"We just wanted to say thank you for your outstanding work preparing the buffet lunch after our Dad's memorial service..."
...you were able to take one huge worry off the shoulders of our Mom. She wanted to do something really nice and she couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome...
...this service you do is such a blessing to families that are weary and in crisis. We can't thank you enough for all you did to make that day what we had hoped for to honor our Dad."

Location Convenience
We bring our Celebration of Life services to the place most convenient for you. We have catered at religious halls and schools, memorial funeral homes, large homes or family backyards and other locations.
Appropriate Decor
For an additional fee, we will take care of floral arrangements, appropriate background music, special lighting, and the rental of linens, tables, chairs, glassware, china and flatware. We can also help you with decorations for a memorial table or provide other special props to suit your needs for your Celebration of Life event.
Food Preparation Standards
We prepare our food with exquisite care and serve only the freshest seasonal produce. We provide generous portions of balanced, nutritious food. Our catered items are always beautifully arranged and presented. We practice exceptionally high cleanliness standards and have State Board of Health certification. All leftover and unwanted food is donated to St. Anthony's Church in Redwood City.

Due to the short notice for Celebration of Life funeral and memorial events, we require full advance payment. Encore Performance Catering can meet your needs with fast, reliable service in as little as one to two days' notice; however, full upfront payment is expected. Prices are $30 per person, which includes local sales tax.* Additionally, a minimum fee of $50 will be applied for all waste and/or recycling removal. For Celebration of Life catering, our minimum is 50 guests. We accept Visa and Mastercard.
