Holiday Parties
Every holiday. Every tradition. Every table — yours.
The holidays are the most anticipated gatherings of the year — and at Darling Dear, we're here for all of them. From the warmth of Thanksgiving to the sparkle of New Year's Eve, the sweetness of Valentine's Day to the smoke and sizzle of the Fourth of July, we design menus that honor the moment and the people around your table.
We cater every major US holiday with the same bespoke approach: a menu built entirely around your gathering, your traditions, and your guests. Whether you're hosting an intimate family dinner or a large-scale celebration, we craft each event from scratch — no two holiday menus are ever the same.
Our holiday catering calendar covers: New Year's Eve & New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa.
Holiday dates book far in advance. We recommend reaching out 6–10 weeks ahead to secure your preferred date and allow time for menu development.
