Party Catering in Akron, Ohio

Birthdays, anniversaries, showers and family gatherings at your home or a rented room, with the food set up and styled so you can host.

Small rooms notice everything. Good.

A party is where the details show. A grazing table people photograph before they eat, a hot buffet that keeps moving, a taco bar for a crowd that wants to build their own plate, and a cake decorated to the theme from the same kitchen as the food. Rooms small enough that every guest notices are the rooms we like.

Every party menu is built to the headcount, the room and the budget per person. Bring the date and the occasion and we come back with a menu and a real number, then we deliver, set the display and clear so you are a host and not a caterer.

Charcuterie and appetizers start at $11 per person, lunch spreads at $13, dinner at $15 and dessert at $6.

Living rooms in Fairlawn Heights, party rooms in the Falls.

Akron parties happen at home first. The bungalows of Firestone Park and Goodyear Heights, the brick houses of West Akron and Fairlawn Heights, the newer subdivisions in Green, Copley and Stow, and the apartments downtown and in Highland Square each host a different kind of gathering, and the setup changes with the space. We size the table to the room you have.

When the house is too small, families rent. Church halls across the city, the party rooms at restaurants on Front Street in Cuyahoga Falls and along Route 18 in Montrose, and the ballrooms at Guy’s on East Waterloo and Todaro’s on Akron Peninsula Road are the rooms Akron rents. Summer moves outside, to decks, patios and the Portage Lakes.

Birthdays, anniversaries, bridal and baby showers and holiday gatherings each have their own page with the details. This is the place to start if you are not sure which you are planning.

What comes with it.

Grazing table or appetizers

For the standing hour, styled on your table rather than dropped in a tray.

Buffet, taco bar or hibachi

A hot line for the meal, sized to the room and the length of the party.

The cake

Decorated to the theme in house, with dessert cups and bars that travel around a party.

Set and clear

We deliver, set the display and clear afterward, so the host is in the room and not the kitchen.

This place offers ALL of your catering needs. I don't believe there is anything she can't provide for you. I have had SO many meals and attended SO many events. The Taste of the City (Akron) she provided so many great "samples". An outdoor hibachi grill party with all the trimmings, steak, shrimp, chicken, rice, fresh vegetables also one of my favorites. The taco bar and loaded potatoes are great for staff meetings. The seafood is always top quality, the largest shrimp! The desserts made from scratch are amazing. Cakes, cheesecakes, individual desserts, it doesn't end. Give them a try! Best prices around with professional service.

Before you book.

What size party can you cater?
From a dozen people in a living room to a few hundred in a rented hall. Small parties are a specialty, because that is where the styling shows. Tell us the headcount and the room and we size the menu.
Do you set up in a private home?
Yes. We bring the serving pieces, set the display on your table or counter, and clear when the party winds down. The request form asks about kitchen space and parking so the delivery goes smoothly.
Can the food and the cake match a party theme?
Yes. The cake is decorated in house to the theme, and the display, the dessert cups and even the menu can follow a color or an idea. Put the theme in the notes and we come back with suggestions.
How far ahead should a party be booked?
Two weeks is the minimum. Saturdays in May, June and December fill early across Akron, so send the date as soon as you have it and settle the menu later.

All nine questions

Two ways to start.

Know your date, headcount and menu direction? Send the short form and we will call you. Prefer to give us everything at once? Use the full catering request.
