About Custom Catering

Be it weddings, rehearsal dinners, in-home celebrations, corporate events, or fundraisers, let Kate’s make it an event to remember! Our expertise is with small to medium sized gatherings, allowing us to personalize your event to your exact specifications. We seek to turn the vision for your social and corporate events into reality, be it a casual get together with friends, or a formal affair to celebrate a momentous occasion. You will work with Kate’s culinary team to custom plan each detail from scratch, from the menu to the bar package. Kate’s also specializes in incorporating interactive elements to your event, allowing the food to act as entertainment and your guests to act as the sous chefs. Regardless of event style, theme, or vision, Kate’s will make your experience memorable and timeless.
