Houston's graduation season (May–June) fills up quickly — reach out early to secure your date. **Can you cater a graduation party at my home in Houston?** Absolutely. We come to you — whether it's a River Oaks estate, a West University backyard, a Memorial home, or any residence in Greater Houston. We set up, cook, serve, and clean up completely. Your only job is to celebrate your graduate. **What's included in the graduation catering service fee?** The service fee covers Chef Ana and her team, all cooking equipment, full on-site service, and complete cleanup. Groceries are billed separately at exact receipt cost — no markup, ever. You'll receive a clear grocery estimate before confirming the booking. **Can you accommodate dietary restrictions at a graduation party?** Yes — every menu is designed from scratch around your guest list. We regularly accommodate gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, keto, halal, and food allergy requirements within the same event. No guest gets the 'special plate' — everyone eats from the same level of quality. **What types of graduation parties do you cater?** We cater high school and college graduation parties, graduate school celebrations, and combined family milestone events. Whether it's an elegant plated dinner for 25 or a festive buffet spread for 80, we design the menu and format around your vision and guest count. **Do you handle venue coordination for graduation events?** We work at your chosen location — home, backyard, rented hall, or event venue across Houston. If you're using a venue with an in-house catering team, we coordinate directly with them. We handle all food-side logistics so you can focus on the celebration. **Can the menu reflect the graduate's favorite foods or cultural traditions?** That's exactly how we approach it. Every menu is built from scratch around your graduate — their favorite cuisines, family food traditions, and the atmosphere you want to create. Nothing is taken off a standard menu sheet. **What is the minimum guest count for graduation catering?** Our graduation catering service starts at 20 guests. For smaller intimate celebrations under 20, our private chef service is a better fit — Chef Ana cooks and serves exclusively for your table, starting at $2,000 + groceries. ## Tell Me About Your Household Fill out the form and I'll send a personalized proposal within 24 hours.
