Make Your Next Event Simply Divine

Creative Services

By Jan Phillips


“It’s all in the details” is a comment heard frequently. That’s especially true when you are holding a social gathering. It’s important that every aspect of the event runs smoothly, leaving your guests feeling special, your event site perfect, and of course, the food has to be spectacular. Sometimes this is more than an individual wants to tackle, and that’s where hiring a caterer might be the way to go.


Do you have a set menu and price list?


At Simply Divine Catering, we customize the menu for every event around the needs of our clients, and then we add personal touches to create an ambiance that sets the tone for the event. Price lists and a set menu would limit our creativity and the ability to meet the needs of every client. It is important to us that the job we do is beyond their expectations. By limiting our large jobs to one per day, we are able to make each event unique and extraordinarily beautiful.  We use candles, flowers, and natural items to create color, texture and dimension with our table settings and room décor. Catering is not just about the food, all the client’s needs are met. Because each client is an individual, our events must be original, and set menus and prices wouldn’t allow us the freedom to create an unforgettable experience. Our goal is not only to cater an affair, but create an event.


Who runs the event?


As the owner of Simply Divine, I am on-site at the actual event to oversee the decorations and tablescapes, adding personal touches as needed. Since Simply Divine is a full service caterer, we bring everything needed to make each occasion special, including the flowers and I like to be there to make sure everything runs smoothly. More importantly, my staff and I are enthusiastic about each and every job.


How can I taste your food?


Come on over to Simply Divine Café! We cook fresh, familiar food with a twist.  Our new menu includes filling breakfasts, complete with traditional Southern cornbread, baked beans, and fabulous homefries, which are a mixture of flavorful Yukon Gold potatoes and sweet potatoes. Home-grown herbs are used to brighten and flavor every dish. Our drop-off service supplies lunch for several corporate clients and local schools. The phone rings all morning with our clients calling to inquire about our daily lunch specials.  The menu evolves with the seasons, enabling us to use the freshest ingredients possible.


Is there any job too big?


Recently, I was asked to prepare a month’s worth of meals to 850 soldiers at Otis Air Force Base with 48 hours notice.  I took the job, fed the soldiers and everyone was happy. My staff is exceptionally professional, and it was important to all of us that the job was done well. So many of the soldiers thanked us for our efforts and the delicious food; it was quite rewarding.  Not all my jobs are that large, thank goodness! Every situation is different, so I take the time to find out exactly what my clients want so they can decide what’s best for them.


Would you like your next event to be unique
, memorable and spectacular?
