Effortless Elegance: Catered Cocktail Parties Made Simple
We’ll create a beautifully arranged spread of delicious food for your guests to enjoy at their own pace. In our experience, five savory selections and two dessert bites offer the perfect balance for most gatherings.
Our team handles everything—from food prep and table setup to cleanup during and after the event. Need a bartender? We can arrange that too.

Drop Off Cocktail Party
Want the food without the service? Remove $300 from the service cost, and we’ll come set up your cocktail party, leave everything hot and ready to go!
Want to skip the set-up too? Remove $500 from the service cost and remove the production cost. We’ll deliver your food ready to be reheated with detailed instructions to follow.
Service Cost
Includes shopping, cooking, service, and clean up. All food service is stationary unless an additional server(s) is hired for the passing of food items.
Food/Grocery Cost
Food cost listed is an estimate only and will be adjusted to the actual cost in the final invoice. Should we be under or over budget by more than 20%, you will be notified before the event. We typically shop at Publix, Buford Highway Farmers Market, or Whole Foods, and we maintain a priority on quality and freshness. For larger events, we may utilize our local purveyors.
Production Charge
Covers chafing dishes and serving platters for the serving table, disposable cocktail plates and cocktail napkins, and all equipment set up, take down, and transportation. The production cost also includes menu consult and customization with a dedicated event planner, printed menu tent cards, and votive candles for the food table. Glassware is not included. Should you choose to rent items, please allow us to help coordinate the rental order required.
Beverages
All alcohol and beverages will be provided by the client. APCS will not provide any beverage services unless contracted. Hiring a bartender is strongly recommended for any beverage service (please allow us to help coordinate the bartending service).
Travel Fee
Travel to locations outside the Perimeter or below I-20 will be calculated based on the standard IRS mileage rates of round-trip travel to and from our licensed catering kitchen (3300 Marjan Drive, Atlanta, GA 30340) for each chef or staff member traveling to your location. Availability to travel outside the Perimeter will vary based on schedules and location and may not be able to be accommodated. Parking/valet fees will be charged as incurred.
