Erika has enjoyed a very successful
career in catering planning and coordinating off-premise
events with chefs, bakers, florists, musicians, winemakers,
and the best wait staff. If you are a mover and shaker,
then most likely you have attended an event catered
by Erika. Clients have raved for years that she has
that perfect combination of style, experience, and
creativity mixed with a delightful sense of humor.
It is obvious that she enjoys meeting people and helping
them create memorable events.
