Backyard parties, milestone dinners, and at-home celebrations.
Most of our weekends are private events — a backyard in Pinecrest, a birthday in Kendall, an anniversary dinner where the family wants the paella cooked right there in the yard. These are the easy, fun ones: you pick the food, we show up, cook, serve, and leave the kitchen cleaner than we found it.
Headcounts move around on private parties, so we build in a little flexibility and confirm the final number a few days out.
Every event is quoted to your guest count, menu and service style — there's no charge to get a custom quote, and you'll see everything in writing before anything is booked.
Planning an event that needs private event catering? Private parties are our bread and butter, and the format flexes to the room. La Peregrina Miami Catering is a Miami-Dade caterer led by Chef Reinaldo Lazo, and we serve the whole county — Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Doral, Kendall, Hialeah, Aventura, Homestead and everywhere between.
Live paella, a pasta station, grazing tables, passed bites or a full buffet — mix and match to the crowd. Everything is prepared fresh for your event, and we accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, no-pork and shellfish-allergy needs when you book — not improvised on the day. We can also build the menu around a theme or color story, add a dessert or sweets display, and arrange rentals like tables, linens and serviceware on request, so the food and the look come together as one package.
Anniversaries, graduations, retirement parties and just-because gatherings all fit. How do I get a quote for private event catering? Every event is quoted to your guest count, menu and service style — reach out and we'll send a custom quote in writing, with no obligation.
To book private event catering, send your date, headcount and city through our contact form or message us on WhatsApp at 786-991-8740. We usually return a tailored menu and quote the same day, and two to three weeks' notice is ideal for weekend dates — though drop-off menus can often go out in 48 to 72 hours.
What sets La Peregrina apart from a standard Miami caterer is that the cooking happens at your event, not in a kitchen across town. Guests watch the food come together, it's served at its peak, and the setup doubles as entertainment. We bring the equipment, the staff and the clean-up, and we leave your venue the way we found it.
Tell us your date, headcount and city — we'll send a custom menu and quote, usually the same day.
For live stations we usually start around 25 to make the setup worthwhile, though we'll quote smaller intimate dinners too. Drop-off has no real minimum beyond a tray.
We break down and pack out everything we brought, and we leave your space tidy. If you've added rentals, we coordinate the pickup.
For paella nights, weddings, and anything with a live station, two to three weeks gives us the best shot at your date — Miami weekends fill up fast, especially November through April. Drop-off and office lunches we can often turn around in 48 to 72 hours. If your date is tight, message us anyway; we keep a short waitlist and sometimes shuffle things.
Yes. Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, no-pork, nut allergies — tell us when you book and we build it into the menu instead of scrambling day-of. The pasta station and grazing tables are easy to adapt; the seafood paella we'll flag clearly for shellfish allergies.
