Our team brings the kitchen to you - literally. Instead of serving food that’s been plated behind the scenes, your guests enjoy dishes that are cooked fresh, hot, and ready on-site. The result? Every bite tastes just as incredible as it would in a restaurant.
With seven distinct culinary brands, we craft one-of-a-kind dining experiences that match your story and style. Whether it’s the coastal charm of Nor’Eastah, the Latin flair of Papa Grande, the plant-based creativity of Gratefully Fed, or the indulgent comfort of The Big Ragu, we don’t just cater, we curate.
From signature cocktails poured from our Leaki Tiki mobile bar to late-night bites that keep the dance floor alive, we make sure your celebration feels effortless and personal from start to finish. Known for our playful presentation, bold flavors, and restaurant-quality service, Jackaloon Hospitality turns your wedding into an experience guests will talk about long after the last toast.
Here's a bit more about each of our brands:
Nor’Eastah: New England-inspired fare, from Faneuil Hall franks to cider donuts and lobster rolls that transport you straight to the coast. Big group? Try a clambake!
Papa Grande: Latin-inspired tacos, empanadas, and bold flavors that bring energy and color to your celebration.
Gratefully Fed: Creative, plant-based “stoner bites” that prove vegan food can be fun, flavorful, and indulgent.
The Big Ragu: Classic Italian comfort with a modern twist. Think wood-fired pizzas, rich pastas, and crowd-pleasing favorites.
Leaki Tiki: Our mobile bar experience serves up tropical cocktails and custom drink menus made for celebrating.
Saucehound: Slow-smoked BBQ and savory sides that satisfy every guest’s inner foodie. For large weddings, we also offer pig roasts.
Low Country Kin: Celebrating Lowcountry comfort with passed Southern favorites, rich savory stations, and sweet treats rooted in coastal tradition.
