About Us

We were inspired to call our company Avalon Caterers because of the King Arthur tales I read as a child. I was captivated by the isle of Avalon, a mysterious place shrouded in mist, where crops were abundant, self-sustaining, and the people who ate these miraculous foods lived for hundreds of years. The isle of Avalon was inhabited by nine enchantresses, all sisters. Wounded warriors were sent to the sisters to be fed, healed, and returned to the battlefield to fight for the kingdom.

We’ve applied this thinking to our Avalon, in the hope that you’ll find the food will do for you, as modern warriors, what it did for warriors of legend.

"But now farewell. I am going a long way
To the island-valley of Avilion;
Where falls not hail, or rain, or any snow,
Nor ever wind blows loudly; but it lies
Deep-meadowed, happy, fair with orchard lawns
And bowery hollows crowned with summer sea,
Where I will heal me of my grievous wound."

The Passing of Arthur,
Idylls of the King by Alfred,
Lord Tennyson

“To say “thank you” just doesn’t seem to be enough. The food, your staff, the presentation, it was all first class. Although we are clients, you treat us like friends. Please don’t ever change your approach!”

– Foundation for the National Institutes of Health

“What can we possibly say that would be sufficient to express how grateful we are for the WONDERFUL, OUTSTANDING AND EXTRAORDINARY service that you and your staff provided at our event? The circumstances were less than ideal, yet everyone was pleasant, calm and accommodating. What a staff!”

“Everyone at the DNC is positively beaming. On behalf of the Chairman and everyone here, I extend a heartfelt thank you for all the work you did to make our “Democrats United” event a truly one-of-a-kind evening that will be forever remembered by our guests.”

– Ellen Thrower, Democratic National Committee

“As the events planner for the Democratic National Committee, I have worked with Avalon for over 12 years. Events have ranged in size and scope from 15 people in a private home, to a cocktail reception for 200, to one of the 1,000-person inaugural balls during President Obama’s inauguration. I cannot say enough good things about Avalon – they are top-notch and professional from start to finish. They are a wonderful company (with DELICIOUS food!) and I always like the opportunity to spread the word about their fantastic work.”

- CASEY BREITENBECK, DNC EVENTS PLANNER

“Thank you so much to you and your phenomenal team for a job well done last night. I expected your food to be great, but I never expected the grace, professionalism, kindness, and charm of the Avalon crew. Without exception, everyone was fantastic. Everyone loved the food - it really was excellent.”
