Callahan House requires the use of one of our fantastic, preferred caterers for all weddings.

Alternatively, you can bring in disposable items. Details for this can be arranged with your caterer. Recyclable items are preferred.
Please arrange for a friend or family member to have their car loaded at the end of your event with your leftover food and alcohol, gifts, décor, and personal items. Catering staff will ready these items for loading prior to event ending time.
Catering provides event staff for setup and cleanup of the venue as well as management of your timeline, buffet, and alcohol service.
They are your go-to team for your special day!

It is recommended to limit alcohol options to 2-3. For example, 2 types of wine and 2 types of beer, etc. This ensure your guests are served efficiently and you take home as much unopened product as possible at the end of your event.
