Thank you for inquiring about Glass House Catering! We work with all types of events from
departmental and corporate meetings to weddings and donor dinners. We feature a broad
range of seasonal menu items, designed to indulge the diverse tastes in the area. Our
enthusiastic, service-oriented team brings passion to the table and provides gracious, genuine
hospitality to all guests.
Fresh Local Flavor
What sets us apart from other caterers? Plenty, but here’s a good place to start. We purchase
goods from local farmers and suppliers whenever possible. This is a core practice that has been
at the center of our culinary and business philosophies. We do this for several reasons:
Our guests experience the freshest ingredients possible.
The relationships we build with other local businesses help strengthen our
community.
We want to help protect our environment. Buying locally means that goods
have less distance to travel, cutting back on greenhouse gas emissions and
reducing the volume of packing material needed.
We fulfill this mission while at the same time keeping our prices as low as possible. We pride
ourselves on giving you the personal attention you deserve to ensure your event is a success
while staying within your budget.
