Styles, Service & Policy

Beautifully presented, professionally managed buffets designed to keep guests moving and food looking its best. We carefully replenish and refresh every dish throughout service, ensuring quality from the first plate to the last. Whether staffed for enhanced service and portion control or self-serve for a grand visual display, our buffets are tailored to provide an exceptional dining experience for events of any size.

Elegant, full-service dining featuring professionally served courses and attentive hospitality. Ideal for weddings, corporate events, and formal gatherings, our plated service ensures beautiful presentation, consistent portions, and a seamless guest experience from start to finish.

Create a memorable dining experience with chef-attended and self-serve stations. From carving boards and pasta bars to tacos and sliders, guests can customize their meals while enjoying a fun, social atmosphere. Perfect for receptions, parties, and special events. Many of our stations have action components where a chef will be cooking or assembling food.

Bring guests together with shared platters served directly to each table. Combining the elegance of plated service with the warmth of a shared meal, family-style dining creates a relaxed, interactive experience that’s perfect for weddings, reunions, and special gatherings.

 Many clients choose a hors d’oeuvres-only celebration thinking it will be more affordable than a traditional dinner—but that isn’t always the case.

During dinner hours (5–8 PM), guests naturally expect a meal. Hors d’oeuvres require more preparation, labor, and volume to satisfy guests, which can make them more costly than a buffet.

Hors d’oeuvres receptions are a great option for afternoon weddings (2–5 PM) or late evening events (8–11 PM) when a full dinner is not expected.

 High-quality catering delivered fresh, beautifully packaged, and ready to serve. Perfect for corporate lunches, family gatherings, and casual events, our drop-off service offers customizable menus with the convenience you need and the flavor you expect. 

To comply with Health Department food safety guidelines, we are unable to package leftover food that has been part of a buffet presentation.

We are happy to package any remaining food that has stayed properly maintained in our warming equipment or coolers and provide it to the client for their own use.

Please note, 1867 Artistic Catering Solutions cannot assume responsibility for food removed from buffet displays or handled by guests.

 If your baker provides the cake boxes, we are happy to package any remaining cake when we are hired to cut and serve the cake.

For food safety and quality reasons, we cannot take responsibility for cakes that were not cut, handled, or served by our team.
