The Black Sheep - Graduation 2008

The Black Sheep would like to congratulate you on your upcoming graduation. Our 20 plus years of catering experience will give you the confidence that your graduation party is going to be a smashing success. We have many options to choose from to create a festive & delicious event. Kick off the weekend with a decadent hors d’oeuvres or dessert party. Think that guests will filter in Friday evening? Why not have some platters on hand to greet the hungry travelers OR order some salads & desserts to accompany your pizzas from Antonio’s. Most grads host their flagship event on Saturday night & we have a menu to suit all taste buds. Choose from a southwestern barbeque, a casual fajita party, or a classy grill menu. Hit the road after a Sunday brunch complete with homemade fritatta squares, fresh morning pastries, juices, & coffee.

Enclosed you will find some sample suggested menus for the entire weekend. These menus are not set in stone & can be adjusted to fit both your style & budget. We have also enclosed an estimate for rentals & can guide you to a local rental company should you desire to use china, flatware, & linens at your event.

Please feel free to call or email with any questions, or place your deposit. A deposit is typically 25% of the estimated total balance. The menu & details do not need to be finalized at the time the deposit is made. The deposit simply secures you a reservation on our catering calendar.

We look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for considering The Black Sheep.
