 General

  • We offer full-service catering for events of all sizes, including food, beverages, professional servers, licensed bartenders, oyster shuckers, delivery, setup, and cleanup.

    For smaller or more casual events, we also offer delivery-only service and self-serve equipment rentals. Place settings are available in eco-friendly bamboo or premium disposable options, and we can also recommend a local vendor for china, glassware, and flatware rentals.

  • We cater weddings, rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, corporate events, family reunions, private beach dinners, and gatherings of all types—ranging from intimate dinners for two to large-scale celebrations with 200+ guests.

  • Absolutely. You can choose from one of our signature packages or mix and match items from different menus to create a custom meal. We also work with local restaurants to fulfill unique requests and can accommodate many dietary preferences.

  • Yes. Tastings are available based on vendor availability and are generally not offered during peak tourist season. Tastings must be scheduled at least 30 days in advance to allow for specialty item sourcing. The fee is $30 per person (limit 4 guests), excluding alcohol.

  • Yes! You can place your order directly through our online ordering system. If you're looking for items not currently listed online or need a more customized package, we’re happy to work with you to create a personalized quote. Just reach out to us directly, and we’ll help bring your vision to life.

  • We offer a variety of menu items that can accommodate many common dietary preferences and restrictions, including select gluten-free, vegetarian, and other specialty options.

    Because we partner with multiple local restaurants and chefs, we are unable to accommodate small, individualized allergy requests or guarantee against cross-contact for severe allergies.

    For the best experience, please let our team know about any dietary needs, food sensitivities, or preferred menu accommodations during the menu planning process, and we will gladly guide you toward the best available options for your event.

  • We recommend booking 6–12 months in advance for weddings and major events, and at least 4–8 weeks ahead for smaller gatherings, especially during peak seasons like around the winter holidays. At Catering Connections, we aim to please so even if you have a last minute request we’ll do our best to accommodate where possible!

  • You’ll want to know your event date, estimated guest count, venue area (if the exact location is not known yet), budget range, and general idea of the food or vibe you’re going for.
