Meet Our Team

Since its inception in 1929, All Occasions Catering has maintained a reputation for providing a personalized dining experience with unique and delicious food options. But what exactly makes All Occasions Catering so great?

The people!

Mark Andersen

Owner

All Occasions Catering is owned and operated by Mark Andersen, who has been passionate about food since he can remember. His family was in the food business, so he grew up with an appreciation for good food provided by people with a passion for quality service.

My mission was simple, really. I wanted to offer a superior product and great service, but I also wanted to give people an experience. And I think the way you accomplish that is with great people who work hard, who care about the food and want to deliver a memorable product and service.

Jaimi TerLaan

Sales Manager

As Sales Manager, Jaimi is often the first point of contact a client has with All Occasions Catering. She loves organizing events and immediately puts her customers at ease. Jaimi loves to create experiences people will remember, and says there’s nothing like seeing a client’s vision and ideas materialize into a stunning and memorable occasion.

Jaimi enjoys traveling and exploring new places, cultures, and foods. She’s a diehard Wisconsin sports fan and is happiest when cheering on her favorite teams, especially when she’s with her family. While she has many hobbies, cooking is her true passion. She finds it a therapeutic and creative outlet, but most importantly it’s how she shows love to her friends and family. 

Jaimi has built a successful career in sales by following these words: “Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card, how you leave others feeling after an experience with you becomes your trademark.” -Jay Danzie

Executive Chef, Phillip Carrion, is a valuable addition to the All Occasions Catering team with his creativity and talent for creating custom menus. He is guided by the saying “everything you can imagine is real,” and does so by bringing new ideas and concepts to life through food.

Hector Miranda | Sous Chef

Hector Miranda

Sous Chef

It’s obvious to all of us in the All Occasions Catering kitchen that Sous Chef Hector Miranda has been cooking for most of his life. His talent for bringing culinary visions to life is as natural to him as breathing and is truly an art form. Hector admits that although cooking and being in the kitchen can be exhausting at times, it’s worth it when he sees people enjoy the food he prepares. When Hector is not cooking, he loves spending time with his family and friends. His inspiration and drive both in and out of the kitchen comes from being a dad and spending time with his daughters.
