November 3, 2025 | Lauren Windle
Our in-the-know event planners tell us that featuring hors d’oeuvresonly at all kinds of events is trending.
Why? Because hors d’oeuvres (French translation: “outside the works” or “apart from the main course”) can be fun, versatile and easy on the host.
Trending and easy? To that we say, tres bien!
Jacquie’s Gourmet Catering has all kinds of yummy ways make your small plate party gourmet-savvy and please as many palates as possible.
Since food items are smaller in size, you can increase the diversity of your offerings. Hot or cold appetizers – yes to both!
