No Passport Required
Want a party people talk about long after the last toast? Build it around a themed catering menu. A theme gives guests a story to follow and a plate they can’t wait to try. We already offer crowd-pleasing themes for weddings, corporate events, and private parties. And we make planning simple with buffet, family-style, or plated service options.
Why Themed Menus Work
A theme does the heavy lifting. It sets the vibe, guides the courses, and helps guests know what to expect. It also makes choices easier for planners. You pick a direction, then we help you fill in the details. These menus scale well for small or large events, and they look great on the buffet line and in photos. Best of all, service runs smoothly because our team works these packages every week. Browse them all here: Our Themed Menus
Our Most-Requested Themes
Italy: cozy classics that always win
Think antipasto salad, lasagna with meat sauce, Italian sausage casserole with peppers and onions, bowtie noodles Alfredo, and Italian green beans. It’s familiar and hearty. Guests find something they know and love, which keeps the line moving and the room happy. Add a crisp salad and warm rolls and you’ve got a complete plate that works for mixed groups and all ages. This themed catering menu lets guests find favorites fast while keeping service smooth.
Mexico: a build-your-own fiesta
Let guests customize. Set out chicken breast fajitas, seasoned ground beef, warm flour tortillas, refried beans, Spanish rice, fresh salsa, and nacho chips with all the fixings. People build plates their way, come back for seconds, and keep the energy up. It’s interactive, colorful, and perfect for receptions, team events, and backyard celebrations.
Greece: the gyro-bar moment
“Make your own gyro” stations get people talking. We stock sliced gyro meat, marinated chicken, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, pita, and tzatziki. Hummus with olives, Greek salad, and spinach pie round it out. It’s fresh and bright on the table, and it photographs beautifully for wedding albums and brand events alike.
Southern: BBQ comfort for big smiles
Pulled pork with buns, BBQ chicken, famous baked beans with smoked ham, corn on the cob, and slaw. Add a range of sauces from mild to hot so guests can tune the heat. The menu feels relaxed and welcoming for summer weddings, reunions, and company picnics. It’s the “plate of comfort” that gets people lingering and sharing stories.
Irish: hearty and welcoming
Corned beef and cabbage, rosemary baked chicken, shepherd’s pie, tossed salad, rolls, and butter. It’s cozy and satisfying for cool-weather events and venues with classic charm. The flavors are familiar yet festive, and they pair well with simple bar selections like stout or wine.
Deli buffet: easy, classic, and customizable
Ham, corned beef, turkey, and hard salami with cheeses, breads, and condiments. Add potato or pasta salad and a tossed salad. It’s a low-stress choice for meetings, open houses, and next-day wedding brunches. Guests assemble plates fast and get back to the conversation.
Salmon with Lemon-Dill Sauce – A solid choice if done right. That means moist, flaky, and NOT overcooked, unless your goal is to turn Grandma into a food critic overnight.
Butternut Squash Ravioli with Brown Butter Sage Sauce – Vegetarian guests deserve better than a sad plate of grilled vegetables. This dish is rich, indulgent, and makes even the most carnivorous guest consider a plant-based lifestyle for about three bites.
Starters set the tone (and buy you time)
Start strong so guests settle in. Go elegant with a whole smoked salmon display, or keep it playful with fan-favorite tenders. We offer a large range of cold and hot hors d’oeuvres, from smoked salmon pâté on cucumber and crab legs to spinach-feta puffs, mini Reubens, bacon-wrapped shrimp, and more. Small bites ease late arrivals, keep lines light, and build appetite for the main course.
Cold ideas: smoked salmon pâté on cucumber, assorted cheeses/salami/crackers, shrimp cocktail, snow crab legs, fresh vegetables with dip, deviled eggs.
Hot ideas: spinach-feta puffs, mini Reubens, bacon-wrapped shrimp or scallops, stuffed potato skins, sausages with peppers and onions, meatballs, teriyaki chicken kabobs.
Late-night snacks people rave about
When the dance floor is still jumping, a late-night station keeps the party alive. A taco bar or fry station is fun, fast, and easy to grab between songs. It resets energy, brings people together, and turns into one of those “remember when” moments guests talk about later. It’s a smart add-on for weddings and any long event with music and open bar.
Drinks that match the menu
Round out your theme with the right pour. We provide full beverage and bar service with trained bartenders, proper glassware, and clear packages. Think five hours of open bar with one bartender per 100 guests, plus all the basics like ice, cups, and bar napkins. Choose Beer & Wine, Standard Bar, or Premium Bar; we also offer specialty selections on request. Signature cocktails and zero-proof sips are easy to plan. Pairing bar service with your themed catering menu ties the whole experience together.
