Classic Favorites
Keep things truly timeless with a selection of dishes that everyone can enjoy. Our favorite classic? Sliders. We take the traditional mini burger and make our own twist to it, elevating it to a more creative option. With Sterling Catering, classic wedding catering never means boring.
Fresh Fruit & Vegetables
Hand-selected fruits and vegetables are great to offer for a variety of dietary needs. Guests who are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free will appreciate the thoughtfulness of a skewer medley. Fruits and vegetables are great to snack on and are light enough to balance out a heavier entree, leaving your guests ready to hit the dance floor!
Light Meats & Seafood
Adding a selection of meats and seafood will stave off the post-ceremony lag. We love to spice up the classic charcuterie with novel pairings. Sterling Catering offers a variety of meat-based hors d’oeuvres that’s sure to please all your guests!
Comfort Food
Craving delectable comfort? Again, our chefs provide an exciting take on the original comfort food. We put our own spin on the familiar, nostalgic flavors of everyone’s favorite comfort foods to create something fresh and exciting.
Crostini
Crostini or “little crust,” in Italian, is endlessly customizable! The base is a small, toasted baguette slice topped with an array of meats, cheeses, or other delicious garnishes. A crostini is an opportunity to really let a discerning taste shine. At Sterling Catering, we love an elevated palette; that’s why we have created multiple crostini options featuring unique, exciting, and unexpected flavor profiles.
Anything but boring! Showcase Your Taste with Hors D’oeuvres
