The Curated Co

The Curated Co is a catering business in Charlotte, North Carolina, that specializes in grazing, a dining style built on boards, platters and buffets instead of plated courses. It serves weddings in Charlotte and beyond.

LGBTQ+ couples

The Curated Co is LGBTQ+-owned. Grazing suits many couples who want a reception that feels like a party rather than a fixed ritual: guests move, mingle and eat when they like, and nobody is seated by a set pattern.

The grazing approach

The team uses high-quality ingredients sourced from local farms and bakeries. Boards, platters and buffets can be customized to your preferences and budget, and desserts can be requested alongside the savory spread.

• Boards and platters with customizable ingredients
• Buffet setups for larger groups
• Dessert options
• Delivery and setup for weddings
• Cleanup available on request

Delivery, setup and cleanup are worth asking about early, because they shape how much your venue or your friends will need to do.

Questions to ask a caterer

A grazing menu still needs planning. Ask how much food is recommended per guest at your reception, and whether the spread replaces dinner or sits alongside it. Check how the team keeps cold items cold and how long food can sit out safely at your venue.

Share dietary needs at the start, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergy requirements, so that boards can be labeled clearly. Ask whether the venue permits outside caterers, and whether table space, power or refrigeration is available.
