Why Catering?

After two decades in the restaurant industry, we made the exciting leap into the catering world in 2017. Olmstead Catering was born from our passion for great food and our desire to offer a more personalized experience that larger restaurants simply can't provide.

Catering allows us to focus on what truly matters—crafting exceptional dishes with care and creativity. It's the perfect way for us to bring our unique recipes to life while giving our clients the attention and detail they deserve.

Menu Planning is Our Passion

At Olmstead Catering, we believe great food has the power to turn moments into memories. From intimate weddings to grand celebrations, we craft thoughtful menu plans that reflect each event’s unique energy—whether that means classic comfort food or elevated gourmet dishes and grazing boards designed to impress.

📍Based in the scenic Chippewa Valley of Northwest Wisconsin, we specialize in catering events of every scale, from private chef experiences and corporate functions to high-energy festivals.

Our journey into major event catering began in 2017, when we became the official caterers for Hoofbeat (formerly Country Fest) and Rock Fest—a role we proudly held through 2025. Over those years, we had the opportunity to serve thousands of guests and artists, refine our large-scale operations, and build a reputation for consistency, quality, and heart.

That same year marked the start of another incredible partnership: since 2017, we’ve worked alongside Jesse James Dupree of Jackyl at Sturgis Motorcycle Week, delivering memorable food experiences that match the energy of one of the most iconic motorcycle events in the world.

At the center of it all is our team—the driving force behind every successful event. Their passion and commitment to excellence were recognized when we were named Best Caterer – 2025 (BusinessRate, Chippewa County), an award based entirely on authentic customer feedback.

We’re always ready for new challenges, new ideas, and new adventures—and there’s nothing we love more than bringing people together through great food and genuine hospitality.

Your trust is everything to us, and we’re committed to delivering an experience as extraordinary as the moments you’re celebrating. With our culinary expertise and heartfelt hospitality, we make sure your events are truly unforgettable.
