Catering a Stylish Gathering for Jack and Jill in Beverly Hills
At A La Mode Catering, we’re all about creating experiences that taste as good as they look—and this recent event for the West Los Angeles chapter of Jack and Jill of America was no exception.
Set in a beautiful event space in Beverly Hills, the gathering brought together members for a day of seminars, conversations, and community. While they focused on learning and connection, we made sure the food kept them fueled and refreshed.
A Chic, Functional Setup for a Professional Gathering
Because the event was centered around conference sessions and networking, the catering setup needed to be both beautiful and functional. We arranged our spread on a large kitchen island, creating a clean and accessible layout that allowed guests to help themselves during breaks without crowding or disruption.
The display featured our signature white box risers, which gave height and depth to the setup, and we added green garlands for a soft, natural touch. The result was a clean, polished aesthetic that paired perfectly with the upscale Beverly Hills venue.
This layout wasn’t just about looks—it made the entire meal flow smoothly, offering guests a clear, organized selection of thoughtfully prepared bites and refreshments.
A Fresh, Flavorful Menu for a Full Day
For this event, we crafted a balanced menu that was light, flavorful, and designed to work well for a day of learning and professional interaction. We focused on shareable portions, vibrant colors, and satisfying textures, offering a variety of both savory and sweet items that guests could enjoy throughout the day.
Here’s what we served:
🥗 Salads & Light Bites
-
Kale and Quinoa Salad – A hearty and healthy mix of kale, quinoa, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds, tossed in a light vinaigrette. Packed with flavor and nutrition to keep energy levels up.
-
Pasta Salad – A classic side with a colorful mix of veggies, pasta spirals, and a zesty Italian-style dressing—always a reliable crowd-pleaser.
-
Caprese Skewers – Cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil on skewers with a touch of balsamic glaze. A bright, elegant bite that’s perfect for grazing.
🥪 Sandwich Selections

Blue Fruit Punch – A colorful, refreshing drink that added a fun pop to the spread. Sweet, tangy, and just the right touch of whimsy for an otherwise elegant setup.
A Menu That Kept Guests Energized
Because this event spanned several hours and included sessions, breaks, and networking, it was important for the food to be versatile, low-maintenance, and energizing. Guests needed items they could easily grab and enjoy while chatting or preparing for the next speaker, and our menu delivered just that.
Each dish was carefully portioned, beautifully arranged, and packed with flavor—making it easy for attendees to stay focused on the day while still enjoying every bite.
Matching the Jack and Jill Vibe
The West LA chapter of Jack and Jill of America is known for its strong sense of community, excellence, and leadership, and we wanted the catering to reflect that same level of care and intentionality.
From the fresh ingredients to the elegant yet simple display, we focused on a style that felt welcoming, refined, and easy to enjoy. The white box display and greenery added just the right amount of formality, while still feeling light and organic. It was a perfect match for the tone of the event—professional yet personal.
Why Kitchen Island Catering Works for Events Like This
Using a central kitchen island for the catering setup is a great solution for events like seminars, conferences, or retreats. It allows for:
-
Flow and accessibility – Guests can approach from all sides.
-
Better spacing – No long buffet lines or bottlenecks.
-
Natural interaction – Encourages guests to move, mingle, and eat at their own pace.
It’s a format that keeps everything casual but organized, and it works beautifully in more intimate, indoor settings like this Beverly Hills event space.
