What if I don’t see what I am looking for on your menu?

We aren’t called Off the Cuff for no reason! We love a challenge and enjoy working with you on specialized menu offerings to ensure your event is exactly how you picture it.

Do you have tents, flatware, dinnerware, a bar, etc.?

We don’t provide these items, but we have close business relationships with local vendors that provide them. We are happy to help coordinate these offerings for your event.

We do offer acrylic plates and flatware that are available to purchase; these are an elegant, disposable option for any event. We also offer disposable paper products for any event.
