With the excitement of a new year ahead of us, we wanted to take a look back at some of the moments that made 2013 such a special year for Serves You Right! Catering. The following are a few of our favorite events from the past year.
Helmut Newton Exhibition Opening at the Annenberg Space for Photography
Serves You Right! Catering was honored to produce and cater the opening of the Helmut Newton Exhibition at the Annenberg Space for Photography. Inspired by Newton’s iconic fashion
photographs, we created an ambiance of beauty, elegance and
sophistication with the help of chandeliers, champagne cocktails and
model wait staff.

Serves You Right! Catering is proud to be a preferred vendor at the Annenberg Community Beach House. This summer we catered a beautiful beachside wedding reception at the Marion Davies Guest House. Serves You Right tapped Sweet Pea's Custom Floral to design beautiful coastal inspired arrangements for the ceremony and reception. In lieu of traditional cake cutting, the newlyweds torched a large version of their favorite dessert, crème brûlée.
Rustic-Elegant Outdoor Wedding
We were delighted to collaborate with Jowy Productions on several events in 2013. One of our favorite events was a wedding we catered for a very special client's daughter. The bride and groom envisioned an evening of rustic elegance, and we enjoyed executing their vision throughout our menu. From ‘herbaltini’ cocktails to an abundant cheese station, we were able to creatively incorporate the theme.
Marshall School of Business Fundraising Event
We were thrilled to cater a fundraiser for the Marshall School of Business this year. The event was a great success with a special performance from Grammy Award Winning Performance Artist, LeAnn Rimes. The outdoor celebration was filled with warmth, laughter and of course, the Trojan colors: cardinal and gold.
First Republic Bank Cocktail Reception
at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts
In October we catered a beautiful cocktail reception for First Republic Bank, which celebrated a 'Night of Fashion and Wonder'. This was an inaugural event at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, in its beautiful 1933 historic Beverly Hills Post Office building and courtyard. We created French themed food stations, which matched the tone of the evening.

Within one week we had the privilege of serving not one president, but TWO! We catered an elegant dinner in honor of 43rd
President George W. Bush and former First Lady, Laura Bush. He is the third US
President to receive our SYR signature food and service.
70th Birthday Celebration
We have so much fun coordinating events for our long time clients and friends - especially birthday celebrations! This birthday girl has a wonderfully vibrant personality and that’s exactly what we wanted to shine through at her party. We served her guests a family style meal and finished the night with a dessert buffet, specialty birthday cake and plenty of dancing!
USC Office of the President Holiday Parties
Every holiday season we look forward to catering a series of dinner events for the Office of the President at USC. This year we had an exciting challenge to cater 8 holiday parties in the span of 13 days, serving over 2,300 guests. This big endeavor was an incredible success and we look forward to taking on this challenge again next year!
Corporate Holiday Party in Marina Del Rey
Last, but not least, we closed 2013 by producing and catering a company holiday party in Marina Del Rey. We transformed the raw office space into a sleek and sophisticated lounge with the help of Rrivre Works Custom Luxury Rentals. To get into the holiday spirit, we made ‘White Christmas Cosmos,’ consisting of vodka, white cranberry juice & Cointreau w/ fresh raspberry and rosemary garnish.
