In 2025, Catering Connection joined forces with Schaffer, a hospitality, catering, and events company founded in Los Angeles in 2008. Schaffer was born from the vision of two culinary innovators: a classically trained fine dining chef who helmed some of the world’s most celebrated kitchens, and an award-winning chef behind private events for New York’s—and the world’s—most discerning clientele. Together, they set out to bring the precision, creativity, and elegance of fine dining into the event world.

That vision lives on through a team whose collective experience spans Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe, iconic venues across North America, and leadership roles throughout the hotel, food, and beverage industries. With more than one million hours of combined expertise, they have the depth and skill to execute events of any scale—without sacrificing the boutique, hands-on spirit that defines their work.

By integrating Catering Connection into the Schaffer family, we’ve become part of something exceptional. The dedication, creativity, and craft of the Catering Connection team continue to inspire us. This isn’t just a business—it’s a community of talented professionals who bring artistry, warmth, and excellence to every event.

From inventive chefs and cocktail virtuosos to creative producers and strategic thinkers: genius is served—on and off the plate.
