Holiday Party Catering NYC

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do you cater corporate holiday parties in NYC?  

  Yes. Food Trends provides full-service holiday party catering throughout New York City, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and surrounding areas — from intimate office gatherings to company-wide celebrations.

• How much does holiday party catering cost in NYC?  

  Holiday party catering starts at $30 per person and up, depending on the type of service — drop-off buffets, staffed receptions, chef stations, or plated dinners. Guest count, menu selections, staffing, and bar service all shape the final proposal, and we walk you through all costs upfront — no surprises.

• How far in advance should we book a December date?  

  As early as possible. December dates and popular NYC venues fill quickly, and many companies book in September and October. That said, we can often accommodate shorter timelines, so reach out even if your event is only a few weeks away.

• Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?  

  Absolutely. We design holiday menus that include vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, kosher-style, halal, and allergy-sensitive options, so every guest can enjoy the celebration.

• Do you provide staff and bar service?  

  Yes. We provide servers, bartenders, on-site chefs, and event captains based on the size and style of your event. Our licensed and insured bartenders can run full bar service, signature holiday cocktails, and zero-proof beverage stations.

• Can you cater at our office or an outside venue?  

  Both. We cater right in your office, and we also partner with many of NYC’s top event venues if you’d like to take the celebration offsite — browse our venue partners at foodtrends.com/venues. Either way, we handle the logistics: Certificates of Insurance, loading docks, security requirements, rentals, timelines, and setup.

• Can you help with rentals and décor?  

  Yes. We offer event design support, rentals, tablescapes, décor coordination, and food presentation styling to create a cohesive celebration.

• Do you cater holiday parties outside of Manhattan?  

  Yes. We cater holiday parties throughout the New York metro area, including Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Westchester, and northern New Jersey. Our team manages all venue logistics and insurance requirements regardless of location.
