Event Savvy

Preferred Caterer at The Douglas Beach House

Welcome your guests with some delicious and unique and time honored, stationed and passed appetizers. We are partnered with many coastal farms and we strive to source locally whenever possible. Please note that due to seasonal availability, we may need to recommend a suitable substitution should it be necessary. Again our goal is to bring you and your guests the highest quality, freshest ingredients that the coast can offer!

Begin your event with some lovely hors d’oeuvres. You might choose 2-3 stationed appetizers and a selection of passed appetizers.
