About A La Carte Events & Catering

Founded in 2011

Full-service​ catering and event planning in Houston, TX specializing in fresh, made-from-scratch food. Save Time, Stress Less Save time & stress by merely picking your party theme and the type of cuisine you want to serve. Your A La Carte event planner will make sure every detail is handled, from icing down the beverages to booking the valet. Food Guests Rave About Your event is unique and we believe your menu should be, too. That includes custom specialty drinks, tailored menus, food & beverage pairings, personalized signage, and linens & florals to match your occasion. Be Pampered By working with a top Houston catering company, you get an event planner that takes care of you throughout the entire process. A La Carte's staff is trained to anticipate your guests' needs and will be there before they realize that they need a drink refill or simply another hors d' oeuvre. Don't Lift A Finger Neither the planning nor the execution of your event should require you to do anything. On the day of your event, we leave your space at least as clean (if not cleaner) than we find it. And for residential events, that means taking out the garbage and putting the leftovers away so you can enjoy them later. One Stop Event Services Shop A La Carte Events & Catering specializes in full-service catering and event planning in Houston, TX. We can handle as many, or as few, of the details as you wish. Your event is special, and our event planners get as excited as you do to make your vision real.

FAQs 8

Do you specialize in certain types of cuisine?
Here are the professional catering guidelines that we follow: 1 bartender per 75 for full bar, 1:100 for wine & beer; 1 server per 25 for passed hors d' oeuvres; 1 server per 16 for seated dinner, 1:24 for buffet; 1 chef per 100 (at least; depends on menu); & 1 captain per 200 guests.
Do you specialize in certain types of cuisine?
Yes, delicious! Although we cook mostly New American, our influences are global, much like the food of Houston, the US's most diverse city. We cater to foodies. That includes regional cuisines like Southern and Cajun, and sometimes you'll find Vietnamese, Venezuelan, Indian & other touches.
Do you offer catering options to accommodate special dietary needs?
At every event! Vegan wedding for 75? Done that. We cheerfully accommodate your guests' food restrictions, regardless of whether they're preferences or allergies. One of our events featured only orange & white food for an alumni gathering. Let's unleash the creativity for your event!
Do you offer bar or liquor packages?
Yes, and we love creating specialty cocktails like Maple Old Fashioneds with homemade Cinnamon-Cardamom bitters. Bar options include basic beer and wine on up to premium liquor packages with specialty ice and imported garnishes. We work with you to help you get the most value out of your budget.
What menu customization options do you offer?
Your menu is 100% customizable. The food is made from scratch, so why not make it special? First, your planner books a discovery call to learn all about your event & then meets with our executive chef to build a menu based on your desires. Then we make suggestions until you think it's perfect!
