Corporate Holiday Parties

Lavish corporate holiday parties that used to include grand ballrooms, open bars, live bands and sometimes over-the-top decoration, are no longer a financial possibility for many companies. Before eliminating these celebrations from fiscal budgets, we have seen many corporate holiday parties simply scaled down to a more reasonable expenditure. Believe it or not, many employees are pleasantly surprised to be invited to the boss’ own home for a less elaborate, more intimate celebration, while others host a luncheon in the conference room during regular business hours. Either way, whatever the budget, employees feel appreciated and are able to enjoy the company of their coworkers on a more casual and relaxed social level.

For several years running, our delivered food division, A Tray to Remember™ has offered packages that have successfully fit the needs of this type of in-home or in-office catering. Depending on your guest count, we offer packages that start at less than $15 per person. One of our holiday favorites…

We also offer amazing Hors D’Oeuvres and decadent Desserts that are sure to please even the most diverse and discerning group. If your group consists of “picky” eaters, we know “picky”. Consult with one of our knowledgeable Event Coordinators today for recommendations and proven solutions. Because our sales team actually enjoys interacting with customers, and have a special place in their hearts for food, you will find yourself in very capable hands.

If all of this seems a bit overwhelming, ask about our experienced personnel to come to your home or office, not only to receive the order upon delivery, but to heat if necessary, set your buffet, serve your guests, replenish menu items and clean up. If you require special linens, equipment or decoration, we can help with that as well. It’s your choice, you may simply place an order or you can choose to plan a more detailed event without breaking the bank.

During the Holiday Season, no matter what you are celebrating, no event is too small. The effort that goes into planning even the most basic celebration can prove to be the most sincere gesture.

Happy Holiday’s from all of us at Catering By Michael’s! We appreciate all of our clients business and look forward to being of service in 2011.

HORS D’OEUVRES

With the current economic climate in the Catering and Hospitality Industry, many hotels have turned to outsourcing hors d’oeuvres, desserts and other various items for catered events to cut back on kitchen labor costs. This provides Catering by Michaels a unique opportunity to expand our business. As Catering by Michaels employs a full kitchen staff, we have the capability to produce large quantities of food on short notice. We offer a large variety of buttlered-style and buffet hors d’oeuvres and desserts that we are already producing for our own events, therefore, the additional man power required to increase the volume of production for potential wholesale clients is quite minimal. With a large fleet of drivers, we also possess the ability to deliver to our wholesale clients the day of, everything packaged for convenient assembly, or pre-assembled (depending on product) for ease and convenience. Everything would be freshly made from scratch, and guaranteed to the standard of perfection that has afforded us all of our culinary accolades. As the dynamics of the Catering world have shifted greatly with the current economic recession, to remain relevant, we must always be evaluating the market place; our client’s ever changing needs and expanding our customer base. With that in consideration, we are hoping capitalize on the labor cut backs many hotels are experiencing and grow an entirely new wholesale client base.
