I started out on our farm where from time to time I would host local children's charity events and then eventually, weddings, birthday parties - you name it. I prepared the food and decorated the venue while my husband, Gill, coordinated the logistics. Over time my passion for serving people through cooking and creating beautiful spaces, organically became our business. At Cater 2 Events we striv
e to create menus and spaces specifically tailored to bringing your vision to life. We believe that sourcing the areas greatest event partners and most attentive service staff allows us to help produce your perfect event. We understand that life is busy and doesn't always allow you the time to prepare a homemade meal for a dinner party or handcrafted appetizers for a shower, or a gourmet spread for a larger party or corporate event. We all have enough stress factors in our life, food should not be one of them. We're here to help you create a menu and an environment where guests can gather to enjoy a good meal, a laugh, and great conversation.

As a boutique caterer, we make sure your event meets the highest standard of both food and fun, we collaborate with the area's best event planners and venues, and our attentive staff treat your guests with warmth and grace.
My interest in catering began years ago. I lived on our farm and, from time to time, I would host local children's charity events. Eventually, those gatherings grew into weddings, birthday parties, corporate parties, and other events. I prepared the food and decorated the venue while my husband, Gill, coordinated the logistics. Over time my passion for serving people by cooking and creating beautiful spaces organically became our business. Cater 2 Events was born.
At C2E, we understand that you're busy and don't always have time to prepare a homemade meal for a dinner party, handcrafted appetizers for a shower, or a gourmet spread for larger parties or corporate events. That's when you call us. We're here to help you create a tasty menu and a welcoming environment - a place where guests can gather to enjoy a good meal, a laugh, and great conversation.
When I'm not cooking, I enjoy tennis, horses, snow skiing, river getaways, and quality family time at home.
