Full-Service Catering That Wows: We Don’t Just Deliver, We Design the Moment

Some events deserve more than just food on a table; they deserve an experience.

At Taste Buds Required, our full-service catering goes beyond delicious dishes. We bring bold Caribbean flavor and the professional polish that elevates your event from start to stunning. Whether you're planning a wedding, milestone birthday, or luxury brand event, we manage every detail so you can enjoy the moment.

The Essence of Full-Service Catering

Full-service means we don’t just drop off the food; we’re there to:

• Style your stations or grazing tables for visual impact

• Warm, plate, and pass food as needed (hello, chicken & waffles)

• Coordinate timing and flow with your planner or venue

• Provide staff for setup, replenishment, and breakdown

• Ensure your guests feel cared for and impressed

  
  

It’s catering with intention, from logistics to aesthetics.

Perfect for Every Occasion

✔️ Weddings and rehearsal dinners

✔️ Luxury birthday and retirement celebrations

✔️ Cultural milestone events (quinceañeras, bar/bat mitzvahs, baby dedications)

✔️ Corporate galas and brand activations

✔️ Styled experiences or immersive dining

If your event has a timeline, a vibe, and guests you need to wow, this is your service.

What’s Included in Full-Service Catering?

Every full-service event is custom, but most include:

• On-site chef and service staff

• Custom menu consultation + tasting

• Buffet, plated, passed apps, or hybrid service

• Rental coordination for chafers, platters, or tabletop decor
