Good food, responable price

Light house was very professional, well organized, and already familiar with our venue. They were a well oil machine who navigated the event well. We would hire again for sure.

Highly recommend

Great food!s Professional staff! Very helpful before the big day and so wonderful on that day. I had so many people say how much they loved the buffet idea so they could have what they were in the mood to have, how delicious everything was, and how nice the caterers were.
