Full-Service Wedding Catering in Raleigh & the Triangle

Finding a wedding caterer involves more than choosing a few entrées. Your catering team must understand the venue, coordinate the service timeline, accommodate your guests and deliver the same food quality at your reception that you experienced during the planning process.

Under the Oak Catering combines locally sourced ingredients, scratch cooking and experienced hospitality service to create a more personal wedding dining experience.

Instead of forcing your celebration into a one-size-fits-all package, we help you select the menu, service style and beverage experience that fit your venue, guest count, traditions and priorities.

Because our chefs prepare food from scratch whenever possible, we can customize menus and accommodate most dietary restrictions while still creating a cohesive experience for all your guests. Under the Oak also prepares food onsite or as close to serving time as the venue and event format allow.

Corporate Event Types

  • Give your team something better than another forgettable lunch order.

    Choose from drop-off buffets, fresh salads, entrées, sides, displays, platters and customized lunch selections for team meetings, department lunches and employee appreciation meals.

    Ask about sandwich catering and convenient weekday options for your office.

  • Start an early meeting with a catered spread that is easy to serve and substantial enough to keep everyone focused.

    We can help you plan catering for leadership meetings, training sessions, workshops, orientations and company-wide gatherings.

  • An all-day agenda requires more planning than placing a single lunch order.

    Under the Oak can coordinate lunch, breaks and afternoon service around your meeting schedule, guest count and available space. We will also help you account for dietary restrictions before the event begins.

  • Planning for a large audience involves service timing, quantities, traffic flow and staffing—not just selecting a menu.

    Experienced in serving corporate lunches for as many as 1,200 guests.

  • Host a polished client reception, company milestone, awards dinner, grand opening or employee appreciation event without managing multiple food and beverage vendors.

    Add passed hors d’oeuvres, displays, dinner service, desserts, bartenders or a custom beverage package.

    We offer custom holiday menus, full-service catering, hors d’oeuvres, dinner stations, plated meals, desserts, beer and wine, full bar packages, signature cocktails and alcohol-free mocktails.
