What sets us apart? Glad you asked.

We make delicious food. Yeah we do! We are culinary-inspired, cooking up creative twists on classic dishes and new tastes to highlight local flavors. 

We love local. We love serving local, fresh ingredients not only because they taste better, but it supports our community of local businesses and farmers…and it’s the right thing to do.

We care about the environment. We source over 50% of our products from Wisconsin supporting our local ecosystem. We have a compost program through Compost Crusaders, use all earth-friendly disposable products, and are the only certified Green Caterer in Wisconsin.

We love our couples! To be part of their big day is one of the biggest honors. Our team does what it takes to make the planning process less stressful, answer all your questions, and make it memorable for you and your guests.
