Cocktail Receptions

Hors d’Oeuvres or Appetizer Buffets are perfect for serving many guests in a smaller space, such as an open house in a corporate office or a reception in a private home. The food is easy to eat and can be eaten standing up or walking around. Cocktail Receptions can be light, finger food or hearty enough to serve as a meal.

The catering possibilities are as varied as our client’s tastes and budgets. The following appetizer menus are examples of popular choices. We are always happy to make changes and substitutions, or you may create your own menu.

Additional menu items may be found at Appetizers and Appetizers Suitable for Butler Service (found at the end of these menus).
