Perfect for Drop-Off or Styled Presentation

We offer both staffed and unstaffed setups depending on your needs. For low-maintenance gatherings, our drop-off platters arrive beautifully packaged and ready to serve. You’ll get the same gourmet flavors and presentation without the need for onsite coordination.

If your event has more formality or requires décor alignment, we can provide styled stations with risers, linens, and layout design, perfect for events with a guest-facing food display.

For casual grazing tables with variety, consider pairing with our hors d’oeuvre baskets for a multi-format setup that keeps guests exploring flavors.

Ideal for Social Gatherings and Themed Events

Stationary platters shine in relaxed, self-paced environments. Whether you’re hosting a retirement party, a birthday celebration, or a weekend baby shower, these displays bring visual appeal and consistent access to delicious options. For social events where guests wander and mingle, they are both functional and attractive.

Our team also helps design station layouts for event menus that combine stationary platters with warm items, bar service, or themed displays. Planning a fun concept? We regularly support themed events with grazing tables styled around specific colors, cultures, or seasonal touches.

If you’d like to complement your spread with warm or passed items, many hosts include passed hors d’oeuvres or flavorful party snacks to create movement and variety within the event space.

Afternoon Sandwich Platters and Light Fare

Stationary platters also lend themselves well to daytime gatherings. One of our most requested options is the Afternoon Tea Sandwich tray, featuring elegant, bite-sized sandwiches such as smoked salmon with chive cream cheese, turkey with tarragon mayo, and cucumber with mint butter. These options are ideal for professional settings and small-scale personal events alike.

All menu items are arranged for easy pickup, minimal waste, and balanced pacing—so your guests can enjoy their time without interruption or the need for formal seating.
