restaurant style plated dinner, to a lively dance floor. Every moment enhanced by our passion for thoughtful hospitality and elevated guest experiences.

For us, it's never just about the food - it's about how guests feel when they're gathered around the table. That's the art of making dreams come true events possible.

A modern love story set at , where artful design met flawless hospitality.

This luxurious tented wedding was built from the ground up, transforming the landscape into a custom restaurant style experience. Guests dined in bespoke booths beneath contemporary chandeliers savoring a two-course plated dinner followed by passed sweets and espresso martinis. As the evening continued, mini burgers and fries made a perfect late night appearance.

A glimpse into our team's R&D tasting day.

Our chefs work for months preparing new recipes that will not only be delicious but will work for dinners upwards of 500 guests. In a tent. In the middle of summer. And beyond.

It's a craft so specific to catering large scale events. Every detail is thought through, every ingredient tested, every source validated.

And at the end of those months of work, our sales team gets to see and taste all of the new items, and then in turn bring them to you and your guests.

Not to stress you out... but there's only 8 weeks until December. Time to make your holiday party dreams a reality.

We've gathered some of our favorite stations to help inspire your next holiday gathering.

Our Evening at The REACH featured two stations in the main event reception, our classic steak house station and our tapas display.

With the art direction of sterile industrial meets whimsical garden brought these food stations to life with a "living garden" encasing the base of the tables from to bring our vision for the event to life.
