An anniversary, wedding, corporate event or a child’s milestone birthday coming up and need a caterer? Or maybe just a cocktail party at home or a kosher event? Here are my 6 picks for Miami caterers:
LE BASQUE
A fave in top Miami caterers is Le Basque, a full-service catering and event design company. They are celebrated for designing and creating events distinguished by their meticulous eye for detail. With 30 years in the industry, they provide personal catering with planning services for your private occasion whether it is a wedding, a special wedding anniversary, or a corporate event. Their team of professionals is fluent in English, Spanish and French. A solid relationship with the most prestigious event companies worldwide also successfully provide destination event planning, celebrity chef collaborations, local affiliate partnerships for international catering and production companies, location scouting, menu, event design and event logistics consulting.
Le Basque brings to the table an exquisite and well-executed menu that matches the individuality of each client. This “couture catering” reflects you, the host, on your unique occasion. Precise attention to quality and the meticulous choice of fresh ingredients provides your event, whether intimate or grand, with impeccable taste.
I have attended several events that Le Basque has planned and catered and I am sure that they will live up to and even exceed your expectations. Their team of trained designers will plan a stylized event tailored to your personality. Most recently, a very good friend engaged them to do a cocktail party and dinner for 30 in her 1600 square foot apartment, not an easy task. They set up a beautiful buffet on the dining room table with cheeses and charcuterie and tapas and a bar on the outside balcony. Waiters later passed the dinner courses, a divine risotto followed by duck and birthday cake. Guests took their dish and sat down around the apartment, almost a progressive dinner of sorts. Service was impeccable and it worked like a dream.

THIERRY ISAMBERT CULINARY AND EVENT DESIGN
Thierry Isambert, a celebrated chef, draws profound inspiration from his European heritage and extensive world travels, a perspective that resonates with diverse audiences. Thierry hails from the Champagne region of France. He studied at L’École Hôtelière Poligny, then obtained a master’s degree in finance from L’École Hôtelière de Paris, and to date, he has been awarded two Merit d’ Agricole awards from the French Ambassador.
Thierry has become a key player in Miami’s dynamic culinary scene, catering to world-class audiences, including Formula 1 and the G-8 Summit. His collaborations and relationships with discerning couture designers such as Paris, Italy, Sweden, and New York have shaped Miami’s cultural landscape. He has worked in high-profile philanthropic galas and social events. The New World Center, home of the New World Symphony, now celebrates over twelve years of an exclusive partnership with Thierry Isambert Culinary and Event Design. Corporations have also collaborated with Thierry in their brand launches, from campaigns, and new product lines, to real estate grand openings. Over the past few years, Thierry introduced Le Box! A gourmet entrée with dessert in an avant-garde sustainable box for corporations or a wonderful picnic – delight. (note from Karen: cultural groups I belong to have used them for this and it works really well).
Thierry’s commissary, a testament to his culinary prowess, has attracted Michelin Chefs worldwide, who eagerly seek to experience and align themselves with Thierry and his talented culinary team. The Patisserie at Thierry Isambert is the added jewel to the commissary with its beautifully crafted Petit Fours and European delights.
Besides the corporate events, galas and such they also do intimate dinner parties in private residences and cocktail receptions, weddings, mitzvahs, and extravagant quinceaneras.
