Boutique Chef-Led Catering​

Elevated Events. Intimate Execution.

 

Large-scale catering often loses the "soul" of the food. My boutique catering service is the antidote to the ordinary. Designed for groups of 12 to 40, I provide a chef-led experience that prioritizes precision, flavor, and elegance. Whether it’s a milestone celebration, a corporate retreat, or an upscale cocktail hour, I bring the high-standards of fine dining to your event’s scale.

The Three Pillars of the Experience:

  • Curated Event Menus: We move beyond the standard "chicken or fish" options. Every event features a cohesive, themed menu designed to complement the flow of your gathering, from passed hors d'oeuvres to multi-course seated meals.

  • Professional On-Site Execution: This is not "drop-off" catering. I lead the culinary production on-site, ensuring every plate meets my exacting standards for temperature, texture, and presentation.

  • Full-Spectrum Hospitality: From menu planning and ingredient procurement to professional service and kitchen cleanup, my goal is to ensure you are the host, not the help.

The Process:

  1. The Vision Board: We start with your event’s theme, guest count, and venue logistics to determine the best service style (Plated, Family-Style, or Stations).

  2. The Proposal: I provide a detailed culinary layout, including menu selections and a transparent breakdown of service fees and ingredient costs.

  3. The Prep: I source premium, seasonal ingredients from local Charlotte purveyors specifically for your date.

  4. The Event: My team and I arrive on-site to execute your menu with the same "Soul in the Citi" flair found in my private dining sessions.

 

Investment & Planning: Boutique catering services are custom-quoted to ensure your specific needs are met. Professional service fees typically begin at $500 for small groups, plus the cost of ingredients and additional service staff if required.

Your event deserves a Chef, not just a caterer. Let’s build a menu that your guests will be talking about long after the final toast.
