Catering in Encanterra

A resort community where the club has its own kitchen and the houses do not.

Encanterra is a Trilogy resort community off Combs Road in Queen Creek, built around a golf course and a substantial club with its own dining. It draws an active, social membership that entertains constantly.

The club runs its own food and beverage, so the clubhouse rooms are not somewhere an outside caterer works. We would rather say that plainly than let you find out after a phone call.

What we do here is the residence side, and in a community this social that is most of the good events: milestone birthdays, anniversaries, club and group gatherings hosted at a member's home, and the dinner the night before something at the club.

Planning notes

What an Encanterra event needs.

Gated access, a club that caters itself, and guests who are not in a hurry.

  • The club caters the club

    Encanterra's own food and beverage operation handles the clubhouse, so outside catering is not permitted in those rooms. We cater at residences instead, which for most private celebrations is the better room anyway.

  • Gated entry and the guest list

    We send vehicle details and a full staff list well ahead of the event so your gate or association has everything in advance, and we arrive in one truck rather than a convoy.

  • Power where the view is

    The best spot on a property is almost never near an outlet. We bring quiet generators, our own cook line and event lighting, so an outdoor setting works as well as a kitchen.

  • Dietary needs, taken seriously

    In an active adult community dietary requirements are frequently medical rather than a preference. Send the list by name and we build the menu around it properly.

Frequently asked

Catering in Encanterra, answered.

Can you cater an event at the Encanterra club?

No. The club runs its own food and beverage operation, so outside catering is not permitted in the clubhouse rooms. We cater at residences in the community instead, including the dinner the night before something at the club.

Do you cater private homes in Encanterra?

Yes, and it is most of what we do here. Seated dinners and milestone celebrations for 20 to 120 on patios and in yards throughout the community.

How do you get through the gate?

We send vehicle details and a full staff list to you ahead of the event so your gate has everything in advance, and we arrive in a single truck rather than a convoy.

How do you handle dietary requirements?

By name, individually. In an active adult community these are frequently medical rather than optional, so we build proper dishes around them rather than removing ingredients.

How does your pricing work?

Every event is quoted individually rather than from a package tier. Tell us your guest count, the property and the style of service you want, and you will have a written quote back, usually within an hour or two, that itemizes food, staffing, rentals and bar separately.
