Local Effort specializes in personal and event cooking, with an emphasis on local ingredients. We provide plated, coursed meals akin to a restaurant experience, more casual family-style meals, and appetizer-focused cocktail party service, all with the same ingredient-obsessed quality.

At Northwoods Catering, we offer a refined, boutique experience where every detail is tailored to you. We’re not bargain caterers — our chef-led team prepares exceptional cuisine on-site, never delivered in warming boxes, ensuring each dish is served fresh and flawless. From private consultations to custom menus, every step is personal, elevated, and rooted in your story. We take on only select events to maintain the highest standards of care. On your special day, expect exquisite food, expert service, and the quiet confidence of knowing it’s all in capable hands.
