Rehearsal dinner catering in Houston

Rehearsal dinner catering in Houston works best with smaller menus and passed bites, so the family can visit instead of waiting in line. We handle bridal showers and baby showers the same way. Menu and price are in writing.

Planning a rehearsal dinner or shower

  • Pick a guest count, often 20 to 60
  • Choose passed bites, a buffet or a plated meal
  • Think about a short toast time
  • Tell us about allergies
  • Plan a drink table or bar
  • Ask about rentals
  • Add a dessert or cake cutting
  • Book a few weeks ahead

Food must come from a permitted kitchen, and bartenders should hold TABC seller-server certification.
