DIY catering: cheaper or just exhausting?

Let's break it down:

🛒 grocery store trips (multiple)
🍽️ rental equipment
⏰ hours of prep time
👨‍🍳 cooking on event day
🧹 cleanup afterward
😰 the stress of doing it all yourself

By the time you add it up, you're not saving as much as you think. And you definitely aren't enjoying your own event.

We handle everything from setup to cleanup so you can actually be present for the moments that matter.

Your dream vendors aren’t waiting forever. Why should you?

It's time. ⏰

That caterer who takes 3 days to reply? The one who "will get back to you soon"? They're costing you the DJ you wanted, the venue you loved, and the photographer who's already booked.

Great vendors work with great vendors. When you secure your caterer early, they connect you with their trusted network. Everyone wins. 🎉

📞 Call us at (919) 444-8341 to lock in your date and get access to the best vendor network in the Triangle.
