Cocktail Parties and Happy Hours
Organizing a corporate happy hour or a private cocktail party can be the best way to connect with clients, celebrate success, or to simply gather all of your team members in a friendly environment. We understand that it’s not easy to organize such an event when you have a busy crowd, strict schedules, and different types of orders going all at once. At Savory Catering, we make casual mixers and elegant receptions smooth and deliver freshly made hors d'oeuvres, impressive appetizers, and bartending services directly to office lobbies, corporate locations, or private events in North Texas.
Savory Catering has more than twenty years of experience with cocktail party planning in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We take care of everything in the process of organizing a catered cocktail party. Our crew handles the logistics for you, ensuring early deliveries, preparing beautiful bar and food stations, serving delicious small bites, and cleaning up after the party ends. It’s your party, relax and enjoy!
Customized DFW Happy Hour Services for All Your Corporate & Private Events
Every cocktail gathering or after-hours event is unique. An informal Friday afternoon social hour at an office in the Plano business district demands a completely different approach from a boardroom event in Downtown Dallas or a client appreciation event in Fort Worth. Our catering services are customized according to your needs and number of people attending.
If you are hosting an event for a large corporate group, we set up large platter stations of appetizers and finger foods where people can get their food quickly and easily, without having to stand around in line. If you want a more upscale experience, our server staff directly delivers small appetizers on trays around the party to all guests.
High-End Cocktail Hours for Weddings & Luxury Galas
For more elegant milestone celebrations, black-tie affairs, or weddings, everyone knows it’s the cocktail hour that makes all the difference in how the event will be perceived from start to finish. It’s our specialty to provide a sophisticated style of food service which combines the artistry of great food with the best in guest service.
From-Scratch Menus & Interactive Food Stations for DFW Parties
The party menu shouldn't be bland, but something that will make everyone remember your celebration. All the food that you see on the table is from scratch cooking using our premium-quality meats, vegetables, and produce. Our team of chefs has expertise in preparing high-end and delicious finger food items, along with interactive food displays.
Instead of standard party trays, you can keep your guests engaged with lively, self-serve concepts like our popular mini street taco station with fresh salsa bars, artisanal avocado toast and bruschetta stations, or our chef-attended prime rib carving displays. For evening receptions, we serve handheld savory favorites like bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin skewers, gourmet sliders, and artfully arranged charcuterie boards. For an event finish, we set out elegant dessert displays overflowing with miniature pastries, rich bites, and sweet treats!
DFW Full Event Setup, Execution, & Bar Services
An exceptional cocktail party needs reliable staff backstage so you don’t have to be the host and waiter. With our catering services, the Savory team comes to your venue ahead of time to unload the truck with the display platters and stainless steel chafing dishes well in advance of the start of your event.
Throughout your party, our team is responsible for food replenishment and food safety. You won’t have to think about the shortage of napkins, toothpicks, or serving platters since we deliver everything you will need. Additionally, we can provide our professional TABC bartenders who serve craft beers, wines, and cocktails. Don’t worry about the clean-up, we’ll take care of that as well.
