Wedding Catering Serving Raleigh, NC From a Kitchen That Has Been Doing This for 20 Years
Jasmin & Olivz is our in-house catering brand, built on more than two decades in the catering and restaurant industry. Plated dinners, buffets, stations, and passed service for up to 200 guests, prepared in the same building your celebration happens in.
Five Ways to Serve People
How food reaches the table shapes a celebration more than the menu does. Here is how each style tends to play out.
Plated Service
Courses brought to seated guests. The most formal option and the easiest to time around a program, because service pauses when you need the room’s attention. Best for weddings, galas, and anniversary dinners.
Buffet
Guests serve themselves from stations along one side of the hall. Faster than people expect with 200 guests, and it suits crowds who want to move around. Popular for Walima receptions, corporate lunches, and large family celebrations.
The Full Week
Platters placed at each round table for guests to pass. Warmer than plated, more relaxed than buffet, and it makes a room of strangers talk to each other within about four minutes. Works beautifully at rehearsal dinners and cultural celebrations.
Passed Appetizers
Servers circulate with trays during cocktail hour. Keeps people standing, mingling, and moving between the patio and the main hall rather than settling into one seat too early.
Stations
Separate displays set around the room, each with its own focus. Good for mixed guest lists, dietary variety, and celebrations where the food is meant to be part of the entertainment.
Full Service Wedding Catering and a Venue Under One Roof Near Raleigh, NC
Most weddings run two contracts. One with a venue, one with a caterer, and a couple in the middle hoping the two of them talk to each other. When they do not, the salad course lands in the middle of a speech and nobody remembers why the evening felt rushed.
Jasmin & Olivz exists to remove that problem entirely. It is our own catering brand, exclusive to our venue in Cary, NC, staffed by people who have worked more than 20 years across catering and restaurant kitchens. The kitchen team and the venue team share a schedule, a run of show, and a manager. Courses land between moments rather than through them.
That is what a full service catering and venue in one place actually buys you. Not a shortcut. Timing.
It also works the other way around. If your family already has a caterer they trust, particularly for a cultural wedding, you keep them. Skip ahead to our outside catering policy
Menus Built Around What You Are Actually Hosting
We do not hand out one menu and ask you to work around it. Every proposal starts from your celebration, your headcount, and your guest list.
Wedding Catering
Couples looking for wedding catering in the Raleigh, NC area usually need three things handled in sequence: cocktail hour, dinner, and late night. We build all three as one timeline, including the plates set aside for a couple who will otherwise forget to eat. Dietary requests from the guest list are collected during planning rather than discovered on the night. See our wedding venue near Raleigh, NC
Arab and Middle Eastern Celebrations
Halal preparation, mezze and grill service, and menus built for a full Walima reception rather than a short seating. Families searching for a halal catering friendly venue in the Raleigh, NC area find both paths open here: our kitchen can accommodate halal requirements, or your own halal caterer is welcome with a certificate of insurance. We ask about requirements at the first conversation rather than treating them as adjustments made later. Visit our Arab wedding venue in the Raleigh area
​South Asian and Desi Weddings
Mehndi, Nikkah, Sangeet, Walima, and reception each carry their own service expectations, and a single evening menu rarely covers all of them. Most families arrive with a Desi caterer they have used for years, and as an Indian catering friendly wedding venue in the Raleigh, NC area, we make that straightforward rather than awkward. Our team still handles linens, cutlery, and floor service. Visit our South Asian wedding venue near Raleigh
Quinceanera Catering
A full evening of dining and dancing for up to 200 guests, with the timing built around the entrance, the vals, and the toasts rather than cutting across them. In house menus or your own caterer, whichever the family prefers. See our quinceanera venue near Raleigh NC
Corporate Catering
Breakfast meetings, working lunches, plated dinners, and reception service for companies across Wake County. Timing is the whole game here. Service moves during transitions and stops during presentations, and we plan that from your agenda rather than guessing at it. View our corporate event space
Banquet and Large Format
Banquet catering for gatherings in the Cary, North Carolina area, scaled for a full 200 guest room. If you are looking for catering for 200 guests in NC, this is the part most kitchens quietly struggle with. Buffets and stations that clear without a queue forming, and plated service that reaches the last table while the first table’s food is still hot.
Tell Us the Restrictions Before You Tell Us the Menu
Every guest list has them. Allergies, vegetarian and vegan guests, gluten requirements, halal preparation, kosher considerations, Jain and satvik requests, and the relative whose situation everyone in the family already knows about.
We would rather build the menu around those from the first conversation than adapt it in the last week. It costs nothing to plan for and it changes the experience completely for the guests it affects, who are usually accustomed to being handed a plain plate while everyone else eats properly.
If a requirement falls outside what our kitchen can guarantee, we will tell you plainly and help you arrange an outside caterer for that portion. Being honest about it is more useful to you than being agreeable.
Beverage Service From Cocktail Hour to the Last Song
Our state of the art bar is built into the venue with a sink, an ice container, and refrigeration, so beverage service runs without an outside supplier or a folding table pretending to be a bar.
The venue also includes dedicated catering, cocktail, and display areas, which sounds like a technical detail until you have watched a room where service and guests share the same three feet of floor. Separating those keeps queues short, service quiet, and your guests moving.
​
Prefer Your Own Caterer? Bring Them
Plenty of venues with an in-house kitchen quietly make outside catering impossible. We take the opposite position, and we would rather state it plainly here than leave you to discover it during a tour.
Family recipes matter. Halal and Desi caterers who have handled every celebration your family has thrown for twenty years matter. Corporate procurement agreements matter. None of that should collapse because of a room. Anyone searching for a venue that allows outside catering in the Raleigh, NC area can stop searching here.
From First Call to Final Plate
Tell us about the celebration
Headcount, date, event type, and any dietary or cultural requirements. This is a conversation, not a form we hide behind.
We Propose a Menu
Built around your celebration and what you have set aside for it, with the service style recommended for your guest count and program. Nothing padded with items you did not ask about.
We Adjust It
Most menus go through two or three rounds. That is normal and expected, and there is no charge for changing your mind.
Tasting
Available for larger celebrations, arranged once the menu direction is settled so you are tasting real options rather than a sample platter.
Final Numbers
Confirmed guest count and any late dietary additions, usually in the final week.
Catering for Celebrations Across Raleigh, NC and the Triangle
Because Jasmin & Olivz is our in-house catering brand, we serve celebrations held at our venue rather than delivering across the region. What that means practically is that guests travel to us, and they come from all over the Triangle.
Companies booking corporate catering at a venue in the Wake County, NC area reach us easily, and families looking at event catering in the Morrisville, NC area are minutes away. Guests from Apex, Chapel Hill, Durham, Wake Forest, Garner, Holly Springs, and Fuquay Varina do the same drive without complaint, which tracks with the fact that nearly all of our inquiries come from within a 35 mile radius.
Anyone searching specifically for Jasmin and Olivz Catering in the Cary, NC area will find us here, at the venue, where the kitchen actually is.

What we ask for
A certificate of insurance. That is the requirement in full.
What you still receive from us
• Table linens and tablecloths
• Cutlery
• Our chairs and tables
• Access to the catering, cocktail, and display areas
• The bar
• Our service staff for the duration of your celebration
That last part surprises people. Bringing an outside caterer does not strip your booking down to an empty room. The service is still ours, the setup is still ours, and the night still runs the way it would otherwise.
