We had the honor of catering The Chicago Lighthouse’s 120th Anniversary Gala at the Art Institute of Chicago — an evening that brought together meaningful storytelling, thoughtful hospitality, and celebration in one unforgettable setting.
From passed bites and beautifully plated courses to cocktails in the Modern Wing surrounded by art and city views, every detail was designed to reflect the energy and significance of the night.
A celebration of legacy, impact, and the people helping shape what’s next.
