Welcome to Elegantly Casual Cuisine,
where we believe that your event should be just that: no stress, only as much work as you want to put in for yourself, and in the end, as enjoyable for you as it is for your guests. Want it to look like you slaved for hours? We’ll drop it off or put it on your own platters before you begin. Not looking forward to doing dishes? We’ll deliver on beautiful one-use trays, with back-ups ready to go. Don’t want to lift a finger? We’ll do it all for you! But, while we are casual in our approach, make no mistake in knowing that every last detail will be what you are hoping for.

Heidi Vanderwal, owner of Elegantly Casual Cuisine, comes to you with years of party planning experience. From long time food server, to small party caterer, and then Manhattan events director, she has the practical knowledge and creativity needed to ensure your function goes off beautifully and without a hitch. A firm believer in using only the finest quality (locally sourced when possible) ingredients, Heidi will work with you to create the event of your dreams.

We hope that the following pages [coming soon] help you to narrow down the possibilities for your soiree – but if not, let us know. We’re here to help, and these menus are guidelines, not an end-all. Thanks for taking the time to consider Elegantly Casual Cuisine – we look forward to your amazing event!!
