Quality and Presentation Matters
The food is going to be the focal point of your event so ensure you entrust an experienced, local caterer who uses quality ingredients and places an importance on presentation. Take advantage of being on the Gulf Coast and give your guests a true taste of the Emerald Coast by using a caterer that uses fresh, local Gulf seafood. Offer flavorful and unique menu options that will ‘wow’ your guests. SunQuest’s chefs create their menus around the type of fresh seafood that is available each week from local seafood markets. Some of SunQuest’s seafood specialties include Southern Crab Bites, Smoked Tuna Dip, Shrimp and Grits and much more.
SunQuest’s chefs place just as much importance to the presentation as the food itself. From casual yet professional set ups of our Drop and Go Menu to creative catering options, the sky’s the limit for what we can create. Dishes become art for the palette with colorful garnishes and beautifully plated coastal cuisines. Creative menu options include Mac n Cheese Martinis, Slider Stations, Taco Bars and much more.
