With an Irish-born owner who spent her culinary training and work all over the world and a French-born and raised Events
Manager, it is no wonder that Catering Connection has a penchant for inspired cuisine. Especially during the holidays, their regular clients return asking for time-honored classics with which to entertain their guests. Over the years guests have come to trust Catering Connection with their holiday menu design and implementation.
