Authentic Catering

Even though we are technically a new catering company, we have hit the ground running with a huge head start compared to most fledgling companies. The depth of our experience and relationships is the most important factor. Another great asset we have for our clients is our venue relationships. We are already handling in house catering for 5 great venues, with many more to come. My all time favorite as many of you know is the Electric Factory. Call us for a tour and to book a really cool party flavored with music. The Factory is most certainly an Authentic Philly venue.

What a great day yesterday was! Started with getting to announce to the launch of Authentic Catering, and the website and business card launch. Ended with a great event with ISES and getting to be the lucky moderator for a stellar panel of experts on the coming DNC. So much gratitude to our panel which included Julie Coker (PCVB incoming president), LeeAnn Petersen (principal, demconventionstrategies.com), Angela Val (DNC local host committee), Kelley Maddox (political event consultant) and Gerald Drummond (Exec. Chef, Starr Catering). Looking forward to continuing the conversations and helping all you event planners with Real Authentic Catering Solutions.

Look for a big announcement tomorrow. I will share with you the other partners in Authentic Catering. Also join us tomorrow at the Philly ISES (International Special Event Society) monthly meeting for the panel discussion on DNC 2016, I will be moderating and we have a great panel, including LeeAnn Petersen of Convention Strategies 2016 and Julie Coker, incoming president of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitor's Bureau. We will be distributing our first business cards as well. The meme? TR is about as Authentic as you get.
