Occasions Caterers: Unforgettable Events with Creative Flair
Outlook: Washington DC Business Profiles

Over the past 20
years, catering one affair at a time,
Occasions Caterers has grown into
Washington, D.C.’s premier catering
company. Culinary excellence has been
a driving force all along, but great
food is only half of the story. A
keen sense of style, dedication to
customers, attention to detail and
the utmost professionalism have all
contributed to Occasions’ success—and
to the success of their clients’
events. Led by twin brothers Mark
and Eric Michael, Occasions adds an
unforgettable creative flair to galas
and fundraisers, weddings, private
gatherings, and corporate events.
With a mastery of traditional, eclectic
and international cuisines as diverse
as their clientele, Occasions’
chefs often impress even the most
discerning palettes. “A cosmopolitan
city like Washington demands great
versatility,” says Mark. “Our
staff includes chefs who are expert
in the cuisine of every major world
region. They prepare diverse international
menus on a daily basis. We enjoy creating
the perfect menu for each event, whether
the guests are local or from dozens
of different countries.”
An Eye for
Every Detail
To help make each event a success
for all five senses, Occasions makes
a point of working with partners who
share the same creativity, professionalism
and dedication to their craft. From
florists and live entertainment to
photographers and videographers, Occasions
partners with Washington’s best.
“We have longstanding relationships
with the area’s finest event
planners and vendors,” Mark
says. “We help our clients select
the appropriate professionals for
each event, matching a particular
vendor with what the client wants
to achieve.”
Occasions has grown
large enough to cater very large gatherings—up
to 10,000 guests— efficiently
and thoroughly but has retained the
client-focused approach that has always
guided the company. “We pride
ourselves on being a pleasure to deal
with,” Mark says. “Our
clients trust us to follow through
with a high level of professionalism.
And they rely on us to bring fresh
ideas and a sense of creativity to
each event.”
