Catering doesn’t have to be stiff, expensive, or overly formal to make a lasting impression. In fact, some of the most memorable events are the ones that feel relaxed, creative, and thoughtfully curated—especially when food is involved.

Whether you’re planning a small business mixer, client appreciation event, community gathering, or just a casual get-together in the park, charcuterie catering in Crosslake is the perfect way to elevate your event without overcomplicating it.

Why Charcuterie Works for Any Crowd

Let’s face it—people love grazing. Charcuterie boards offer variety, interaction, and visual appeal all in one bite-sized package. But it’s more than a trend. Here’s why it works:

• Flexible for any group size — from 10 to 50+
• Naturally accommodates dietary preferences (gluten-free, vegetarian, nut-free, etc.)
• Visually stunning — perfect for photos and social media sharing
• Zero reheating or full kitchen required — ideal for park setups, retail spaces, or pop-ups
  

It’s communal, approachable, and creates a shared experience that gets people talking—and coming back for seconds.

Perfect for Small Businesses, Not Boardrooms

In a town like Crosslake, the heart of business isn’t high-rise meetings—it’s real connections. Whether you’re:

• A salon or boutique owner hosting a customer appreciation night
• A local shop planning a holiday open house
• A team celebrating a great quarter or year
• Or a real estate agent hosting a private client wine night

…charcuterie catering gives you the quality and polish of a formal spread, without the formality.

Plus, you don’t need to rent a big venue to make it special—we cater on-site at your business, in shared spaces, or even outdoors. We’ve done setups in parks, lakeside lawns, and even back patios.

Customizable for Any Setting

Charcuterie catering is as versatile as the events themselves. Some of the options we offer at UpNorth Social include:

• Individual grazing cups or cones — perfect for standing events or drop-ins
• Mini boards for small groups — ideal for client meetings or thank-you gifts
