Owned and operated by Bite Catering Couture—a chef-led, woman-owned team—440 Elm offers a hospitality culture built around creative alignment. Here, food isn’t just service—it’s part of the story. Multi-course plated dinners timed to awards programs. Tasting stations styled as visual centerpieces. Cocktails built around brand palettes. Every program is designed in context: for the guests, for the format, for the moment. And if your sky’s-the-limit theme turns into glowing angels suspended above the crowd—well, so be it. We’ve made room for it in the run of show. (see video below)
