OUR HISTORYIt was over two decades ago when Food Trends was founded by a European father-daughter team. Having grown up hosting friends and family around the dinner table, it was inevitable that they dreamed of starting a business doing what they knew best. What began as a vision of a family business has now expanded onto its third generation and is proud to be Certified Woman Owned & Operated.

OUR APPROACHWhether an intimate dinner or a large formal affair, our events team treats each bride and groom as if they are family – only offering the best. We are inspired by the senses – taste, vision, scent and texture. We will take your vision and craft a menu to make your event come to life, leaving your guests marveled by our flavors and creativity. Let us guide you in the steps of planning the event from not only the menu but to our custom décor, staffing and rentals!
