You may want to give your graduate a party that will be the highlight of his/her achievement, and a life time memory. Whether it’s a small or a large party, its success is in the planning. Here is what you will want to do to make your graduation party memorable.
Are you planning a large graduation party or a small dinner? What would your graduate want to do? It is important to have a budget in mind, but be prepared to make some changes as you do your planning something’s may cost more /less than you anticipated.
Location, Location Location- You need to decide if your are going to do it at home or if you are going to have a venue. I find that by doing it at home you may have more planning to do. You may need tent, tables, chairs, lighting just a few necessities. You may find it easier to book a venue, park lodge or even a hall that supplies all the tables, chairs and other items you may need to have a successful graduation party. I have seen families with graduates that have been close through school share the expense and do graduation parties together since most of the guest would be the same.
Menu – You have all kinds of catering options. You may higher a full service cater like Madeline’s Catering to take care of your entire event or you may want to or do something as simple as picking up trays at your local grocer or deli.
Get some help for party day-If you can not hire a full service caterer like Madeline’s catering you may want to ask some friends or family to help you with the preparation and picking up of items you have ordered. It is important that you enjoy the day along with your graduate and not feel like you missed the graduation party because you where to busy in the kitchen and with clean up. Another way to enjoy your event would be to see if a local caterer has some staff you can hire to help with the event. You can even buy a few items from the caterer that the staff person could bring along with them. This way you have someone helping with bringing food items you have ordered and a professional person helping you with your event.

The party will feature a gourmet meal prepared by Chefs Madeline and Rich Neville of Madeline’s Catering. Enjoy live music, tours of the facility, and a cash bar. We promise you another artfully romantic evening that will be remembered for years to come.

I recently had a great experience doing corporate Catering in Rochester NY.
Corporate catering can be more than just sandwiches, as I have found out by doing a nice hot luncheon. After returning to pick up the equipment from the luncheon, one of the guests chased me down and handed me a napkin with her name and phone number. She was thrilled with the lunch and said “I have no expectations for a corporate luncheon and this was more than I expected . Are you available this weekend?”. That was a nice complement to hear about what we had done and what we always do .
