OUR STORY
Founded in 1997, In Thyme Catered Events was built on a simple but powerful idea:
Exceptional hospitality should travel.
What began as a passion for food and guest experience has grown into one of the region’s most trusted, off-premises catering partners. Whether a corporate boardroom, a convention center floor, or a private celebration, from the beginning, In Thyme has prioritized relationships, consistency, and a deep understanding of how events actually function behind the scenes.
Over nearly three decades, we have scaled our business from smaller social gatherings to include executing complex, high-volume events with precision, all while maintaining the warm, hospitality-first approach for which we've become known. This balance of operational discipline paired with genuine care for the guest experience, has become the foundation of our brand, empowering our team to scale from intimate gatherings to large-scale activations without losing the personal touch.
Today, In Thyme Catered Events continues to grow with intention, expanding its venue partnerships, refining its culinary offerings, and investing in systems that elevate both client and guest experiences.
With a strong commitment to sustainability, community impact, and food rescue initiatives, we are focused not only on where we're going but how we get there. Every event is approached as an opportunity to create something meaningful, memorable, and unmistakably “In Thyme.”
