Events

There is no aspect of planning your wedding or event in which we are not experienced – from catering, event locations, tents, entertainment, flowers, decor and much more. If you’re envisioning a rustic North Fork vineyard wedding with food trucks, a black tie Hamptons event at a private mansion or a clam bake with your closest friends on the beach in Montauk

– Art of Eating can bring your vision to life –

Event Planning

Events require a lot of planning and it takes a bit of creative know-how to perfectly execute an off-premise event. Let us handle the process. We offer full-service event and wedding planning, month of planning and also day-of-coordination to make sure everything goes exactly how you imagined it.

Rentals

Off-premise events require everything to be brought in from your catering company and an event rental company. We work closely with our rental specialists to make sure all the rentals you need – and plenty of ones you may not have even thought of –  make it on site, on time and in perfect condition.

Entertainment

Are you interested in a string quartet for your wedding ceremony, a lively event DJ, a full band performing? We believe that music is an important part of any event and love finding the right fit for you and your guests. We even have interactive entertainment options to suit your theme – stilt walkers, synchronized swimmers, carnival midways –  you name it, we’ve figured out a way to bring it to an event.

Your event, wedding or ceremony tents are the most important aspect of arranging an off-premise, outdoor event.
