About
Family Party Catering is a small hospitality group based in Brooklyn, NY. We specialize in intimately catered events, culinary management, and craft service for independent films.
Our style of catering is collaborative, casual, and fun. Thoughtful menus inspired by your family recipes, first dates, home-cooked meals, and snacks you ate as a kid. Our specialties are cheese, charcuterie, and BBQ; but we're willing to develop menus or dishes that are uniquely you. From cultural mash-ups like dashi brisket to burritos, grandpa's line-caught salmon, a congee bar, and moussaka on roti; we'll find a way to make the meal memorable. We're open to hybrid services and collaborating with local businesses or other caterers to make your vision happen. We can cater your baby shower, birthday, and anything that needs extra culinary care.
Our fees include event insurance, beer and wine permitting, staffing, and transport. We hold a certificate in Food Protection for the State of New York.
