Small Plates & Stations


What better way to eat than having a little bit of this, and a little bit of that?

People love variety so having the opportunity to try an assortment of different and unique dishes all in one evening is fun! Combining small plate service or one or two live action stations with some lovely hors d’oeuvres and a few stationary items, provides a fork friendly cocktail experience that encourages mingling!
