Connected tables, restocked all event

Late arrivals see the same spread the first guests did.

For 200 or more guests we connect several tables and restock them through the event. Setup takes 60 to 90 minutes and breakdown is on us.

The Box & Board Math

Boxes and boards for smaller groups

Individual boxes

One box per guest covers it, which makes boxes an easy call for offices and showers.

Sharing boards

Our group boards feed roughly 4 to 12 people depending on size. See boards and prices.

Mix it up

Lots of hosts pair a centerpiece board with cups or cones so guests can grab and go.

Before The Party

Three things hosts forget

1

The 30-minute rule

Cheese tastes best at room temp. Take everything out about 30 minutes before guests arrive. More on keeping it fresh.

4h
2

The 4-hour rule

Charcuterie is safe out for up to 4 hours. Open the spread when guests arrive so the clock starts at the right time.
