We beautifully decorate our holiday buffets as warm, tradition-rich set pieces representing a bygone, Norman Rockwell-style era.

We create holiday magic with custom linens, grapevine wreaths, Christmas trees & reindeer, gaily wrapped presents, rosy cheeked Santas, stockings filled with old-fashioned candies and other touches of whimsy. Each buffet will have a menu prominently displayed in a gilded frame.
