Holiday Party Catering in Miami
Whether you are hosting the office holiday party or Christmas dinner for the family at home, the catering decides how the evening feels. This guide from Lavish Gastronomy Privé covers the formats that work best in Miami, festive menu ideas, when to book and what your quote should include.
Office party or dinner at home: pick the format first
- Office holiday party: passed canapés and savoury bites for mingling, or a seated chef-plated dinner for the team.
- Client appreciation evening: a smaller seated dinner where the menu and service carry the message.
- Christmas dinner at home: a private chef cooks and serves a multi-course menu in your kitchen, so you can sit with your guests.
- Christmas on a yacht or at a villa: dinner planned around the galley or kitchen on site.
Festive menu ideas
A holiday menu should feel generous without being heavy in the Miami warmth. Our seasonal menus combine French technique with local produce: canapés to open, a plated appetizer, an optional middle course of risotto, pasta or fish, a choice of fish or meat mains, and classic desserts such as a Bûche de Noël for Christmas.
