So my wife and I had Andy and his team over last night for a private dinner with friends… words cannot express how amazing and incredible this experience was. My friends were all left in awe of how wonderful the service, the food and the atmosphere was. They made sure everything was taken care of and even asked my wife to check the kitchen to ensure that they left it cleaner than when they arrived. Absolutely loved this and will be using them again.
The absolute best food and service I have ever experienced. I will use Andy’s catering company for all my personal and business events in the future.
I can't tell if it was the food or the experience that I liked most but both were fantastic.
Big Boards did an event at our annual camp for special needs two weeks ago. The staff was accommodating for our many needs and fantastic to work with! They helped me plan everything from start to finish and brought plenty of their staff to help serve and get things out quickly. Not only was the food flavorful and delicious, the buffet they set up was beautiful! The vines and flowers around the buffet table, and the carafes they used for everything were stunning. Extremely professional, clean, and super helpful. I will definitely be using them again in the future.
Delicious food and even better service, I had Chef Andy take care of the meal part of my housewarming party and I could not stop getting compliments on the food. By far the best pulled pork and grits I’ve had in my life!
Andy and his team made my milestone birthday party absolutely fabulous! The food was delicious and the presentation was festive and elegant. All of my guests raved about how they enjoyed the food. The set up and take down were super smooth as well. I highly recommend Big Boards Catering!
I recently attended a birthday party catered by Big Board Catering. The food was excellent and the shrimp and grits were unmatched! I highly recommend Big Boards!
We had Chef Andy and Big Boards cater my wedding a few weeks back and it was nothing short of amazing! Andy is the absolute best and always made himself available to me no matter what time it was. He listened to all my crazy requests (some of them being unreasonably last minute) and he made it happen! We personally asked for crab cakes to be part of the menu and even though it was not something he had done previously he KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK (definitely recommend those for your event!). He was also the life of the party personally my guests could not stop talking about him! Cannot thank him enough!
Big Boards Catering handled food for a combined event at our house — my son's grad party and my other son's 21st birthday, all in one day. They nailed it. The buffet looked incredible, with gold chafing dishes, fresh greenery, and a little fountain centerpiece that had everyone asking who did our catering. The food was just as good as it looked. The meatball and cherry tomato dish disappeared fast, the pesto pasta and marinara penne were both great, and the pretzel bites and chicken skewers were a hit too. Everything stayed warm and got refilled without us having to flag anyone down, which made a big difference with two different crowds to feed. Juggling a grad party and a 21st birthday under one roof wasn't simple, but they made it look effortless. Would absolutely book them again.
Andy is the epitome of professionalism. He and his team at Big Boards truly specialize in making the experience stress-free and highly enjoyable for the host. If you want a caterer who serves gorgeous and delicious food and takes amazing care of you from start to finish, Andy is your guy!
We hired Andy to cater our daughter’s Baby Shower and he did an exceptional job. It was an “Amalfi Coast” themed event and the menu Andy developed was superb. Everything was delicious, the set up and staffing of the event was perfect. Highly recommend!
Andy and his crew catered our Halloween party and the set up was stunning and the food was incredible. All of our guests loved the food. We usually have left overs, but not this time! It was devoured. Will definitely hire them again and have recommended them to all of our family and friends.
We were truly blessed to have Big Boards Catering provide a meal for our entertainment team and crew on the day of our show at the House of Blues Orlando. Andy and his team not only delivered exactly what was promised, but went above and beyond with their guidance, professionalism, and attention to detail. They understood our group’s needs perfectly, and the food presentation was outstanding—absolutely fitting for the setting and occasion. Everything was handled with excellence. As a former member of the Country Music Association, Gospel Music Association, and the Recording Academy (Grammys), I can confidently say I highly recommend this local business for any catering needs. You will not be disappointed.
When we first talked with Andy about catering our wedding, which was at a unique venue; a nature center in the woods, what sold us was his immediate enthusiasm. He and his team were wonderful. His diligence to make sure we were happy with everything was impressive. He even asked us to come visit the kitchen a few months before the wedding to sample some items before we committed to hiring him as our caterer, even had us try a few items we hadn't asked about having on the menu before hand. Himself and his team were incredible at the wedding. For my next event I know who I'm hiring to cater, it'll be Andy from Big boards.
Outstanding food and service!!! We used Andy and his team for my daughter’s high school graduation party, and they absolutely exceeded every expectation. The food was incredible, the presentation was beautiful, and the entire staff was professional, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. Andy made the planning process so easy and stress-free, and he truly helped make the party so memorable. Highly recommend for any special event!!
I attended a party that Big Boards did the catering for, the food was amazing! The cheese grits were awesome, best cheese grits I've ever eaten. All the food was amazing, but the chicken biscuits were a special standout!
They are catering my niece’s graduation party. The food is the best and so is the staff!!!
Excellent selection of appetizers. Loved the crabcakes. Great service, constant staff circulation.
Big Boards Catering absolutely delivered one of the best private chef dining experiences we’ve had. Chef Andy Raphael and his team, Erica and Judy, created a restaurant-quality chef’s tasting experience right in our friend’s home with flawless execution, incredible presentation, and genuinely warm hospitality from start to finish. Every course stood out. The shrimp ceviche with avocado was bright and refreshing, the lollipop lamb chops with Yukon mash were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, and the lobster skewers with seafood boil sauce were unforgettable. The sous vide tomahawk steak finished over fire with chimichurri was a true showstopper, perfectly rare with an amazing charred and smoky finish. The Mediterranean shrimp and cheese grits and the beef tenderloin with multicolored carrots in pan sauce were both rich, balanced, and beautifully plated. Luxurious! They ended the night with lovely chocolate cannolis finished with salted caramel drizzle. Beyond the food, the service was superb. Chef Andy, Erica, and Judy were professional, attentive, organized, and made the entire evening feel elevated but comfortable at the same time. This was easily food worthy of a high-end chef’s tasting menu experience. Highly recommend Big Boards Catering for private dinners, special occasions, or anyone looking to seriously impress their guests.
Shrimp and grits were absolutely delicious We also had a tomahawk steak cooked Perfectly. Everything tasted great and very friendly staff
Absolutely incredible dinner catered by BIG BOARDS CATERING. From the fresh ceviche and chili oil lobster to the perfectly cooked tomahawk steak, shrimp & grits, and beef tenderloin with carrots — every course was outstanding. And the chocolate cannolis were the perfect ending. Not only was the food amazing, but the team was professional, personable, and incredibly tidy throughout the entire evening. Such a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend 🙏
Amazing! Outstanding! Delicious! From seafood to lamb to steak…cannot be BEAT!!!
Incredible service, Andy and his team gave our dinner party winning dishes one after another. Would highly recommend.
SO GOOD!!! Always such a pleasure seeing this team at an event & the food never ever disappoints!
Matthew's Hope used Big Boards for our Fall Fundraiser event, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park! The presentation was stunning, the selection was incredible, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the spread looked and tasted. From planning to delivery, the team was professional, reliable, and a joy to work with. They helped make our event a massive success, and we will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!
Search no more. Big boards is the one! Amazing, delicious And Beautiful catering. Thank you Andy and team!
BBC did an amazing job providing the food for our cocktail hour at our December 2024 wedding at Sterling Events Venue in Minneola. There was such a great variety of options for everyone to enjoy, and everything was displayed so beautifully. Our guests absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend them for any catering event.
We’ve had Andy and his team support multiple events, and they consistently exceed expectations every single time. The food is outstanding both in quality and presentation, and the staff is professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to creating a great experience. What truly sets them apart is their flexibility and partnership. They work closely with us on menu selection, timing, and overall event flow, making everything seamless and stress-free. I would highly recommend Andy for any event whether it’s an intimate gathering or a large-scale function. They deliver excellence across the board.
Working with Andy to plan our Derby party was delightful. He really listened and delivered on our vision. The set up, take down and service during the party left nothing for us to do but enjoy our party! Thank you Andy and team!
Thank you to Andy and Teresa Raphael at Big Board Catering and My Favorite Tutor! We are so grateful for your generous donation of a Taco Bar for Foundation Academy Teacher Appreciation luncheon!

Attended a Derby Party and the food was a highlight! Everything was delicious and there was a wide variety of items to choose from. Would definitely recommend for your next event party!
Andy and the team at Big Boards Catering is the best. Ate some of the most delicious food at a catered event in Winter Garden recently and I was blown away. Everything was extremely well-seasoned, juicy and tender proteins, and staff was very kind/professional. Was so impressed I'm having them do wedding catering for me later this year! I love this team and their food; you will too 😉
Andy is a culinary genius, creating the most savory, mouthwatering dishes. His personality is magnetic and his attention to detail is impeccable! With Andy, you can enjoy the parties you host!!!
Andy did an absolutely amazing job with planning our Family party! It was such a good feeling to enjoy the Party rather than worry about details of serving! Andy will be cherished as “Must Have” to all my events!! 🎸⭐️
Our meeting was catered by Big Boards and the food was delicious, and thats saying something because im pretty picky. Great work and they are so friendly!
We had Andy from Big Boards Catering serve our networking event. Great food and service. I highly recommend them for any event!
What an amazing experience! Great service, the food was delicious, top quality and presentation was flawless. I highly recomend Big Boards for any event you need catering.
We were trying to decide on food for a large event but we’re worried about clean up. Andy was very quick to respond and suggested a perfect solution. I have his food at a number of events and it’s always delicious.
Really amazing food. And, the company culture is beautiful. Love the food and the team. Andy was so kind to come to my home and quote the event. He even brought samples!! Excellent communication. Shrimp/Grits/Brisket/Mac and cheese. Everything was amazing.
I love the deliciousness of his food, the service and presentation of big boards catering. I don’t have time to make lavish meals for my parties and Chef Andy always surpasses my expectations. I highly recommend you book them asap. Make your people happy through good food. You won’t regret it.
Andy and Big Boards Catering makes some delicious food! Sometimes with catering and making mass qualities, quality can be lost and that’s not the case with Big Boards. I would highly recommend them for any event! They are the best.
Excellent savory food made with care. If you want someone who cares to cater your special event, call Andy. Best food and catering in orlando! Anything from formal events to bussiness meetings and a delicious bite, Big Boards Catering is amazing!
Being from Virginia I know pulled pork and big board catering provided me with truly authentic Virginian( North Carolina..lol) pulled pork.. tasty without being dried out.. delicious
Great tasting food and excellent service is what you will get when you hire Big Boards Catering
Wow thank you! They showed up and made it easy to feed our group of 50. The food was fresh and delicious.
I am so grateful for Andy and Big Board Charcuterie. I call Andy “Mr. Clutch” because when a caterer had to back out at the last minute, I reached out to Big Board Charcuterie and not only did they come to the rescue, but they were simply amazing. The food, the professionalism of the staff, their set up, all of it was top tier. Since that day, I have used Big Board Charcuterie for many events and they continue to impress me. I would definitely recommend Big Board Charcuterie.
The displays are always impressive and the flavors are always there to back up the presentations.
Andy and his team always deliver fabulous food and over the top customer service! We had Big Boards do our daughter’s engagement party back in April of 2022 at the Oakland Park Town Hall. Andy listened to our needs and requests and created a wonderful smorgasbord for our guests! He is definitely a top recommendation when anyone asks for a catering team to make their event a success!
Andy and his team at Big Boards Catering has blessed many of our events with his creativity and ability to theme food, decor and fun. The food is always the best and presentation is amazing. His team is professional and always ready to help and serve. I would highly recommend them for any and every event.
All the wow without any worry. The team is always superb-delivers exceptional service, amazing food and no hassle set up and clean up. They have made our family celebrations next level (weddings, birthdays and services). When we we need an event catered-they are always my first choice. They have become family.
Andy at Big Boards is the best catering service in Clermont and all of Lake County, FL. My team visited the area for a Christmas party in December and I couldn’t believe how delicious the food was. I asked Billy Harper of Empowered Electrical “Who made all of this? This is some of the best food I’ve ever had” he let me know it was Andy and his team. We love Andy so much that he’s flying out to us and catering for my brother and sister-in-law in August. If you’re looking for a white glove service from a world class team, it makes zero sense to go anywhere else. Andy and the Big Boards team will provide a magical experience. 10/10!! 🇺🇸🔥
Big Boards Catering made my niece’s bridal shower absolutely unforgettable! Andy and his crew were phenomenal from start to finish. The attention to detail was incredible, and Andy was such a great communicator throughout the entire process—he truly overdelivered and exceeded all of my expectations. The food was outstanding. The deviled eggs were a huge hit, and the shrimp and grits were hands down the best we’ve ever had & everyone is still talking about them! Everything was beautifully presented and perfectly executed. I’m so grateful for the experience and will definitely be working with Andy again in the future. Highly, highly recommend! Photos to come!
Working with Big Boards Catering is always an excellent experience, the food is incredible and the service is top tier! We’ll always recommend them.
Big Boards has the most beautiful presentations of savory cuisine ! They cater from small groups to large reunions! We have gone to several events from Breakfasts to dinners. Big Boards is always professional with a variety of dishes that are so delicious! They have great team work and are a special addition to every event !
Andy and his crew absolutely knocked it out of the park catering my cousin’s bridal shower at our home. From start to finish, everything was seamless. The food was exceptional—beautifully presented and even better tasting (guests are still talking about it). Every detail felt thoughtful and elevated the entire event. The service was just as impressive. Andy and his team were professional, attentive, and made everything feel effortless on our end. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly so we could actually enjoy the day. I would recommend Andy to anyone without hesitation and will definitely be using him again for future events. Five stars all the way!
I just have to say—Andy absolutely knocked it out of the park. The food was incredible from start to finish, but the shrimp and grits were on another level. Hands down the best shrimp I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and just melt-in-your-mouth good. You can tell a lot of care and skill went into every bite. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this to everyone I know!
Such a great catering company! If you want class paired with absolutely delicious food, this is the one. Everything was beautifully done and tasted even better than it looked!!

Big Boards Catering made celebrating my special event an enchanting evening, and my guest are still raving about the food and excellent service.

Big Boards Catering never disappoints! The food is always absolutely amazing and the teams smiles are an added bonus. Fresh, flavorful, and a hit no matter the size of the gathering. I have attended small get-togethers and some large events they catered and they consistently deliver quality and professionalism. What truly sets them apart is the heart behind the business. Andy is incredibly kind and generous, not only to his clients, but also to his team. My daughter works for him, and it means so much knowing she’s part of a company that genuinely cares about its employees. If you’re looking for catering that goes above and beyond, Big Boards Catering is the way to go!

Goodbye party for ED. Wonderful variety and amount of food for staff party (Feb 2026). Everyone was raving about the food.
Andy and his team put together an amazing menu for my son's Wedding Rehersal dinner at our home. What made it even better was we did it all in under 2 weeks!

Delicious food and amazing elevated experience. Owners are extremely personable and always engaging at events. Definitely next level for catering.
Big Boards has been a go-to for my husband and me from Day 1, and we will continue to have them cater our yearly New Years Day event (wouldn't consider any other caterer....ever!). Andy and his team always go the extra mile and bring our events to another level. We have never been disappointed in the quality of the food and service we receive, and we so appreciate the way Big Boards brings that WOW factor! Highly recommend!!!
Every year my husband and I host a Christmas party for our staff of about 75-100 people. Big Boards has been catering this event for the last 4 years. They are always a joy to work with and food is always consistent and DELICIOUS. You must try their deviled eggs! We plan to continue to use their services for our Christmas party and any other events that come up.
I’ve used Big Boards Catering for several events, and they’ve been exceptional every time. They always arrive with a positive attitude, serve delicious food, and truly go above and beyond to ensure everything aligns perfectly with your event’s theme. Last December, our downtown Orlando office building turned 100 years old. They planned a “100-Year Old Christmas” party for me, and it was outstanding. They exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for someone to handle your event, Andy and his team are a fantastic choice. They absolutely will not disappoint.
Andy and his team were phenomenal for our wedding this past January at Villa Festa in Deland FL. The food was amazing and the presentation was stunning. Andy’s attention to detail is second to none. Highly recommend for any event!

Grazing Table in Clermont
The boards form the foundation of every grazing table, and we build them rich and varied. Our Whipped Brie Board with Honey Salt & Fruit gives guests a creamy, sweet and savory centerpiece. The Whipped Goat Cheese Board with Fig Jam Pistachios & Hot Honey adds bold, layered flavor. A Brie with Cranberry Honey Pistachios & Pink Salt Board brings a festive, holiday friendly touch. The Boursin Board with Pepper Jelly & Walnuts offers a sharp, peppery contrast. For a fresh option, the Ricotta & Burrata Board with Roasted Red Peppers Tomatoes & Balsamic adds color and brightness. We surround the boards with cured meats, olives, nuts, and seasonal fruit for a full, overflowing look. We help you choose a mix of boards that fits your crowd, your theme, and your budget.
Clermont sits at the center of our work, and our grazing service travels well beyond the city. We style tables in Groveland, Minneola, and Mascotte for parties and family celebrations. Hosts in Orlando, Dr. Phillips, and Windermere book us for weddings, showers, and corporate receptions. We bring service north to Lake Mary, Longwood, Maitland, and Winter Park for both relaxed and formal events. To the west, Winter Garden, Ocoee, and Apopka fall within our regular range. We also serve Celebration and Kissimmee near the theme park corridor, where venue rules and timing tend to be strict. Each city receives the same prep discipline, the same on time arrival, and the same clean setup. If your location sits in our service area, we plan the route, the equipment, and the styling around it well ahead of the date.
Crostini and bites give a grazing table its variety, and we offer a wide selection. Caprese Crostini, Brie Crostini with Berries & Honey, and Smoked Salmon Crostini with Creme Fraiche cover a range of flavors. Goat Cheese Pear Prosciutto & Hot Honey Crostini brings a sweet and savory bite guests love. Charcuterie Skewers and Fig Prosciutto & Brie Bites make easy, satisfying handhelds for mingling. Prosciutto Wrapped Fruit Skewers and Blackberry Cucumber & Mozzarella Skewers add fresh, colorful options. Prosciutto & Burrata Sliders and Charcuterie Sliders give guests a heartier handheld choice. A Bread & Cracker Assortment and a Dips & Spreads Platter round out the spread. We balance rich, fresh, and crunchy elements so every guest finds something they love.
Presentation is what sets a grazing table apart, and it is the heart of our work. We arrange color, height, and texture so the table looks abundant and draws guests in. Cascading fruit, folded meats, and clustered cheeses create the signature overflowing look. Fresh herbs, edible flowers, and seasonal produce add finishing touches. We match the styling to your theme, your colors, and your venue setting. A well styled grazing table often becomes the photo backdrop of the event. We can scale the look from a small board to a long table that fills a room. Beautiful presentation is a signature of Big Boards Catering, and it elevates the entire event.
A smooth grazing table runs on planning, and we start that work early. Chef Andy Raphael walks each client through board choices, guest counts, and service timing during a free planning session. We confirm venue rules, table space, power, and cooling needs before the date so there are no surprises. For larger or formal events, a tasting helps you lock in flavors and presentation ahead of time. Throughout the process, we coordinate with event planners, venue staff, and hosts to keep service on schedule. We help you choose a service style, from a fully styled and staffed table to a simple drop off, based on your venue and budget. Pricing stays transparent and itemized, so you always know what each dollar covers. That honesty is core to how Big Boards Catering runs, and it builds the trust clients count on.
No two guest lists look the same, so we customize every grazing table. Vegetarian options fill the table, from the Hummus Board to fresh fruit and vegetable spreads. We track nut, dairy, and gluten concerns from the first call through final plating, and we prep those items with care to reduce cross contact. We label boards and bites clearly so guests with allergies can choose with confidence. The Hummus Board with Olives Cucumbers & Honey gives a naturally plant friendly centerpiece. We can offer gluten conscious crackers and breads on request. Guests who avoid pork can choose from cheese, vegetable, and seafood based bites. Flexibility never comes at the cost of food safety or quality, because both stay non negotiable in our kitchen.
Service quality shows up in the details guests rarely notice, and that is where our team stands out. We handle delivery, full setup, and table styling before guests arrive, so the spread is ready on time. For staffed events, our team manages the table, refills, and any stations throughout the celebration. We keep cold items chilled and refresh the spread before it runs low, which keeps it fresh and safe. Plates, napkins, and small utensils sit where guests reach them naturally. Cleanup happens quietly while the celebration continues, so the energy of the day stays intact. At the end, we pack out our equipment and leave the space the way we found it. You finish the event with nothing left to manage, which is the entire point of hiring a full service caterer.
CLEAR COMMUNICATION
We believe successful catering starts with strong communication. Our team stays responsive throughout the planning process so expectations, timing, and event details stay organized.
FULL SERVICE CATERING
Our team handles setup, serving, coordination, and cleanup so you can focus on your guests instead of managing event logistics. Big Boards Catering delivers smooth, professional service from start to finish.
CUSTOM EVENT MENUS
Every event is different, which is why Big Boards Catering creates menus tailored to your guest count, event style, and food preferences. We help build a catering experience that feels organized and memorable.
Commonly Asked Grazing Table Questions
A grazing table covers more than the food, since it includes styling, setup, service, and cleanup for your event. The questions below cover what Clermont hosts ask us most before they book a grazing table.
Grazing table cost depends on guest count, board choices, and service style. In Central Florida, grazing spreads often range from roughly twelve to thirty dollars per guest. A simple spread with a few boards and crackers sits at the lower end of that range. Premium meats, imported cheeses, and seafood push the price higher. Staffing, rentals, and travel can add to the base food cost. Drop off service usually costs less than full on site styling and staffing. Big Boards Catering gives you an itemized estimate so the math stays clear. You never face hidden fees when you book with us.
The ingredients are the biggest cost driver at most grazing tables. Imported and artisan cheeses raise the per guest total. Sticking to a balanced mix of cheeses, meats, and fruit keeps it efficient. A Bread & Cracker Assortment and seasonal produce add volume at a lower cost. Individual Charcuterie Cups can control portions and stretch a budget. We help hosts balance the spread they want against a real number. Trimming one premium item often frees room for another guest favorite. We stay transparent about where each dollar goes.
Headcount affects the total more than many hosts expect. Each guest adds food, serving labor, and sometimes display rentals. Locking your final count early keeps the estimate accurate. We build in a small buffer so the table never looks bare. Weekday and off season events can sometimes lower staffing costs. Larger groups often bring the per guest price down through volume. We walk you through these levers during your free planning session. Call us and we will price your specific grazing table down to the line.
A grazing table layers a wide variety of meats, cheeses, and fresh produce. Cured meats like prosciutto and salami anchor the savory side of the spread. Soft and hard cheeses give guests a range of textures and flavors. Whipped cheese boards add a creamy, dippable centerpiece. Fresh and dried fruit bring color and natural sweetness. Nuts, olives, and spreads fill the gaps between larger items. A Bread & Cracker Assortment gives guests a base for every bite. The result is an abundant, overflowing display that invites grazing.
Our signature boards form the backbone of the table. The Whipped Brie Board with Honey Salt & Fruit offers a sweet and creamy option. The Whipped Goat Cheese Board with Fig Jam Pistachios & Hot Honey adds bold flavor. The Boursin Board with Pepper Jelly & Walnuts brings a peppery kick. The Hummus Board with Olives Cucumbers & Honey covers a plant friendly choice. The Ricotta & Burrata Board adds fresh, bright Italian flavors. We surround these boards with bites, crostini, and skewers. Each table is built to balance rich, fresh, and crunchy elements.
Bites and handhelds add variety and make the table easy to enjoy. Caprese Crostini and Brie Crostini with Berries & Honey give guests classic flavors. Charcuterie Skewers and Fig Prosciutto & Brie Bites are easy to grab while mingling. Prosciutto Wrapped Fruit Skewers add a fresh, colorful element. Bruschetta and a Dips & Spreads Platter round out the spread. A Fresh Seasonal Fruit Display brings a lighter, naturally sweet section. We tailor the exact items to your taste, your theme, and your crowd. The goal is a table where every guest finds something they love.
As a grazing appetizer, plan about three to five ounces per guest. As the main spread, plan closer to six to eight ounces per guest. Lighter eaters and large kid counts can lower that average. Big appetites and long events push it higher. We factor your crowd and timing into the count. A varied table lets guests sample without overloading any one item. We always prep a small buffer so the table never looks bare. Our goal is a full spread without heavy waste.
The role of the table changes the amount you need. A grazing table before dinner serves as a starter, so portions run smaller. A grazing table as the meal calls for a fuller, heartier spread. A standalone reception table sits somewhere in between. We adjust the plan based on the schedule you share. If a full meal follows, guests usually take less from the table. Our estimate spells out the spread for your headcount. Tell us your event type and we will size it precisely.
Variety affects how the count plays out across the table. With many options, guests take small amounts of several items. With few options, each item must serve more guests. A Bread & Cracker Assortment stretches the spread and fills plates. Fresh fruit and vegetables add volume without a heavy cost. We track these ratios from years of catering Central Florida events. That experience keeps portions accurate at any size. You end up with plenty of food and very little left behind.
A charcuterie board is a single platter, while a grazing table is a full styled spread. A board fits a small gathering or a starter for a handful of guests. A grazing table covers a long surface and serves a large crowd. The table includes multiple boards, bites, crostini, and fresh produce. A board focuses on meats and cheeses, while a table adds far more variety. Both share the same abundant, overflowing styling we are known for. The right choice depends on your guest count and event style. We build both, sized to fit your celebration.
A charcuterie board works well for intimate events and small groups. It makes a clean centerpiece for a dinner party or a small reception. We can also offer Individual Charcuterie Cups or Cones for stand up events. These single serve options keep service tidy without a full table. Boards travel easily and set up quickly. They suit office gatherings, showers, and home celebrations. We style each board to look full and inviting. The format scales down without losing the signature look.
A grazing table makes a statement at larger events. It often becomes the visual focal point of the room. We layer boards, bites, and produce across the surface for an abundant look. The table invites guests to graze and mingle throughout the event. It works beautifully for weddings, corporate receptions, and big parties. We can extend the table to match your guest count and venue. The styling ties directly into your theme and colors. Tell us your event and we will recommend the right format.
Most clients book a grazing table two to six weeks before the event. Larger and formal events benefit from a longer lead time. Peak season weekends in Central Florida fill quickly, so early booking helps. Booking ahead gives you first pick of dates and full menu attention. It also leaves time for a tasting on bigger events. Big Boards Catering can sometimes accommodate shorter notice for small spreads. Last minute bookings depend on our calendar for that date. The sooner you reach out, the more flexibility you keep.
Early planning protects you against tight availability and rising costs. It also gives time to coordinate with your venue and any planner. We use the lead window to refine the board list, portions, and styling. Rushing the plan often leads to compromises no host wants. A longer runway keeps the whole process calm. We hold your date once a deposit confirms the booking. Confirmed counts a week out keep the estimate accurate. Chef Andy Raphael prefers ample time to source quality ingredients.
Short timelines are not a dealbreaker, but they narrow your options. We can still build a strong grazing table in a few days when our schedule allows. Simpler spreads and drop off come together faster than fully styled events. We are honest about what is realistic for your date. If we cannot serve you well, we will say so up front. Reaching out early is always the safer choice. Holiday weekends should be booked as far ahead as possible. Contact us today to check availability for your event.
Yes, Big Boards Catering sets up and styles the grazing table on site. Our team arrives early to build the spread before guests arrive. We arrange boards, bites, and produce for an abundant, overflowing look. On site styling lets us shape the table to your exact space. We add fresh herbs and finishing touches just before service. This keeps the spread looking its best when guests walk in. On site setup suits weddings, corporate events, and large parties. It is the option most hosts choose for a polished presentation.
On site service gives your event a hands off, stress free experience. We bring the boards, displays, and styling materials with us. We work with your venue to find the best spot for the table. We keep cold items chilled and refresh the spread during the event. Staff can manage the table and help guests through the spread. Cleanup happens quietly so your celebration keeps its energy. We pack out our equipment and leave the space the way we found it. You never have to touch a board or clear a plate.
Drop off service is available for tighter budgets and simpler events. We build and style the table, then deliver it ready to enjoy. Clear instructions help your team keep the spread looking full. Drop off works well for office gatherings and small parties. Your team handles refills, which keeps the cost lower. We can include disposable plates and utensils on request. We confirm the delivery window so the table arrives fresh and on time. Tell us your event and we will recommend the best fit.
Yes, Big Boards Catering builds grazing tables for weddings and large events with ease. We scale tables for guest counts well into the hundreds. We prep boards and bites in batches so every item stays fresh. A long grazing table moves large crowds efficiently. We add staff and stations as the headcount grows. Timing stays precise even with many guests to serve. Chef Andy Raphael builds a clear timeline for setup and service. Scale never lowers the quality on the table.
Weddings call for a refined, coordinated grazing presentation. We match the styling to your colors, theme, and overall design. The grazing table often becomes the focal point of the cocktail hour. Guests graze and mingle while photos and toasts take place. We can pair the table with passed bites for a fuller reception. We coordinate closely with your planner and venue staff. A clear timeline keeps the grazing service on schedule. The result is an elegant centerpiece that fits the day.
Large events come with their own logistics, and we plan for them. We confirm table space, cooling needs, power, and load in details ahead of time. We size each board to expected demand to limit waste. Dietary options get tracked even across hundreds of guests. We can extend the table or add stations for very large crowds. Our team stays steady under the pressure of a full room or venue. Experience with large events keeps the day on track. Tell us your headcount and we will build the plan to fit.
Yes, we accommodate dietary restrictions at every grazing table we build. Vegetarian options fill the table, from the Hummus Board to fresh fruit and vegetables. We track nut, dairy, and gluten concerns from the first call. We label boards and bites clearly so guests with allergies can choose with confidence. Chef Andy Raphael prepares allergy aware items with care to reduce cross contact. Your guest list tells us how many special items to prepare. Gluten conscious crackers and breads are available on request. No guest should feel left out at the table.
Food safety guides every step of our kitchen work. We follow safe handling practices for storage, prep, and service. Allergen ingredients get separated and clearly marked. Servers know which items carry common allergens like nuts and dairy. We can build a fully separate plate for a guest with severe needs. Communication with you keeps these plans accurate. We confirm the final dietary count before the event. Careful prep protects your guests and your peace of mind.
Plant friendly options are easy to build into the spread. The Hummus Board with Olives Cucumbers & Honey gives a naturally vegan centerpiece. Fresh fruit, vegetables, and dips fit a range of diets. We can lean the table toward lighter, produce forward options on request. Guests who avoid pork can choose cheese, vegetable, and seafood based bites. We treat each request as part of the core plan, not an add on. Flexibility is one reason hosts trust us with mixed guest lists. Tell us your guests’ needs and we will build around them.
