Miami Plate Catering is a South Florida catering company with 10+ years in catering. We cook for weddings, office lunches, yacht days, private chef dinners and family parties across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, the Florida Keys and the Treasure Coast, and we plan every event in English and Spanish.
- A team built for each event. A chef, an event coordinator, cooks, servers and bartenders work your event, with about one team member for every 25 guests.
- Our own vehicles. We deliver the food ourselves, in our own vehicles.
- Two languages. Plan your event, read your quote and ask your questions in English or Español.
- A coordinator who answers. We reply within an hour during business hours and send a full quote within 24 hours.
- Based in Aventura. Our address is 3285 NE 184th St, Aventura, FL 33160.
On event day, our team loads the vehicles, drives to your venue, sets up the serving area, serves your guests and cleans up after ourselves. The menu runs from BBQ, grill and paella to Caribbean, Cuban, Brazilian, Greek, vegan, tacos and desserts, and every full-service menu is priced per guest, so you know the rate before you decide.
