WHAT TEENS EAT AT OUR EVENTS

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all catering.

Sliders, sushi stations, mocktails and dessert bars, and more. Interactive stations and themed tables are popular. For the sweet finish, families choose from:

  • Ice cream stations

  • S'mores and candy bars

  • Signature mocktails

  • Donut walls and bagel walls

  • Mini cupcakes

Our party was fantastic. We loved it. So many compliments from guests and my daughter was thrilled… The staff was wonderful and the food was delicious as usual! Couldn’t have been better.

DO YOU HANDLE RENTALS AND SETUP

We handle as much or as little as you need.

Yes. We can bring tables, linens and chairs, plates, glassware and silverware, signage and decor, and we coordinate with your venue and staff. We work alongside your planner or lead the planning ourselves.​​
