Casual Service Casual service orders are delivered right to your meeting room and are served with disposable ware and tablecloths. We will return after your event to pick up any leftover foods and catering supplies. An attendant can be provided upon request. Service of hot foods may require an attendant at a charge of $0.00/hour, minimum of three hours.
Formal Service Formal service orders are served with china, glassware, linen and table skirting. Fully customized receptions with special menus, floral arrangements and table displays can be arranged with our Catering Coordinator.
Life U Catering appreciates the opportunity to work with you to plan a successful event. These menus represent our traditional offerings, but our skilled staff and chefs can also create custom menus and environments for your special occasions.
