ample time for you and us to best plan for a smooth service on your special day.
You will partner directly with Nicole to detail our your special day's catering and service need with scheduled video consultations.

On event day, you will also have a dedicated on site Operations Banquet Manager and Owner and service provide Nicole to execute service along with a team of catering attendants to serve both FOH (front of house) and BOH (back of house, culinary) to ensure a smooth and tasty day.

There is of course, additional behind the scenes team members preparing for your special day, such as formatting your menu, packing supplies, washing dishes, chopping vegetables and a host of tasks.
Many caterers have a sale rep who sells a catering package and another staff to deliver service. Nicole does both and sees your event from start to finish, avoiding any misunderstanding on the outcome.
We recommend some type of day of point person for any event. This can be a full service event planner or day of planner.
Their role allows YOU to be in the moment for your special day and not checking to ensure the event is running on schedule.

As an exepreinced Catering and Wedding Planner, I have seen far to many brides accidentally micro manage their own wedding reception, taking you away from the joys of the moment and celebrating your new family.

The Table Catering is happy to partner with your family, vendors and planning team on your special day to ensure smooth logistics and fun celebratory day.

Freebee: Planning Check List

““Nicole and Peter were the perfect partners we did not know we were looking for. We had a wedding of about 100 people, nearly all of whom were coming from out-of-state.

We wanted to give our guests a fancied-up-backyard feeling while sharing the amazing produce we had grown to love since moving to the Bay Area.

Nicole and Peter worked with us to deftly navigate many constraints (including a number of allergies) and create a plan that delighted us all.

We couldn’t have had the incredible wedding experience we did if it weren’t for Nicole and Peter. They both went out of their way to take care of us.

And the food. We *still* have people reminisce about how much they liked the food at our wedding.

Nicole and Peter’s love for food and hospitality carried into every plate, each bite, and showered us and our guests with the love we wanted to share with them on our wedding day.”

— – Jennifer + Chris

Everything the Callis’ prepare is delicious, healthy, and thoughtful! They catered our wedding 8 years ago and it was a wonderful experience. We and all of our friends had a great time at the wedding and we couldn't have done it without them!

Peter and Nicole worked really hard all day, but they were so nice and composed, we knew they had everything under control. It was a pleasure to work with them on all the planning. The walk-through, in particular, helped us get a sense of how we should set up the hall and structure the evening.

We also appreciated that they helped us stretch our budget as much as possible. We received lots of comments from our guests that the food was great. Everyone raved especially about the potato salad and the meatballs!
