When Your Wedding Caterer Doubles as Event Coordinator

Events Etc - Monday, April 30, 2012

If you are planning a large-scale San Jose or San Francisco wedding, you may already have a top-quality Bayarea event coordinator to help ensure that all the logistics run smoothly on the big day. And that's great -- we work with wedding planners and event coordinators all the time, and we have nothing but respect and appreciation for their specialized skills and expertise. But if you haven't yet chosen your event coordinator to manage your wedding, or if you can't see eye-to-eye with the one you have, don't despair -- Events, Etc... can come to your rescue.

In addition to planning and serving memorable meals and a stunning cake for your wedding, we can step into the breach and take care of the wedding day event coordination tasks. This "to-do" list typically includes a host of little (and big) details, from floral arrangement delivery to technical setup for music, lighting or video presentations. We can also devise the precise sequence of the day's events, cue the various participants to do the right thing at the right time, work closely with the various vendors, and troubleshoot any last-minute challenges. We can perform all of these critical day-of tasks without the slightest drop in the quality of our own wedding catering service -- and best of all, we can do it at no extra charge to our catering client!

We're not pushing this service to replace or compete with the many highly professional event coordinators and wedding planners you can choose from in the Bay Area. However, if you don't happen to know any event coordinators -- or if something happens to disrupt your relationship with your existing event coordinator -- we want you to know that if you've chosen Events, Etc... as your wedding caterer, you'll never lack for pitch-perfect coordination on your special day!

Bringing Cultural Diversity to Corporate Event Catering

Events Etc - Monday, April 16, 2012

Variety is the spice of life, or so they say. Here at Events, Etc..., we agree -- and we bring that philosophy to life in the wide range of flavors and menu options we provide to our corporate catering clients.

The standard "rubber chicken" dinner seems more out of touch than ever in today's era of global diversity. The modern workplace celebrates the many cultures represented by its employees, customers and business partners. When you're having a corporate event catered, you have to keep the specific wishes and tastes of the attendees in mind. That's one of the reasons we offer mouth-watering vegetarian dishes made from fresh, seasonal ingredients. Aside from the simple fact that they are healthy and delicious, these dishes ensure that vegetarians can enjoy the event just as fully as any other guests.

Sometimes a particular cultural theme requires the appropriate cuisine. If you hold an event to welcome representatives of your Indian branch, for example, the inclusion of Indian foods in your catered menu displays thoughtfulness as well as a genuine appreciation for your guests' culture. We can provide Indian, Mexican, Asian and many other regional or national menus to add a special touch to your next corporate event -- and yes, these menus can include vegetarian options as well.

If you really want to mix things up, why not go global in your menu planning? If you have an international gathering on your hands or just want to provide the maximum amount of variety, let us create a "culinary trip around the world" with multiple food stations each offering a different cuisine. Your guests will be talking about such an event long after the last pot-sticker, croissant or ravioli has been devoured.
