Heavy Appetizers
Heavy appetizer menus are great for both large and small parties. These menus add flexibility and diversity. Since the menu is all finger-foods, it is a good way to keep your guests mingling. Heavy appetizer parties are perfect for after work get-togethers, birthday parties, budget-friendly weddings, wine or beer tastings, and any event that calls for something new!
Allow Serendipity to design a versatile heavy appetizer menu for any upcoming event
Can’t decide between chicken satay or pulled pork sliders? Have both! A heavy appetizer menu allows room for an assortment of culinary delights. If there are guests attending your event that have specific dietary requirements or diverse taste, a heavy appetizer party is always a real crowd pleaser.
“I couldn’t have done it without the capable, wonderful employees of Serendipity. Every one of them goes way beyond the call of duty. Whether it is taking another cocktail to a guest, laying out extra appetizers, whatever needs to be done. The kitchen is always cleaned better then they found it, the area is placed back where it was when they came! They can visit with the guests on a variety of subjects in an intelligent manner and make every guest feel comfortable and well attended to.
My guests have complimented me on the service Serendipity has provided, and I hope they have taken advantage of you services when they needed the level of care you provide.
Thank you to your crew and especially the ones who have helped me to look so good!”
