ANNOUNCEMENT
Happy New Year! Year 2021 presented us with many challenges that affected our ability to carry out business as usual; cancelled events, lack of product inventory, and staff related issues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, not all was lost, we did experience a bounce-back during the summer months and the holiday season as clients began to entertain again. During the year 2021, Occasional Occasions by Carlton, LLC (founded by Carlton Brown) and The Savory Plate, LLC (founded by Christopher Fitzpatrick) worked collaboratively to provide clients with expanded services and cuisine offerings. These collaborative efforts led to the merger

5 Star Service from inception to completion. Chefs Christopher and Carlton are very passionate about preparing and serving cuisine that is delicious, beautiful and the experience memorable. This team was very engaged and made the process of selecting a menu for our dinner party seamless, our vision a reality and we enjoyed ALL courses prepared from appetizers to a specially prepared dessert. Our family and guests are still commenting on the food. Thank you and your staff for creating the elegant ambiance as promised, we truly were guests in our home for the 60th Birthday Celebration. Special thanks to Chef BJ for Gigi’s birthday serenade. We’ll definitely recommend and contract with you for future events.

They were the nicest, most calming people I spoke to. Every concern I had they assured me it was fine and on the day of my wedding I was impressed with the flawless service they provided!

My dearest Carlton,
Please forgive me for not giving you a review earlier than today. But let me just say, I will always use Occasional Occasions catering for any event that I do in my home. What a blessing it is to be able to enjoy your guest at your celebration and not worry about all the things that need to be in place to ensure your guest to have a wonderful time. And the little things that need to be remembered for the celebration to go off without a hitch. My guest were so pampered. I did not have to worry about anything. Occasional occasions catering took care of every need and want that I required for my birthday celebration. It was so wonderful to be able to come down and just enjoy my guest. Usually when I do an event I am usually so worn out before the party gets started. But this time, no worries whatsoever. Your staff was very professional, and catered to every need of my guess. How wonderful it was to not have to clean up after an event, they left my kitchen spotless and everything was in place. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
May God continue to bless your businesses as you bless and thank him for where you are today.
Sincerely,
Debbie Bates

Occasional Occasions by Carlton Catering provided catering services for our wedding reception that took place on March 24, 2022. From the time we contacted Carlton, Christopher and their team, we were impressed by their friendliness and professionalism. They answered every question we had and offered great advice and recommendations as we were planning our event and even still evaluating multiple caterers. They took a huge load off of our shoulders and made us feel so comfortable. Once we selected them, they stayed in contact with us and made sure that we covered all details and aspects to ensure that our guests had a wonderful experience. On the day of our wedding and reception, we met Carlton and his team. If possible, they seemed to be even more friendly and professional in person. We saw a first-class team and operation. The staff at the venue also had great things to say about them. Carlton and his team truly had an interest in doing their part to make our big day special. We were greeted with big smiles and well-wishes for our wedding ceremony, celebration and marriage. They were prompt, prepared, and ready to deliver on their promises - and they certainly did! The food, presentation and service were excellent. Carlton, Christopher and their team are a handsome bunch: professionally dressed and well-spoken too! With my wife and her family being from the Caribbean/Jamaica and me and my family being from New Orleans, we wanted dishes that were influenced by those regions and cultures. The food was a big hit! Everyone loved the various dishes, even the elders that can really cook and are very particular as to how certain food should taste. People are still raving about the food, the aroma and smell, and the presentation and service! Carlton and his team were an integral part in making our wedding and reception special for us and our family and friends that were there to celebrate our union! Big thanks to Occasional Occasions by Carlton Catering! -Marva & Jaske

Working with Carlton was nothing short of amazing. He catered a repast for my godmother's Celebration of Life service. He was flexible with the dates and short notice, communicated beautifully, and created a menu that met the needs of some of the dietary restrictions we had. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again for future catering needs.
