Sweet Basil Catering

What type of catering do you specialize in?

We specialize in “cocktail-style” catering, featuring chef-prepared hors d’oeuvres, canapes, and finger foods passed around by servers or displayed on food stations. This type of catering is ideal for events where guests are encouraged to mingle and socialize.

Do you offer drop-off catering?

No, we specialize in full-service catering, handling everything from food and beverages to staffing, rental coordination, setup, and cleanup, providing a complete, end-to-end catering experience.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Happily! We accommodate a variety of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and more. Just let us know your preferences, and we’ll tailor the menu to suit your event.

How is Sweet Basil different from other NYC caterers?

Attention to detail and a team that truly cares! As a woman-owned company, we lead with a hands-on, client-focused approach, limiting the number of events we cater on a given day to ensure each client gets our full attention. Our seasoned hospitality staff makes every guest feel welcome and goes the extra mile to ensure a seamless and memorable event.

What event sizes do you cater?

We cater events ranging from 25 to 350 guests, ensuring exceptional service at every scale.

What makes you the top choice for corporate catering events in NYC?

Leading brands trust us when the details matter most! With over 17 years of experience catering for top brands like Nike, Versace, and Goldman Sachs, we understand what it takes to deliver seamless corporate events. From high-pressure timelines to complex logistics, we anticipate challenges before they arise, ensuring flawless execution. Our expertise, reliability, and ability to adapt make us the go-to catering partner for NYC’s most demanding corporate events.

Can I provide beverages and alcohol for my event?

Yes! You’re welcome to provide wine, beer, liquor, and non-alcoholic beverages, and our bartenders will serve them. We don’t charge a corkage fee or any extra service fees for this.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking one to two months in advance, but we’ll do our best to accommodate short-notice events based on our availability.
