STTP Catering offers a vast array of appetizers to create the perfect introduction to your Culinary Journey. This is a great option to elevate your cocktail hour or appetizer reception. It is important that all your wonderful food choices get to each guest. Offering Passed Bites is one way of ensuring that every guest is presented with each of your carefully curated selections. The extensive Passed Bites menu includes options for everyone’s dietary preferences, including our Signature Apricot-Glazed Meatballs, Wild Mushroom & Gruyere Tartlet, Southwest Chicken Empanadas, and our Signature Onion Puff Bites, which provide an exceptional experience your guests are sure to remember!
Grazing Stations are a great addition to your cocktail hour or appetizer reception. These stations are comprised of a variety of appetizers that create an exceptional visual display for your guests. A Grazing Station can be a few selections added in conjunction with Passed Bites for cocktail hour or amplified with additional appetizer selections to create a filling dining experience for your guests. Our Garden Station, a guest favorite, is our take on a traditional crudité station, adding in fabulous dips and spreads, freshly baked focaccia, and an elevated assortment of seasonal vegetables. Grazing Stations like these create moments for your guests that feel both nostalgic and elevated.
We firmly believe that a buffet, no matter the occasion, should have an exceptional presentation. By elevating the buffet to include décor to match your event theme, beautiful food, curated platters, and risers, the guests’ experience throughout the event is also elevated. Our attentive service staff will ensure each guest is served with a smile.
We love Action Stations and your guests will too! This is a popular, fun, and entertaining way for our chefs to prepare foods in front of the guests. Combine several action stations to create a fun and interactive reception or finish the night with one of our Late Night Action Stations to keep the party going! Some of our favorites include Street Tacos with amazing toppings, Craft Sliders, Customizable Pasta Bars, Late Night Donuts from our donut machine, our Hanging Cannoli Station, Freshly-Made Crepes, and more! And it doesn’t stop at food—Bloody Mary Stations, Mimosa Stations, and Sangria Stations are a huge hit. The possibilities of our Action Stations are almost endless!
If you are looking for a luxurious experience, then a plated meal should be our first conversation! Our comprehensive team will be onsite to offer your guests an exceptional dining experience. This multi-course meal is traditionally served as a salad first course, single or duet entrée main course, and a fabulous dessert finish. However, we love playing around with this traditional format, to include perhaps a soup course, intermezzo, fish course, or even a hand-selected wine paired with each course. Don’t just think a plated meal has to be a dinner, if you are hosting a formal board meeting or daytime gala, then a plated lunch would be an amazing choice for your service style.
The journey doesn’t stop at the food with us. Our extensive beverage service options will keep your guests going for your entire event. From a fabulous coffee station, or an iced coffee station for those hot Arizona summer days, to bartender services, we have you covered. Our bartenders come equipped with everything needed to provide exceptional service while pouring your alcohol. Not offering alcohol? Then let’s chat about our Mocktail Bar! Our Signature Honey Basil Lemonade, combined with our curated cocktail (or mocktail) menu will offer something for everyone!
