From the first planning stages to the final toast, hosting a special event at Black Gold is effortlessly enjoyable for every client.
“We start by getting a feel for what they want their day to be like. We’ll show them the spaces, talk through menu ideas, and go over timing. We put together a clear proposal and keep in touch along the way, adjusting as needed. On the big day, we’re there early, making sure everything’s ready.” Joni Egger, Director of Catering and Events.
In the world of catering, flexibility is key. Black Gold prides themselves on staying prepared, adaptable, and focused on delivering a seamless experience for their guests.
Chef Ron says, “One of the big challenges in catering is timing and making sure everything comes out fresh, hot (or cold), and right when guests are ready. We handle that with a solid game plan and a team that knows how to adjust on the fly if things change. Guest counts can shift or dietary needs pop up last minute, so we always have backup options ready. And if something unexpected happens, we pivot quickly so the client never feels the stress.”
The catering and events team at Black Gold knows that the mark of a truly successful event is fantastic food–so they make sure it’s unforgettable, from “grab and go” breakfasts to buffets that are anything but ordinary.
“We make the food just as memorable as the event itself, and often customize breakfast, lunch, and post-round options.”, says Armendariz
Black Gold’s culinary team brings global flavors to the table, offering a diverse range of cuisine designed to delight even the most discerning palates.
“From All-American to Halal, we offer it all! We take a lot of culinary options into consideration so our menus can appeal to everyone.”
Client satisfaction starts with careful planning for dietary needs and allergies well in advance, all without compromising on quality or flavor.
“When we plan an event, we ask about any special needs up front, so our team can create options that are safe–and just as delicious as the rest of the menu.”, states Egger
In an industry as detail driven as event planning, Black Gold sets itself apart by delivering a truly personalized experience.
“We really listen to what each client wants, then work together to bring those ideas to life in a way that feels effortless for them. We build relationships by taking the time to get to know the people behind the event. It’s not just about menus and timelines–we want to understand their style, their priorities, and what will make the day special for them.”
Black Gold stays ahead of the curve by embracing the latest trends in event planning to make every event feel fresh and unique.
Julie Crow explains, “Our team is always looking out for what is trending both in food and décor presentation. We are always trying to offer what others do not.”,
Committed to sustainability and responsible sourcing, Black Gold does their part for the environment, too.
“Our Chef and his team are constantly searching and resourcing local sustainable ingredients. We actively participate by recycling food scraps and growing our own herbs. We participate in local food recycling programs using Chow Match, environmental grease recycling programs to recycle food grade oils, and we work hard to recycle all bottles and cans from our beverage program.”
“We are excited to roll out our new drop-off catering service for local businesses, perfect for office lunches and meetings. Additionally, we will be rolling out our new fall menu soon.”
