Can you make something that isn’t on your menu?

In many cases, yes! Have a favorite family recipe, a blueberry pie you grew up with, or a dish you want to work into the menu? We’re happy to talk through it. Our chefs can recreate favorites or put their own spin on the flavors you love.

Do you make desserts and wedding cakes?

Yes. Our in-house pastry chefs can provide everything from individual dessert bites and cups to custom wedding cakes, including vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free options.

Do you offer tastings?

Yes. We offer tastings for weddings and select larger corporate events. You’ll sample your proposed menu, make any adjustments with the chefs, and talk through the final details with our team. For weddings, tastings are designed as more of a night out than a "planning meeting", with your menu served in our tasting room and a drink pairing included.

Do you offer bar service?

Yes. We offer full bar service for events where the venue allows it, including beer, wine, spirits, custom cocktails, spirit-free drinks, mixers, and licensed bartending staff. Because alcohol regulations vary by venue, we’ll confirm what’s permitted as part of planning your event.

Culinary Excellence

Menus

Great catering starts first and foremost with the food. At Dutzel’s, our menus feature New American and fusion cuisine with options for every eater, from comforting favorites to more adventurous flavors. Our produce is fresh, never frozen. Our sauces, dressings, and marinades are made in-house. For each custom menu, we start with dishes our chefs have perfected, then adjust the flavors and ingredients to your tastes.

Service Styles

Service style refers to how your guests are served. We offer almost every option: passed hors d’oeuvres, buffets, family-style meals, stations, plated service, or a combination of more than one. We’re happy to help you choose the best style for your menu and budget.

Passed Hors D’oeuvres

Keep guests fed and moving during cocktail hour, a reception, or before dinner with bite-sized hors d’oeuvres passed by our hospitality team. We can also offer displayed or plated hors d’oeuvres depending on the event.
Late Night Snacks

Served after dinner, late-night snacks give guests something warm and satisfying later in the evening. They’re typically offered as easy-to-grab bites or small portions that can be set out or passed while the party keeps going.

Dietary Needs? We’ve Got You.

We can make individual accommodations for allergies and dietary needs, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and halal options. Tell us what your guests need, and we’ll plan for it as part of the menu.
