Serving Carmel-by-the-Sea and Beyond
Our team is proud to call this coastal gem our backyard. You’ll spot us regularly at gatherings all over Carmel Village, tucked in hillside neighborhoods, around historic downtown. We’re no strangers to the white sands of Carmel Beach or the lush corners of Mission Trail Park.
We know that finding a house isn’t always as simple as a street number. In Carmel-by-the-Sea, many homes are named and hidden among tall trees and gardens. We’ll happily navigate winding lanes and tree-lined drives, making sure everything arrives right on time, even when there’s not a number in sight. Whether you’re hosting at a tucked-away cottage or welcoming guests from out of town at a local landmark, we’re ready to help set the scene.
No matter the occasion, we're dedicated to creating an elevated, yet relaxed, experience that feels distinctly “Carmel.” Our buffet-style catering features thoughtfully presented dishes inspired by the seasons, ensuring every plate feels fresh and crafted with care.
