Catering for Small Events in Orlando – Intimate Gatherings of 10-50 Guests Done Right
A Winter Park mom called us three weeks before her daughter's graduation party catering. She had 25 guests coming, and every caterer she contacted had high minimums or wasnt interested in "small" events. Thats exactly why we started Exclusive Affairs – because catering for small events in Orlando shouldnt be hard to find. Whether you need baby shower catering for 15, birthday party catering for 30, or anniversary party catering for a dozen close friends, we treat your intimate gathering with the same care as a 200-person wedding. Small events are actually our specialty because every detail matters more when the guest count is lower.
Why Small Events Matter to Us
Exclusive Affairs Catering has been providing catering for small events in Orlando since 2022. We're a full-service catering company that actually welcomes intimate gatherings when many caterers focus only on large events.
Small event catering means more personalized attention, custom menu catering tailored to your exact needs, and flexibility that bigger operations cant offer. From party catering for a backyard birthday to reception catering for an intimate celebration, we bring the same quality and care to every event.
