Birthdays, anniversaries & intimate gatherings

Celebrate at your table. Stay present for it.

I plan private dinners and small catered gatherings around the occasion, guest mix, dietary needs, service style, and space. The host gets more room to enjoy the people who came.

  • Birthdays, anniversaries, showers, and reunions
  • Plated, shared, or cocktail-style planning
  • Custom menu conversation
  • Generally up to approximately 30 guests

Client feedback

Food worth gathering for.

Every event begins with a direct conversation about the people, place, and occasion.

David catered our anniversary dinner and honestly the steak was better than any restaurant we've been to. He made the whole night feel special without being stuffy. Already booked him for my mom's birthday

A personal event, not a fixed banquet package.

David reviews the home or venue, timing, guest count, staffing needs, rentals, and desired service before confirming what the event requires.

Before you inquire

Useful answers for a better first plan.

Which celebrations are a fit?

Birthdays, anniversaries, showers, reunions, and other intimate gatherings are useful starting points. David reviews every request before confirming fit.

Can service be plated or family-style?

Yes. Plated, shared, and cocktail-style directions can be discussed based on the menu, property, staffing, and desired pace.

Can dietary needs be accommodated?

List every allergy and restriction in the request. David will discuss what may be accommodated but cannot promise a completely allergen-free environment.

Is pricing available immediately?

No. Guest count, menu, staffing, service, travel, rentals, and the property all influence the written proposal.

A personal proposal starts with practical details

Share the date, place, and guest count.
