Galas & fundraisers · Up to 1,200 seated
Every table served.
Before the program starts.
Fundraisers, galas, the company's big night. A plated dinner timed to your program, a staffed bar, and one point of contact from the first call to the last chair.
How the day runs
Start to finish
Cocktail hour
Passed bites and a raw bar while the room fills and the silent auction does its work.
Dinner
Plated, so the room is fed before anyone takes the stage.
The program
We work to your run of show. Plates land before the speeches and clear after, not over the microphone.
Late night
Late-night boxes at the door for everyone heading home.
Where to start
Start from one of our menus
Most galas get a menu written for the night. Start from a menu package, or tell us the room and we write one.

Good questions
Asked by every
gala committee.
A gala runs on a program, so we do too. Plates down before the speeches and cleared after, a staffed bar, and one contact from the first call to the last chair. Up to 1,200 seated.
What do you bring, and what do you need from us?
We bring: Captains, servers, and a staffed bar. Rentals, linens, and the timeline, coordinated with your venue. Dietary needs tracked by guest. A full breakdown after the last guest.
From you: The run of show. The room. The final count three weeks out.
How does booking work?
- Tell us the date. A few picks in the planner, or one email. Headcount and the place if you have them.
- Get the proposal. A menu built for your crowd within two business days. We shape it with you until it's right.
- Hold the date. Sign and put down 50%. The date is yours, and nobody else gets it.
- Show up hungry. Final counts three weeks out, the balance two weeks out. We work to your run of show with your venue and committee. You run the room.
One contract for everyone, and the full terms are public on the contract page. No surprises on the invoice.
How many can you seat?
Up to 1,200 seated. More hands on the big nights, the same kitchen behind every plate.
Do you work with our venue?
Rentals, linens, and the timeline, coordinated with your venue. Certificates of insurance and a W-9 on request.
What does it cost?
Every gala gets its own proposal, built to the room and the program. Pick a budget range in the planner and we build to it.
How do we reach you?
A few quick picks in the planner, or one email to gather@stokedcatering.com. A proposal comes back within two business days.
