Culinary Service Styles
Tray-Passed
A convenient bite passed to your guests by our servers. Perfect for warm hors d’oeuvre and detailed presentations, this style of service works well at mingling events. Tray-passing is a nice way to welcome guests to an evening of dining and entertainment with hors d’oeuvre or to thank them for attending with a sweet send-off.
Stationary Display
Typically presented on a centrally located table, the stationary display is an attractive culinary arrangement for your guests to choose from at their leisure. Unobtrusive and simple, the stationary display works well for a small group, or combined with tray-passing for a larger group or extended cocktail event.
Stations / Kiosks
Steward-attended food stations prepare plates to order and present them to your guests. This style affords a personalized service to your guests while maximizing the social energy and movement of the group. Additionally, the station setup allows us to control food quantity and presentation in a comfortable way. This style of service is very versatile and works beautifully for a wide variety of events and special occasions.
Club Plates
A unique style of culinary service designed by Convivial Catering, club plates combine the strengths of both tray-passing and station service. Plates are created in the kitchen and butler-passed, requiring no set-up in the event space and allowing guests to enjoy a plated nosh wherever they are sitting, lounging or standing. This style of service tends to be more cost effective than station service, plus it is unique.
Seated
Classic and elegant, this is the most service-driven style of culinary service. Courses are prepared and plated in the kitchen, then delivered to each of your seated guests by a coordinated team of butlers. Seated service is very personal, making it a favorite for more formal affairs.
Station / Seated
This style of service combines a served first course, then station service, which offers the guests more variety of culinary creations and then completes with a served dessert or a cheese course and then dessert.

Delicious food and very well presented!

Capriciousness in Jeff's preparation and servisse
We used Convivial to cater our wedding last month. One of the most important components of planning our wedding was to make sure we served delicious food to our guests. We spent a lot of time researching and came across Convivial. In the initial phase, we really loved the whimsy that Chef Jeff displayed when helping us plan the menu.

I would recommend Conviviel Catering for the food and especially for the servisse
Jeff is great to work with. I was in a tough situation with my wedding, 3 weeks before the date I was notified that my caterer wouldn't be able to do it. He came to my rescue, was so efficient and on top of all the details. He is very accessible, text, email, phone, whatever your pleasure.

Jeff has a lot of experience, our wedding was wonderful!
Jeff with Convivial Catering was amazing! We hired his catering company for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with Jeff and his services! Jeff seems to have a great deal of experience, which was incredibly helpful when we sat down with him to go over our meal ideas. He was able to provide some suggestions and insight (though he wasn't pushy at all) that we hadn't even thought about.
