Build two days of thoughtful hospitality. Choose a starting point, tailor each meal, and see your plan come together as you go.

Start here

A starting point, made yours.

Package buttons apply a beverage and reception preset. Your meal quantities and menu picks stay intact.

Daytime and dinner guests

Reception guests

28 is the initial planning count. Reception count is still to confirm. Changing guests keeps your quantities so you can adjust the mix deliberately.

One hot boxed lunch per guest, each day

Use the three menu concepts below to build the right mix. Each day's quantities are independent.

Ingredients, dietary accommodations, hot service and second-day variations require chef confirmation. No allergen-free claim is made.

Thursday evening

Starter concept: carrot-citrus salad. Dessert concept: coconut-berry finish. The final courses will be developed with the chef.

Friday evening

Choose up to four reception bites to explore. Selected items appear immediately in your plan.

Reception length to explore

These are light reception concepts. Longer service or a meal replacement needs a revised menu and quote.

Look and feel

Schedule, rooms, dietary counts and questions
