EDEN ALLEY CAFE and CATERING

Other catering services we offer for your event:

PICK UP - Any of our services, from lunch boxes to beautiful, fully-plattered and ready to serve catering meals, are available for you to conveniently pick-up at our restaurant. Deposit fees may apply. You are always welcome to bring your own platters for use requiring no deposit or return.

DROP OFF - We can provide you with lunch boxes, small and elaborate buffets, whatever you desire...at your location. Delivery and Deposit fees may apply. We can come back and pick-up our platters, etc. for an additional fee.

RENTALS - Any items needed for your event such as forks, plates, napkins, table cloths, buffet linens, "real" flowers for buffet, glasses, chafing dishes, etc. are "rentals", all of which the client is responsible for. We can help with this as far as vendors, delivery, etc.

FULL SERVICE CATERING - We can provide a service staff for your event, the staff is guaranteed at least 5 hours of work. Off premise events usually entail more set-up time, break down and all staff members return to the cafe, unload, clean-up and go home. We hire one server for every 20 guests you have to ensure a perfect event.

OFF SITE CATERING - We can cater at your favorite space. We've been doing amazing events for over 14 years, all around the Kansas City Metro area. Buffet or Full-Service. We can do whatever you dream.
EVENT PLANNING - Tim Colley (manager of the Bird Sings boutique next to our cafe) is Unity Temple's event planner and designer. He has an extensive history of planning and designing. His heart is huge and empowers his creative imagination to produce the very best, completely personal, event for you and your guests.

Here is a sample of the cost breakdown for a 100 person, fully catered 3 hour wedding reception:

* These are minimum costs for a FULLY CATERED WEDDNG RECEPTION. Keep in mind that there will be a minimum 2 hour set-up and 1 hour breakdown, before and after the event. This equals 6 hours of actual catering time for your event.
