From First Impression to Lasting Memory
For 25 years, The Grand America Hotel has served as the backdrop for intimate gatherings, major conferences, and intricately crafted functions that leave no detail overlooked—including the menu.
Known for its culinary excellence, The Grand America Hotel’s gourmet offerings aren’t limited to Laurel Brasserie. In fact, every event, reception, and meeting gets to savor a taste of what we have to offer at The Grand America through our exceptional catering services. We offer expansive menu options to choose from, and our team is always eager to help you customize your catering to fit your event perfectly.
Catering to Every Palate
No event is the same at The Grand America Hotel, which is why we’ve perfected menus for all times of day, multiple cuisines, and every facet of your imagination. Snack breaks can take on their own theme—from European-inspired flatbreads to festive nacho bars, refined charcuterie boards, and even freshly-baked desserts. Breakfast meetings perk up the whole room with decadent buffets, action stations with smoothies, custom omelets, and freshly-made waffles, while plated breakfasts are also available for a more grounded option.
Lunchtime can be casual or formal to fit your event—either way, everything is made fresh in our scratch kitchen. Multi-course plated lunches serve up freedom to choose from our gourmet salad starters, decadent main plates like Manhattan New York Strip, Pan-Seared Red Snapper, and Vegetable Quinoa Cakes—plus a wide selection of desserts from our in-house pastry chef. Buffets are inspired—Tuscan Table and Mexican Street Market—while to-go options feature solid sandwich staples with vibrant condiments and freshly baked bread.
Evening is where fine dining really shines at The Grand America, starting with the moment your guests arrive. Whether your event calls for passed hors d’oeuvres, a Grand Seafood Display, or Hawaiian Luau station, our catering team can help you pick the perfect starters that’ll set the tone for your event from the first bite. As with all of our events, you can pick whatever format works best for your dinner: buffet, coursed plates, or interactive action stations. Choose from from themes focused on faraway places, or ground down into local delicacies like with our Taste of Utah Dinner Reception. Our Bar Menu also provides several casual options that’ll delight the senses and satisfy your hunger after a long day of activities. If you don’t see something on our expansive menu, its our pleasure to help you customize your catering from initial concept to final tasting.
It’s Your Event, But You’re Always Our Guest
We know that food can make or break an event, which is why we have a dedicated team to making sure everything is thoughtfully planned, meticulously executed, and deliciously memorable. Our Banquets Director Javier Robles has spent more than 23 years as a member of our team, and he knows the secret to making events great. Details that you think one would forget—the type of hors d’oeuvres that delighted your guests at a past event, your speciality drink of choice, or the way you like the party to flow from welcome drinks into seated entrées—Robles remembers it all, for many guests across many decades.
It’s not just the people you meet on the floor, it’s the artists working behind closed doors that make every event sweet. Executive Pastry Chef Xavier Baudinet is known for the artistic mark he leaves on all of our desserts—from perfect eclairs and tarts to decadently crafted panna cottas, mousses, and cheesecakes. It’s just another reason why catering at The Grand America Hotel isn’t just average catering service—it’s a world class culinary institution serving up excellence at every event.
We know planning events can be overwhelming, and our team is here to make sure it is a seamless and enjoyable process every step of the way. At The Grand America, you’re not just here as a temporary guest for an event—you’re a guest we’ll always look forward to seeing every time you return.
