Em’s Catering is a love project. I started it as a small private chef side gig to help make ends meet and it quickly grew to a full business. My team and I have been part of over 200 weddings and being there to watch the most special day in a couples life is joyful. We pour that joy and love into the food. Everything is customized to the couples vision. Nothing is out of reach so dream big with us! We can make it a beautiful reality.

Welcome to Christine's Plates, a heartfelt journey inspired by the warmth of grandmother's kitchen. Our story is rooted in the rich tapestry of generational legacy, where rustic farm-inspired cuisine becomes a tribute to tradition, quality, and community. It all started with a simple apron, a symbol of love, and a spark that ignited our passion for food. Christine's Plates is more than a dining experience; it's a celebration of cherished memories and the enduring spirit of our grandmother's dream.
