Cocktail reception
Elegant standing receptions for 40 to 250 guests, with passed small bites, a grazing table and optional bar service.
Overview
For receptions where people stand, talk and move, we design a menu of one- and two-bite dishes that can be eaten with one hand and a glass in the other. Think lamb kofta on rosemary skewers, whipped feta on crisp pita, and tiny cones of za'atar fries.
Our events team coordinates with your venue or planner, brings the staff, and can run a full bar service with a Colorado liquor permit. We have catered openings at galleries in RiNo, weddings in Evergreen and company galas downtown.
