We Put the Art in Parties
How many caterers have a Director of Fun? Ours will take your party seriously – so you can relax and become one of the guests. Whatever the occasion, our expertise will give it that distinctive flare.

We have created parties of all sizes and accommodated a variety of budgets. If you want something unique, ask about a themed event.

How to plan
There are many things to consider when planning a party. We’re here to help you get it right.

Most Cocktail Parties swing from 7–10 pm. Ish. That means your guests will not likely have eaten before the event. Some of them might expect to fill up on hors d’oeuvres and call it dinner.

People love our hors d’oeuvres. Maybe it’s because they’re such pretty little parcels of yumminess. Or because they’re so scrumptious and fun to pop in your mouth. A true cocktail menu should plan for 8-10 pieces per guest, about $12-15 per person. And remember that if some of your guests should help themselves to 12 or 20, our servers will be too polite to stop them.

A cocktail menu provides savoury little bites of delight to nibble with cocktails. Often before dinner, sometimes after dinner, but not instead of dinner. If you want to provide enough hors d’oeuvres to satisfy a dinner appetite, plan for 20-25 pieces per guest. That will add up to about $30-$40 per person. A full buffet dinner, on the other hand, with second helpings, starts from $20 per person.

Our point? Hors d’oeuvres are beautiful but labour-intensive, and therefore more costly than a traditional dinner. This is a good point to keep in mind when you’re doing a cost comparison of different events.
