Bay Area Private Event Catering
Let’s Create a Memorable Experience
What makes a gathering truly special? At Smashing Dishes, it begins with a vision: your vision. Your ideas, your design style, your dietary preferences and service requirements. From there, we bring it all together to create a one-of-a-kind event. Whether you’re transforming your backyard into an 80’s dance party or inspiring hundreds to donate to a worthy cause, we have the experience to bring your vision to life.
Start Planning-
Hosting Made Simple
You already have a lot to do, and now you’re planning an event. Between figuring out a vegan grazing table menu and sending the invites, we know planning can start to feel like, well, a lot. That’s where we come in. We can stick to the food if you like, including special dietary needs, or we can take everything off your proverbial plate and handle décor, entertainment, and custom menus. We can coordinate it all so you can focus on what matters most: your guests.

Anti “Catering”
Imagine the restaurant of your dreams. You curated the menu, cocktails, service style, and vibe—and people love it. Your staff are professional, polite, and personable. In fact, you don’t have to do a thing but relax and enjoy your guests. That’s a Smashing Dishes experience.

Design Shapes Experience
How do you want your guests to feel when they walk in? Welcomed or inspired? Excited or relaxed? Our event designers will create the unique experience that you want at your home or venue. When we’re done, you may not recognize your own backyard anymore.
