Plan Your Party

Food Presentation Methods

Passed hors D'Oeuvres This option works for any event, either as a pre dinner appetizer or as the sole service of the party. They are easy to hold in your hand, offer variety to the menu and easy to serve. However, keep in mind that it takes wait staff to pass hors d oeuvres which may increase your personnel estimate.

Stationary Hors D'Oeuvres

Works well for receptions where guests arrive intermittently or move around

Buffet

A popular service choice and is familiar to everyone. This option is a good venue for offering a variety of menu choices.

Seated Dinner

At a plated meal, our uniformed wait staff will serve plated courses to individual diners
