BUFFETS & STATIONS Buffets are great for large groups. Since your guests will be going through a line and serving themselves, this option requires the least amount of staffing. Stations are a fun, interactive service option for your guests! Choose multiple stations for your main dinner or add a station to your cocktail hour. PLATED & FAMILY STYLE Plated service is a more formal style of service. Servers will bring beautifully crafted plated meals to each of your guests individually. Family style service promotes conversation and a family feel at your guest tables. Our servers bring platters of food to each guest table; guests will pass the platters around and serve themselves. TRUCK SERVICE Include the food truck to serve appetizers during cocktail hour, or serve your main dinner from the truck window! *Limitations apply for serving the main meal from the truck for guest counts over 100.
