Heavy appetizers are an easy way to have a party where all the food is displayed on a buffet. Your guests can mingle, eat and drink all night long. Have a variety of items so everyone will be able to find something to their liking.
Events a la Carte will supply the appetizers for your Chicago event and create a menu just for you. The sample menus are just to help you see what the price point for your event might be. Our suggestion is to print out the appetizer menus and highlight the items that interest you. We will then put a custom menu together based on your choices.
