Eco Caters takes care of corporate lunch meetings at The Mill in Santa Monica

When you are thinking of catering for a lunch meeting, it does not have to be the same unhealthy options you get with most Los Angeles Catering companies. You can have fresh and organic catering and still be reasonably priced.

Our Los Angeles Catering division caters lunch meetings at The Mill in Santa Monica. Their staff meet every other week for four straight days. They want a healthy menu, something that would not make them fall asleep in the afternoon. Everyday we put the menu together for them of fresh organic proteins, salads and fruit. One of our staff appears to fully set up their buffet and remains onsite. At the end of the meal, this staff member does all the clean up so you don’t have to. This is for a small fee, but well worth it. Next time you are looking for a catered corporate lunch that is easy to order, fresh and organic, contact Eco Caters.

Eco Caters is called upon by the US Coast Guard to cater a picturesque wedding at Point Vicente Lighthouse in Palos Verdes

Standing on the most southwesterly point of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Point Vicente Lighthouse has long been one of this area’s jewels. To the landsman, the lighthouse is scenic delight and continual attraction to sightseers, tourists, photographers and painters. To the mariner, the lighthouse is an aid to navigation which marks the northern end of the Catalina Channel on the Pacific coast. It helps him plot his position and warns him to avoid the rocky schoals which surround the nearby shore and, in a heavy fog, its horn will warn him if he gets too close to the dangerous shore. The grounds and lighthouse are normally closed to the public. However, the tower and a small museum are open the second Saturday of month between the hours of 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Admission is free. Children under 7 are not allowed in the tower and pets are not allowed on the Coast Guard grounds.

This day could not have been more beautiful. The ceremony took place on the grounds as well as the reception. It was an elegant, yet simple affair with organic catering stationary hors d’oeuvres of Chef’s Choice Cheese Display with Market Fruit and Preserves Thai Chicken Skewers with Coconut Ranch and our Mezze Platter. Servers tray passed Turkey Sliders with Apricot, Apple, Arugula, & House Mustard, Veggie Sliders, Beef Wellingtons with Smoked Ketchup & Apricot Mustard, additionally Roasted Tomato Crostini with Bagna Cauda and Cucumber Cups with Mango, Chili & Preserve Lemon. This refreshing menu coupled with the crisp breeze made for a delightful day wedding for our Los Angeles Catering staff.
