Carpe Diem Caterers has been catering Charlotte weddings, social, and corporate events for 22 years. In fact, we were caterers before we opened our restaurant. We specialize in delicious custom menus that help to make your event a culinary experience. Whether you prefer action stations, small plates, buffets, or seated dinners, we can deliver restaurant quality food to your event. Carpe Diem Caterers is a preferred vendor for many of Charlotte’s art museums including the Mint Museum Uptown, Mint Museum Randolph, and the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art.

Our restaurant is also available for receptions during the day and on Sundays for up to 200 guests depending on the type of seating needed. A private room is available in the evenings for meetings or rehearsal dinners of up to 38 guests.

At Carpe Diem, we take pride in providing you with gracious service. We want you to leave happy and satisfied, so all our staff are here to insure an auspicious experience. We, the proprietors, sisters Tricia Maddrey and Bonnie Warford, are from Miami, Florida. Our interest in food grew from a love of the Latin and tropical flavors that influenced us growing up. These culinary influences have shaped our version of “new American” cuisine. When dining with us, we want you to truly “seize the moment” and let us take care of the details.
