Signature Presentation

Food has the power to become part of the celebration itself.

Our Signature Presentation turns your buffet into an immersive visual experience through intentional food styling, thoughtfully designed tablescapes, and artistic details that amplify the feeling moving through the event. Working alongside our food and table designer, we create a one-of-a-kind presentation that becomes a beautiful centerpiece of your day.

Starting at $700 to $1,000, depending on scale.

A few notes

The things worth knowing early

Prices move

Everything here is a starting point. Final cost depends on menu selections, guest count and the details of your event.

Rentals are separate

Dinnerware, glassware, flatware, linens, napkins, tables and other rental items are quoted separately.

Travel

Travel within the Asheville area is included. Additional fees may apply for venues more than 35 minutes out.

Guest minimum

A minimum of 30 guests applies across all three service styles.

Plated service

Plated service needs a commercial kitchen on site, so it is not available from the mobile kitchen.

Once the menu is chosen we finalise details, take a deposit, and the date is yours.
