Celebration Catering and Private Chef Services in Vail, Park City, and Dallas.
Any time that you can get together with family and friends is a time to celebrate. Food can express love, so feeding the people closest to you exquisite, unique dishes can express more than words. Furthermore, having the meal catered allows you to join in the festivities without having to worry about the logistics of the meal, which, though important to its success, can be an unwelcome distraction from special moments with your loved ones.
Red Maple Catering provides private chef services and luxury catering in Dallas, Park City, and Vail. Whatever the occasion, we can provide a special meal that makes it unforgettable.
What Special Considerations Go Into Event Catering?
While there are many specific considerations that go into successfully catering a celebratory meal in Dallas, Texas, the guiding principle behind them all is to be sensitive to your guests' needs. This means thinking about the following when planning the meal:
Guests' ages
Voluntary dietary restrictions
Religious requirements
Food allergies and intolerances
If you are planning a meal for people close to you, you may already know this information. However, perhaps you are preparing a larger party in Vail, and your guests are bringing plus-ones with whom you may not already be acquainted. If so, it is entirely appropriate to ask about guests' dietary requirements and restrictions when requesting RSVPs. Don't worry that the question is too personal or that prospective guests will be insulted. Most people would much rather go to a party confident in the knowledge that there will be something available for them to eat than to have to go hungry. They are more likely to be offended if you didn't think to ask and assumed that a one-size-fits-all menu would be appropriate.
Nevertheless, it may not be practical to ask your guests about their dietary requirements beforehand, or you may not feel comfortable doing so. If that is the case, the best alternative is to provide a wide array of options to guests who may have restrictions. The following alternatives should cover most guests' needs:
Meat-free dishes
Vegan dishes (no animal products)
Gluten-free dishes
If you are serving the meal buffet-style, be sure to label the special dishes, so people with particular dietary requirements know what their choices are.
What Different Types of Catering Services Do We Provide?
We know that each individual event requires its own type of meal. At Red Maple Catering, we offer three different types of catering services. Whether you are planning an extremely formal event or a casual get-together, one of the following options should suit your purpose perfectly.
Full-Service Catering: We prepare the food, bring it to your venue, and serve it to your guests, taking care of all the required tasks along the way.
Private Chef Services: We prepare and serve your meal for you in the privacy of your own home.
Delivered Drop-Off Catering: We prepare a meal for delivery to your location and drop it off at your door. For your safety and convenience, this is a contactless option.
What Is Included in Full-Service Catering?
With traditional catering in Park City, Utah, your food is prepared and delivered, possibly served to your guests, but that is the extent of the caterers' responsibility. You have to take care of everything else, whether you do it yourself or delegate tasks to others. With full-service catering from Red Maple, we provide more comprehensive services in addition to preparing the food:
Food Service
In addition to preparing the food, we can provide staff to serve the food to your guests. It does not matter whether you are providing a plated meal or a buffet-style dinner; your guests do not have to serve themselves.
Dining Set-up
Not only can we serve the food, but we can also set up the space beforehand, so it is ready when your guests arrive. Again, whether you choose a buffet or plated dinner makes no difference; we can still handle the setup for you.
Clean-up
Nothing spoils a fun event for you like having to handle the clean-up afterward. Enjoy the rest of your party with the peace of mind that comes from knowing our staff will handle the clean-up for you.
Other Services
With full-service catering, we can take care of any additional food and drink services related to your event. This includes providing cakes and other baked goods as well as bartending and beverage services.
What Sets Red Maple Catering Apart?
We believe that people should have access to luxury catering wherever they live. Red Maple Catering was established to fill a void that we perceived in the area from Park City to Dallas. Our chefs received their training from some of the country's finest hotels and restaurants, including the Bellagio, the Four Seasons, and the Ritz-Carlton.
In the Vail Valley, we are fortunate that we have access to organic produce growers, artisan cheesemakers, and some of the country's best beef, game, poultry, and pork. We craft our menus based on these high-quality ingredients that we can source locally.
Another point of pride for us is that we can cater events that are held in out-of-the-way locales. Even if you are holding your family reunion in a remote spot up in the mountains, we can find a way to serve you.
We would be pleased to craft an unforgettable meal for your family celebration. Contact us for more information.
