Our Commitment

For 17 years, Holly Tate Fine Catering has been the choice of discerning clients who believe that food should be the highlight of their event—not just an afterthought. Chef-owned and driven by a passion for culinary excellence, we craft menus that defy expectations, leaving guests saying, “This doesn’t taste like wedding food.” Because it isn’t.

Our commitment is simple: exceptional ingredients, masterful preparation, and flawless execution. Every dish is designed to delight, from perfectly seared filet to delicate, hand-crafted canapés. The flavors are bold, the plating is stunning, and the experience is nothing short of extraordinary.

But an unforgettable meal is only part of the equation. Service is what transforms a good event into a seamless, luxurious experience. While most couples don’t consider it until the big day, our staff is the quiet heartbeat of your celebration—anticipating needs before they arise, ensuring every guest feels attended to, and maintaining an atmosphere of effortless elegance. No one cares for your guests like we do.

For those who want their wedding to be remembered for its warmth, sophistication, and culinary brilliance, Holly Tate Fine Catering is more than a caterer—we are your partner in creating an event where every detail, every bite, and every moment is exceptional.

Chef Ben

Owner and Chef

With 25 years of professional cooking experience, Chef Ben is the driving force behind the unforgettable cuisine at Holly Tate Fine Catering. From fast-casual roots in Mexican, Greek, and Italian kitchens to the world of fine dining, his journey has honed a rare balance of precision, creativity, and efficiency. For the past 15 years, he has led our culinary team, ensuring that every plate served is not just exceptional—but flawless.

What sets Chef Ben apart? His unwavering commitment to perfection. He is the chef who will cook 300 steaks to perfection—each one just as impeccably done as the last. He’s the one who will create a silky, exquisite mushroom risotto for 450 guests, never sacrificing flavor, texture, or temperature. Every bite matters to him because he knows food is the soul of an event—the detail guests remember long after the last dance.

But it’s not just about technical skill. Chef Ben is relentless in his pursuit of guest satisfaction. He simply will not allow a dish to leave the kitchen unless it meets his exacting standards. Disappointment is not an option. His team is trained in this philosophy—every course, every garnish, every element of the meal must be executed with the same level of care and excellence.

When you choose Holly Tate Fine Catering, you’re not just hiring a catering company—you’re securing Chef Ben’s expertise, precision, and dedication. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a 500-guest celebration, he brings the same passion to every plate. If you want food that will truly impress, you need Chef Ben at the helm of your event.

Our Team

At Holly Tate Fine Catering, impeccable food is just the beginning. What truly elevates an event is seamless, gracious service—and that’s where our team shines.

Unlike traditional catering companies that rely on career hospitality workers, we hand-select our staff from professional industries—doctors’ offices, banks, and corporate administrative roles. These are individuals who naturally understand efficiency, discretion, and impeccable manners. They bring a level of professionalism and poise that sets us apart.

Our team works evenings and weekends, avoiding the exhaustion and burnout that plague the hospitality industry. Instead of catering feeling like a job, it feels like an event they get to be part of. They love the energy of a celebration, the camaraderie of working together, and the satisfaction of ensuring every guest feels cared for.

The result? A team that anticipates needs before guests even realize them. Water glasses are refilled without request, plates are cleared effortlessly, and every interaction is polished yet warm. Service feels natural, never forced—because our staff are professionals who understand how to make people feel at ease.

This is the Holly Tate Fine Catering service secret!
