Private and Social
Event Catering
Every private event deserves to feel personal. At Crafted Catering and Events, we create thoughtful, chef-led experiences for small gatherings, private dinners, and milestone celebrations across Upstate New York. Whether you’re hosting friends at home, celebrating a birthday in Saratoga, or gathering family in the Hudson Valley, we bring restaurant-quality food and full-service hospitality to your space.
We believe private events should feel effortless for you and unforgettable for your guests. From menu design and staffing to setup and cleanup, our team handles every step with care and precision. You can focus on the celebration while we focus on the details.
Chef-Led, Locally Inspired
Every Crafted menu starts with what’s in season and what feels right for the occasion. Our culinary team sources ingredients from farms and purveyors throughout the Capital Region, the Hudson Valley, Vermont, and the Berkshires, designing dishes that balance comfort, creativity, and flavor.
Our chefs bring the same attention to detail to a ten-person dinner as they do to a two-hundred-person event. You’ll taste it in the preparation, the presentation, and the way every plate arrives at the perfect temperature and timing.
If you have a favorite ingredient, dish, or family recipe, we’ll find a way to make it part of your menu. For us, that’s what it means to be truly tailored.
Sample Private Event Menu
Each menu reflects the season and the story behind your event. While no two menus are the same, here’s an example of what a Crafted private gathering might look like.
Where We Serve
Crafted Catering and Events proudly serves clients throughout the Capital Region, Hudson Valley, Vermont, and Berkshires. We frequently cater in-home dinners, garden parties, and intimate gatherings in Albany, Troy, Saratoga, and Hudson. For clients in Western Massachusetts, including Lenox and Great Barrington, we offer full-service private dining experiences.
We also travel to Lake George and surrounding destinations for select events. If you’re unsure whether your location is within our service area, our team is happy to discuss logistics and availability.
Why Clients Choose Crafted
Our clients tell us they appreciate the experienced, professional energy our team brings to their homes. They trust us to manage timing, flow, and presentation so the evening feels seamless. They know the food will be exceptional, but it’s the experience of being cared for that truly defines a Crafted event.
We don’t see private dining as casual catering. We see it as an opportunity to create a restaurant experience that happens to take place in a private space.
