Hi @EventPlanner517! Goode Co is always great for BBQ, but there are several great catering companies in Houston. Cafe Natalie is one of my faves (please let the owner Chris know I sent you), David + Michael Corduá Events (Michael is a Houston legend and his son David is beyond talented - please also tell them I sent you if you reach out) and lastly, I LOVE this wife/husband duo who are running ESSEN Catering (please ask for Jill and tell her I said hi! They have very reasonable pricing IMO)

What Are the Best Nature Retreats in Houston for Executives?

Following Carter's Houston question... I'm helping a colleague find a retreat space in the Houston area (5 C-suite folks for one weekend). She doesn't want a corporate space or standard hotel, and wants it to have some sort of access to nature. Their budget is about $600/day. We're finding LOTS of religious-leaning retreat spaces & hotels in my search but nothing that fits her requirements. Any recs?

Can You Find Affordable Catering in NYC for Non-Profit Events?

Hi all, I work for a non-profit in NYC and have a budget of $5k to do a nicer cocktail reception for 50 people in a donated gallery space in a few weeks. Premium beer and wine, passed hors d'oeuvres and/or grazing table. I just got a quote from a caterer for $14k which includes rentals and staffing. ANother caterer thinks they can do it for $8k. Any thoughts on a lower price caterer in NYC? Or any experience with a grazing table or similar idea? We don't need a caterer with liquor license for this event, thankfully. So I can solve for wine, rentals and staffing outside of catering if needed.

Can Radish Provide an Exceptional Catering Experience?

Hi everyone! Want to share an amazing experience with one of the catering companies from San Francisco. The client was looking for something lowkey and budget friendly - lunchboxes for 450 people. I found Radish - they make boxed lunches using local food communities and Michelin star chefs recipes. The quality and presentation was just amazing, 5 out 5 stars from me and from everyone who was at the event. Overall price was under $20K including breakfast for 50 ppl, 450 lunch boxes, labor, setup, delivery. Their floor managers and staff were just wonderful. They also have a parent company Foxtail for more elevated catering and Tonic - a full-service beverage catering. (I do not have any affiliation with them, this is just from my experience 🙂) Reach out for intros!
