Choices Catering Brokerage, the exclusive event planning company of City of Experts, was formed to revolutionize the world of catering. By helping local caterers concentrate their efforts on what they do best - creating incredible foods; by helping speakers/authors/consultants and coaches focus on what they do best - presenting training sessions, workshops and events; and by helping COE focus on what we do best - making connections for our experts that create successful relationships - Choices Catering Brokerage has turned the catering world upside down. How does it work? Simply make one phone call to Choices. They take it from there. They work within your budget to meet your specific event needs. And best of all, it costs you nothing to use their services. What services do they offer? Event planning; catering; staffing; and venues. Who pays Choices? Their vendors pay Choices. There is no cost to you for their service. How can I get started? Link here for more information about Choices, including their contact information, brochure and menus. Why did COE choose Choices? Because we wanted to create a strategic partnership with a local event planning company that would help COE and our members stay focused on what we do best and leave the details to someone else. We rely on Choices for our networking events, workshops and expos, and you should rely on them for your events also. What benefit is there to use Choices? As a member of COE, we have negotiated a special added bonus. Not only is it easy and hassle free for you to use Choices, you get your DESSERT FREE at your events. This can save you around $2.00 per person and eliminate the decision about what goes in order for you to meet the budget...the nice field green salad or the dessert. Keep them both.
