Presented by the International Caterers Association (ICA), the CATIE Awards (Catered Arts Through Innovative Excellence) highlight caterers pushing the boundaries of flavor and design. We were thrilled to win Best Appetizer for our original dish, “In Nature: The Fall Crisp Salad.”

This autumn-inspired creation celebrated seasonal textures and flavors, artfully plated to capture the natural beauty of the changing seasons. Designed with elegance and balance in mind, the salad blended vibrant vegetables, delicate microgreens, and just the right hint of citrus and crunch. 

It was both a visual and culinary experience—one that embodied the thoughtful craftsmanship we aim to bring to every dish.

The ACE (Achievement in Catering Excellence) Awards recognize outstanding work in catered events, and this year we were honored in the Best Catered Micro Event category for our collaboration with the Illumination Foundation.

This event was all about intimacy, warmth, and purpose. With a smaller guest list, every detail mattered—every plate, every interaction, every decorative element had to be on point. 

Our team rose to the challenge with customized menus, personalized service, and a heartfelt approach that brought guests closer together while celebrating a worthy cause. It was an event that truly demonstrated the power of small-scale experiences to make a lasting impact.

In addition to our culinary and event execution awards, we were incredibly proud to receive an ACE Award for Product or Technological Innovation of the Year. 

This recognition speaks to our ongoing investment in advancing not just food, but the systems, tools, and technology that allow us to deliver better, faster, and smarter service to our clients.

From digital planning tools to sustainable service models, we’ve embraced innovation as a way to enhance every touchpoint of the catering experience. This award reflects our drive to stay ahead of the curve and find new ways to exceed expectations—both in the kitchen and behind the scenes.
