Corporate Events Are Our Bread & Butter
A La Carte Events & Catering - Your Corporate Catering Partner in Houston, TX
What Type of Corporate Event Are You Planning?
Although corporate events look similar to private events on the surface, corporate planners have different needs and goals. At A La Carte Events & Catering, we understand what's important to you.
Sure, you require flavorful food with impeccable service, and it needs to be on time, and on budget. But more than that, we bring a creative eye for marketing to the table. Expect us to:
- Add your logo to the buffet cards,
- Match your linens and florals to be on-brand, and
- Tailor your menu to accommodate your guests' needs and brand.
Many of our corporate clients reside outside of Texas and never even attend their Houston events. We're the preferred event partner for high-end retailers across the city, including The Galleria, Highland Village, The Woodlands, Cinco Ranch & Sugarland. We also provide extras to help you host a smashingly successful event.
Retailers are just one part of our corporate event mix. PRCI, blue-chip law firms, experiential marketers, not to mention businesses of all sizes.
So What Type of Corporate Events Are You Planning?
The term "corporate catering" covers a lot of different territory, but corporate planners have the same needs from their caterer:
- Reliable performance,
- Consistently delicious food, and
- Respect for your budget.
Approximately 50% of A La Carte Events & Catering's events are corporate, and many of those are for existing clients. Planning a ground-breaking ceremony for a new hospital? Been there. Need to entertain your best clients at a luxury retail event? Done that, quite a few times actually. Looking for full-day conference catering for 200? Yep, our corporate catering company in Houston, Texas, has got you covered. (BTW, pipeline engineers love Cookies & Cream Chex Mix.)
So let's dive into the type of event you're planning:
CONFERENCE
& MEETINGS
From piping hot coffee first thing in the morning to evening hors d' oeuvres, we can help you plan - and execute - the entire event, whether you're in Houston or not.
Whether you just need food, or the entire setup, including A/V equipment, we can handle it.
And don't worry about the extensive menu requirements you have to deal with, we'll help you satisfy your vegans, gluten frees, dairy frees, and allergies.
SPECIAL
EVENTS
Your company or client wants to host an event. Sometimes it's to celebrate a milestone or grand opening, or a designer meet & greet for your best clients, sometimes it's a roll-out of this year's new models, or fully interactive brand building experience, or just a product activation.
Let us guide you through the entire process, from hunting down the perfect unlicensed venue to receiving your marketing materials in advance so you have one less thing to deal with. Our goal is to make your special event easy for you.

Large-Scale Brand Activation Event
A La Carte Events & Catering has worked with Legacy Marketing Partners several times to host the Jameson Bartenders' Ball in Houston. After outgrowing the original location, Heights Theater, with 150 guests, we moved to Silver Street Studios and grew the event to 1,500 guests.
Our part included custom food pairings, site scouting, sourcing security, rentals and specialty rentals, A/V and staging, branded disposables, all mixers and thousands of pounds of ice. Of course, we also provided TABC-certified bartenders, servers and staff to help before, during and after the event.
We're happy to be in the background making things happen for you.
Intimate Board Dinner
When the CEO an international conglomerate was in town for OTC, the local division president hosted him in his Sugarland residence.
Concessionaire Services - Festival Management
Houston's Mac & Cheese Fest has grown to 2,500 attendees and 40+ competitors. A La Carte staffs all of the bar and floor service people, manages the participants needs, and provides rentals and disposables for the entire event.
All of our clients receive:
One-Stop-Shopping
From complimentary site scouting to ordering branded cocktail napkins and coordinating the valet, we've got you covered.
