At Coast Catering, we understand that every event is unique and deserves a personalized touch. That’s why we offer a variety of service style options to suit any occasion, from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations. Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, or a special celebration, our team is here to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of exceptional. Below, we outline the different service styles we offer, each designed to enhance your event and create unforgettable memories for you and your guests.
Plated Service
For a more formal and elegant dining experience, our plated service is the perfect choice. Here’s what sets our plated service apart:
Synchronized Service: Just like in an upscale restaurant, our team provides synchronized service to ensure that all guests are served at the same time. This attention to detail enhances the dining experience and adds a touch of sophistication to your event.
Personalized Menus: Each guest can enjoy a pre-selected menu, tailored to their dietary preferences and requirements. This ensures that everyone receives a meal that meets their needs and exceeds their expectations.
Elegant and Formal Atmosphere: Plated service is ideal for events where you want to create a sense of elegance and formality, such as weddings, galas, and corporate dinners.
Family-Style Service
Family-style dining brings a sense of warmth and togetherness to any event. Here’s how our family-style service works:
Plated Salads to Start: We begin the meal by serving a beautifully plated salad to each guest. This ensures that everyone has something to enjoy while the main course is being prepared.
Shared Platters: Our servers then bring out platters of food and place them in the center of the table, allowing guests to pass the dishes around and serve themselves. This encourages interaction and conversation, making it a great choice for events where guests may not know each other well.
Comfortable and Interactive: Family-style service combines the best of buffet and plated service, offering the variety of a buffet with the intimacy of a sit-down meal. This style is ideal for weddings, family reunions, and other events where you want to create a sense of community and togetherness.
Small Plates Mix & Mingle
Our small plates service is perfect for events where you want to create an upscale cocktail party vibe. Here’s how it works:
Mix and Mingle: Guests can enjoy a variety of small plates, each carefully crafted and beautifully presented. This allows guests to try a range of flavors and dishes without committing to a full meal.
Chef-Attended Stations: Our mix-and-mingle stations are attended by our talented chefs, who will plate each dish upon request. This adds a unique and interactive element to your event, allowing guests to watch as their food is prepared and plated.
Ideal for Cocktail Parties and Receptions: Small plates and stations are perfect for events where you want to encourage mingling and interaction among guests, such as cocktail parties, receptions, and networking events.
Buffet Service
Buffet service is a popular choice for many events, offering guests the freedom to choose from a variety of dishes and create their own plates. Here’s what you can expect from our buffet service:
Diverse Menu Options: We provide a wide range of dishes, from appetizers and salads to main courses and sides. Our menu is designed to cater to all tastes and dietary preferences, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Signage and Staff Assistance: Each dish is accompanied by clear signage, so your guests know exactly what they’re choosing. Our attentive staff is always on hand to help with plating and ensure that the buffet is continually replenished throughout the event.
