The Holiday Cocktail Party

For many of our clients, a cocktail party fits perfectly not only with their style and space, but also their budget. We have designed

these menus to fit these specific needs. Choose an entirely passed menu, heavy hors d’oeuvres display, or a combination of both. Our Event Designers will help guide you to

your perfect menu!

Holiday Tip: Remember that the timing of your event can help determine your menu. For example, an event before the dinner hour can be perfect for a light a hors d’oeuvres menu; however, an event that goes into the night may be better suited for a heavy hors d’oeuvres menu.
