Everything you need to know about graduation catering
How far in advance should I book?
Our weekends in May and June fill up fast, often 3-4 months in advance. We recommend booking as soon as you have your graduation date confirmed. Don't wait until spring break!
How much food do I need for a graduation party?
It depends on the format. A two-hour backyard party needs different quantities than a four-hour open house. We help you calculate based on your guest count, timing, and menu so you never run out but don't overspend on leftovers.
Do you provide chafing dishes and equipment?
Yes! We include wire racks, chafing dishes, sternos (fuel), and serving utensils so your hot food stays hot for the entire 4-hour window. Everything you need is included.
Can you do outdoor graduation parties?
Absolutely. We're experienced with Michigan's unpredictable spring weather and can advise on setup for outdoor, tent, or indoor/outdoor hybrid events. We'll help you plan for any scenario.
Do you offer school color decorations?
Yes! We coordinate napkins, plates, and décor in school colors, whether that's Maize and Blue for U of M or your high school's colors. Just let us know when you book.
What areas do you serve?
We serve all of Washtenaw County including Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Saline, Dexter, and surrounding areas. Delivery and setup are included with most packages.
