Calla Catering & Events

Kim Livesey, Event Director, and Francesco Oggiano, Executive Chef, co-founded Calla Catering and Events LLC, which has just rebranded. Kim and Francesco first met in 2014 at an event where Kim (at the time, a New England destination wedding planner) engaged Deja Blu Catering to cater one of her clients' events. Francesco served as the event's lead chef for Deja Blue. Francesco told the owner of Deja Blu Catering that the wedding planner he worked with on site was fantastic and helped with a smooth event implementation. (He had reservations about wedding planners)! Deja Blu Catering's owner was searching for a partner to train on how to operate her day-to-day operations, assist with client communication, create proposals, and offer an in-house day-of coordination planning package option for stress-free events when she came across this opportunity. During the summer of 2017, the owner of Deja Blu Catering became ill and was unable to continue with her business. Francesco and Kim realized they'd make a fantastic team, so they founded the NEW Calla Catering and Events LLC, with their first event on November 4, 2017. Calla is Greek for "beautiful," and we believe we cater the most gorgeous occasions! We altered our business by focusing on the freshest ingredients, high-quality products, great service, additional value, and a service that was not just a modern take on the classics, but also focused on what we call "simple tasty bites!" Bites that your visitors will talk about for years to come! ​ Our Approach We are quite proud of the high quality of the service we give. To ensure that we can focus on each and every client's demands, Calla Catering and Events LLC only takes 1-3 events every weekend and 1-2 events throughout the week. Chef Francesco personally picks each vegetable, meat, fish, and produce from several marketplaces to ensure the freshest and highest quality products! Our senior chef is in charge of seasoning all menu items, ensuring a high level of consistency for our customers!
