The Bizzy Butler purchases the food required for your party and prepares the appetizers in your home or venue to ensure that your guests will receive the freshest product. We typically arrive the day prior to the party to start the initial prep work and return on the day of the party to finalize the cooking and attend to last minute details. We bring all the supplies required for preparation of the food as well as platters for service. |

Your kitchen will be left nice and clean! |
