Hi! I'm Becca Byrne, a hospitality professional with over 20 years experience across New England. Skilled in the anticipation of clients' needs, I am here to listen to your vision, ask the right questions and help curate your menu, timeline, and logistics to execute a seamless experience.

As a child my Mom ran her own catering company out of our home kitchen, so working with Chef Frank and Marnie feels like home to me. I love watching the heart they put into each service because I too have a deep affinity for throwing the best party, serving the best food, and making your experience truly unforgettable.

I look forward to the opportunity to help you host an amazing event.
