Everyone loves a charcuterie board.
Whether you're opting for a laid-back celebration with Flora's Taco Cart or a fully catered Italian feast from Coppa Osteria, there are diverse options for both food and service that check all the boxes.
“A catering service felt like a natural expansion for our business” says Grace Zelaya, catering and private dining director for The Frida Room at Flora Mexican Kitchen. “Our clientele has been waiting in anticipation since we opened Coppa Osteria a decade ago. We’re excited to bring the big vibes to venues across Houston.”
Hungry now? Here's what you need to know about catering from The Big Vibe Group's restaurants:
Types of events: Everything! We're talking daily corporate events, intimate home dining, large gatherings, or entire wedding weekends that encompass pre-wedding showers, welcome dinners, rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, late-night after-parties, and day-after brunches.
Tiers of catering:
- Full service: BVG prepares and serves the meals onsite with clean-up after.
- Food delivery: BVG drops off fully prepared (or easily reheated) meals within a two-hour window, and you handle clean-up yourself. Minimum of $1,500 required, and a gas fee applies to deliveries outside the service area.
- Food pick-up: You pick up the food yourself within a one-hour window and then take care of everything else yourself. No minimum required for pick-up.
What's always included with full service:
- Basic staffing
- Food set-up and service
- Serving vessels and utensils is needed
- Disposable plates, flatware, cups, and napkins
- Top-notch cuisine
What you can add on:
- Custom menu consultation, including food allergies and preferences
- Bespoke buffets and stations
- Rental coordination for chairs, tables, linens, flatware, china, glassware, etc.
- Beverage service and specialty service staff (bartending, cocktailing, bussing)
- Entertainment coordination, including dancers, DJs, and even a Spanish guitarist
- Valet and security
- Custom signage, photo booth, florals, décor, and more
Menu options:
Flora Mexican Kitchen prepares all its meals at the restaurant, and there is a Taco Cart available to rent if you want a little extra flair.
Queso, guacamole, and chips can of course start the meal, but you can also opt for passed apps like taquitos, chalupitas, and sopecitos.
Three salad options further whet appetites, with main entrees that range from quesadillas and enchiladas to grilled snapper, brick chicken, and Flora's Parrillada, a chef's selection of seafood and meats that get rounded out with homemade tortillas and salsa.
Don't forget crispy potatoes or escabeche on the side, and flan or tres leches cake for dessert. Beverage packages — both alcoholic and non — are also available.
Coppa Osteria, Graffiti Raw, and Gratify Neighborhood Bistro can all come to you. Start with mushroom arancini, mini crab cakes, or deviled eggs, then it's on to salads and charcuterie.
When it's pasta time, good luck choosing just a few. From the famous spaghetti carbonara to short rib ragu, Parmesan rigatoni to to penne a la Coppa, it's a carb-lover's dream.
Mains span grilled fish, veal scallopini piccata, beef tenderloin, and Gratify sliders for the more casual parties. If you're feeling extra fancy, you can even order caviar and chips.
And these are just starting points — remember, you can fully customize your menu to include (almost) whatever you wish. Contact The Big Vibe Group today to get started planning your celebration.
