Every name on this page has been personally vetted by our team. They know our property, share our standards, and have a proven track record of excellence.
When you choose a Master of Hospitality, you pay no venue premium — just a flat $750 coordination fee added to your event total. Outside caterers are welcome too, but carry an additional 20% venue premium. The real advantage of our Masters is the relationship: they know our garden, our flow, and our standards.
Browse our network and choose the team that speaks to your vision. Prefer to bring your own caterer? You’re welcome to — just bring them licensed, insured, and ready to do great work. The best event is the one that reflects you, not a formula.
