Who we are

OFTEN was born of the notion that the same elevated menus and service you receive in a fine dining restaurant could be brought to your home, wedding, or corporate event. With over 30 years of collective experience in the hospitality industry, our Chef David Matus and Service Manager Emma Backer have taken the best practices from their time spent in restaurants to deliver you the highest level of event food service available. We offer customized event planning and tailored menus with a personal touch to cater to your unique and individual tastes. This thoughtful approach inspires us to develop our concept continually, and we can not wait to share it with you.
