The playlist is complete, the chimney has been swept, the mistletoe is swinging,. All in anticipation of the guest of honor, Santa Claus. But holiday festivities wouldn’t be complete without suitable libation. Sure, you could crack open a beer. But if you want it to taste like Christmas, dip into the following classics.
As we approach the end of the year, it’s natural to reflect on the past months—the milestones achieved, the challenges overcome, and the moments that brought us joy. The holiday season is the perfect time to pause, look back, and appreciate the people and experiences that have shaped our journey.
At All Occasions Catering, we practice sustainability by donating food scraps to a local hobby farm, where everyday leftovers are transformed into nutrient-rich compost or animal feed. This not only minimizes waste but also supports a small farm’s growth—creating a closed-loop system that benefits the environment and the community.

Planning an event can be both exciting and overwhelming, especially when it comes to navigating the world of catering. With so many terms and options, it’s easy to feel lost.

In the whirlwind of life, everything seems to be moving at an unprecedented pace, leaving us wondering: are we keeping up?

Our most requested summer side? It’s our signature coleslaw! This is a perfect dish to compliment any summer cookout. We NEVER share our recipes, but this one is too good to keep all to ourselves. Make it and let us know how much you loved it!
All Occasions Catering is proud to be a part of MATC’s Culinary Arts Board Committee.

As a catering company, it can be a challenge to generate urgency for summer party planning when we’re all still defrosting our windshields. And you know what, we get it. There are no paler thighs in Wisconsin than ours in late Winter, but nearly overnight the songbirds will be back, and if we open our windows wide enough we can hear the faint crack of a baseball bat. Summer is coming, quickly, and it’s time to get organized.
You are an excellent cook. Your friends absolutely rave about your vegetarian lasagna, and Aunt Doreen specifically requests your carrot cake at family functions. Admirable though your dishes may be, with the utmost respect, you aren’t a caterer. And even if you were, there are a good many reasons not to cook for your own event, and instead hire out the pros.
