A Graduation Feast That Passes With Flying Colors

Although cap-and-gown season still may be more than two months away, like all momentous events, graduation parties have been the topic of conversations all year long. Often the drawing of big crowds and even bigger appetites, graduation parties long have relied on the services of A Catered Experience to take care of all its food-related needs.

“As joyous of an occasion graduation parties are, they can be a ton of work to plan and execute,” says general manager Ron Hattori. “With our level of expertise, we are capable and eager to take away the stress of it all, so that the host and attendees can enjoy the party worry-free.”

As the exclusive caterer for Hawaii Okinawa Center, A Catered Experience is in constant demand for its dedication to customer service and providing flavorful, well-rounded buffet menus.

“Right now, what is really taking off is our off-premise catering service,” says Hattori. “We will deliver the food to any venue or residence and help with all aspects of the process, including putting together tables, assisting with cooking equipment and stowing away back-up food.”
