Who doesn’t love a buffet? This style of event provides your guests with a variety of choices so they can build their own plate to perfection. Our buffet style events also include tablecloths, chafing dishes, and all the utensils so all you’ll need to worry about is selecting your menu, and we’ll take care of the rest!
Features hors d'oeuvres and other small bites.. The hors d'oeuvres are usually one- or two-bite portions and can be a combination of hot and cold options. The hors d'oeuvres can be passed by servers or stationary for guests to get themselves. This event style is a good choice for those wanting a more casual atmosphere and for their guests to really mingle.
Let us impress your guests with our full-service style caterings. This style comes with all the bells and whistles, and is perfect for occasions when you are looking for something extra special. Bay Area Catering and Events will provide everything, including table linens, fine cutlery, chairs, flowers, lighting and decor, to make your event a memorable one. This fully-staffed event is perfect for bridal showers, weddings, anniversary parties, graduation parties, and more!
This style breaks up your food displays — unlike a buffet which directs everybody through the food in the same order — with different tables offering different things, usually by category. Stations are a great way to incorporate a theme into your food (for example, "around the world" stations where different countries' foods are represented on each table).
These are perfect grab and go lunches for events when time and convenience is of the essence. Our individually boxed lunches come labelled, are tailored to your guests’ various dietary and special requests, are prepared fresh, and delivered to you. Delicious food and easy clean-up make this style an easy choice for a quick lunch!
Food prepared fresh for you, ready when you need it. This style is as simple as selecting your food and letting us know when you need it by. We promise to have it ready for you to pick up with disposable chafing pans, platters, cutlery, plates, serving utensils, and napkins!
