Entertaining Ideas was founded in 1993 by Diane Gordon. Over the past 15 years, Ms. Gordon has acquired a diverse team of expert chefs, mixologists and event planners in order to provide the most outstanding off site catering in New York. Our goal is to plan a highly customized event that speaks to the client's personal tastes.

Our portfolio includes a spectrum of unique events. Whether your needs call for coordinating a corporate holiday party or planning a sweet sixteen party, we are prepared to tailor an unforgettable function that speaks to your individual tastes. Contact us today for our corporate party planning service.

Some of our most enjoyable events include those marking important milestones. Entertaining Ideas specializes in birthday party planning that is destined to please the guest of honor, as well as his or her list of attendees. Our culinary team develops menus around the client's preferences to work within a theme. The client can choose if they would like for us to focus on catering a casual affair, or if they would prefer to have us planning an elegant party.

Our accumulated experiences have provided us with great techniques and skills: we design ideal seating arrangements and assign staffing as necessary. When planning an event, for example, we provide ample room for sitting and for dancing. Many of our clients seek to stand out, and instead of providing them with the typical streamers and balloons atmosphere, we transform the setting into their own nightclub. These tricks stem from our cocktail party ideas, which allow us to get very creative.

One particular birthday celebration that is a client favorite is the sixteenth. Planning a sweet sixteen party gives us a chance to work with teenagers on their most important birthday. We plan an event that is coveted by friends and classmates alike. Often, cocktail party appetizers are served tapas-style. We'll work with the guest-of-honor to include their favorites on the menu. Our birthday party planning skills simply go unmatched.

Our staff is a leader in planning of-the-moment affairs. Our cocktail party ideas vary depending on the client's personal tastes and which theme they choose to execute. If it can be imagined, our team is sure to be able to create it. Contact our offices directly at 212.289.1230 to learn more about our services and off site catering in New York.
