Gourmet Catered Experiences & Prepared Food Menu

Be a guest at your own party!

Welcome to On the Side Gourmet; catering to your every need. Whether you want a relaxing, afternoon Garden Party, or an elegant, formal reception; we can fulfill your desires. We feature customized menus for every client. Since there is no set menu; themed parties, featured ethnicity, or special dietary requirements are not an issue. We can provide multiple serving styles such as: buffet, family, plated; or have our servers pass among your guests.

If you aren't sure what you would like, we can design a meal to meet the occasion. Here are just a few examples from past events.
