Menu Planning
We will help plan your menu exactly as you want it, down to the very last appetizer. Our chef-created meals are made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients that are sure to please. We can even adjust menus or add options for all dietary needs — including vegetarian, vegan and lactose-free dishes. Be sure to let us know!
Event Design
Every event has a theme, whether traditional or niche. FFT Creative customizes decorations and displays to complement the occasion, combining delicious food with unique, eye-catching designs that tie the room together and leave a lasting impression. We review the venue floor plan in advance to ensure it accommodates your guests and creates a natural flow. All options will be presented to you before finalizing the design.
Day-of Coordination
All the months of planning have come down to this — the day of the event! Let us take care of setup and food preparation to ensure you can focus on more important things. When the party starts, our serving staff will oversee the food tables and provide refills to keep the good eats coming. At the end of the day, we will tear everything down, leaving the space spotless, as if we were never there.
