Our catering experts know how to help you determine the best options for your event and work with your budget to make it happen. Every event has different culinary needs. We can always find exactly what you are looking for. With some events, this may also mean liquor services or a bartender. We can provide these, as well as keg service, set up and cleanup. Decorating can be another frustrating element of event planning. Our experts can help you find the perfect colors and accents to make your evening as special as you hoped it would be.

Transportation & Entertainment

Many events include limousine transportation, and/or live entertainment and/or a DJ. Corky’s can help you find the best for your event. Figuring out how many people go in each car and how many cars you need is a daunting task but our event planners are here to help.

Entertainment makes events into parties, bringing people out onto the dance floor and hands up in the air to cheer on the fun. Corky’s event planners have decades of experience finding the right entertainment for your event.

Planning & Execution

Writing out invitations and wrapping favors after your event is all planned makes it feel like the work will never end and the party will never happen. This is not a part of special event catering that anyone looks forward to very much.
