PRIVATE EVENTS

Meticulous Planning, Attention to Detail & The Personal Touch

Whether you are hosting a small gathering for a few friends or an elaborate soirée for a large group, your event is important. You want to provide your guests with an enjoyable, memorable experience, while creating the minimum amount of work for yourself.

With customized planning, shopping, meal preparation, and service, Quintessencia can ensure your party is fun, successful, and stress-free – that it unfolds as a beautiful, seamless experience. From event design, wait staff, and floral arrangement to wine pairing, entertainment, and gourmet menus that match your event’s theme, we can provide all the services you require for a specially designed event that beautifully reflects your taste and style.

Events Done Right

Here’s how it works:

• Because the best events are personal, we closely collaborate with you to understand your vision for your party. During an in-person consultation, we review your venue, guest list, menu preferences, budget, and other details to ensure that your party will unfold seamlessly.
• Based on your direction, we will prepare a custom tailored proposal, including a personalized menu as well as all the services that will ensure your event is a success.
• On the day of your event, we can shop at the farmers market, butcher shop, seafood market, or wine shop or have food delivered through one of our partners – whatever it takes – to ensure you get the finest, freshest seasonal ingredients from the best sources.
• Using the freshest, high quality ingredients – organic, local produce and meats where possible – we prepare the menu items you have selected in your own kitchen or at your chosen venue.
• We create a unique, inviting, and fun atmosphere according to your personalized event plan.
• Your only job is to welcome your guests and enjoy their company in a convivial atmosphere.
• We meticulously clean our work area, leaving your kitchen even more spotless than when we arrived.
