Private Event Catering in Salt Lake City & Utah County
Not every great event is a corporate one. Calico Custom caters private gatherings across Salt Lake and Utah counties, bringing the same handcrafted charcuterie experience to the moments that matter most to your family and friends. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, a graduation party, a baby shower, an anniversary dinner, or an intimate gathering at home, we show up with the boards, the food, and the service to make it feel like someone actually planned it. We even do real estate open house catering!
Our Intimate Events package is built for private gatherings of 20–40 guests, and it includes something no other caterer offers: your guests keep the serving board and a personalized branded coaster as a keepsake from the event. It’s the kind of detail that turns a great party into something people remember. Private event catering starts at $50/guest and includes 1–2 servers, a 2–2.5 hour service window, and a fully customizable menu.
Note: We do not currently book weddings.
A Catering Experience Built Around the Board
Here’s what makes a Calico Custom event different from calling a restaurant and ordering a platter. We use our own patented serving boards that are designed to move, refill, and live in the middle of the room rather than pushed to the side. Guests serve themselves, refill naturally, and the board becomes part of the atmosphere rather than a logistical afterthought.
We call it bottomless charcuterie because we mean it. Your guests won’t be staring at an empty spread halfway through the event. We keep it full, keep it fresh, and keep things moving, so you can stay focused on your people.
Customizable Catering Menus for Every Event
Charcuterie & Appetizers
You choose 12 food items from our menu, such as meats like salami, peppered salami, summer sausage, and pepperoni; cheeses including cheddar, pepperjack, mozzarella, and parmesan; fruits like strawberries, grapes, blueberries, and apple slices; veggies, olives, nuts, and crackers. Plus 3 dips. We have ranch, cream cheese fruit dip, honey, jam, mustard, or chocolate sauce. We also throw in a Chef’s Choice item, which is usually something seasonal or premium that we don’t reveal ahead of time. People love it.
Desserts
Chocolate covered pretzels, mini chocolate chip cookies, almond bark, chocolate covered almonds, chocolate covered berry bites, and mini meringues. Finished, not an afterthought.
Drink Packages
Add a drink package for $3/guest and choose from a Wine & Cider Bar (we serve non-alcoholic cider), a Coffee & Tea Bar, a Dirty Soda Bar, or a Mimosa Bar. Water is always included. We set up and serve whatever you bring. We just don’t sell alcohol.
