| in 1985, after a brief stint on wall street, peter callahan started callahan catering. peter grew up in greenwich, ct and spent his summers at georgica association in wainscott long island. currently, peter and his wife, dress designer josephine sasso, divide their time between new york, an historic farm in valley forge, pennsylvania, and a captain's house in the town of nantucket. |
| callahan catering's niche is people who are passionate about their parties and in particular food and design. our clients are well traveled and dine in the best restaurants. we create timeless looks, food the caliber of a five-star restaurant and beautiful design coupled with the best service and flawless execution. we believe food should be entertainment unto itself. |
| we are available to cater events from maine to los angeles, as well as beyond our country's borders. we are based in new york. but also maintain an office and kitchen in our original start of philadelphia. we are the exclusive caterer at The Academy of Natural Sciences which is located next to the four seasons hotel in philadelphia. this museum offers extraordinary settings for corporate, private and charity events for up to 1000 guest reception dinners. |
| one of our most important characteristics is how few events we cater on a given day. we have a large full-time staff of chefs and office personnel typical of a substantial production catering company. by choice, we usually cater only one to two events a day, a key component to producing a remarkable event. we cater primarily large events, such as weddings, landmark birthdays, bar or bat mitzvahs, or other celebrations. |
| often, we are the trusted entity connecting our clients with the appropriate designers, planners, entertainment and tent companies. our clients have the benefit of choosing from many unique locations which are rarely available for events. |
