Creations in Cuisine Catering’s offers traditional American, reginal, fusion and theme menus from around the globe. Recognized as one of the premier off – site caterers in Phoenix Arizona and the surrounding areas for over 24 years with a reputation for creativity, delicious cuisine and flawless presentation with unsurpassed customer service.

In May of 1996 Executive Chef and Owner Tony Rea and business partner Frank Vara founded Creations in Cuisine Catering after recognizing the need for high quality creative cuisine and event services for upscale private events in the most exclusive communities in the area. For many years following, the foundation of all events produced by Creations in Cuisine Catering was established only after a personal consultation with our clients. Standard menu packages were nonexistent and personalized and customized creations the norm. As the company flourished and demand grew we found the need to create menu packages for not only social events but corporate and wedding events as well. But our desire and passion for menu customization has not diminished. Customizing menus in the beginning has positioned Creations in Cuisine Catering to offer much needed flexibility to meet the needs and exceed the expectations of today’s clients. We are comfortable offering and creating menus for those who may suffer allergic reactions, prefer a more health conscious – pure food experience with vegetarian or vegan options or just want something new, exciting and exceptional.

We offer our clients clear direction on menu styling, flavor profiles and theme menu creation. We consult on the best style of service such as a hand passed hors d oeuvres reception, guest interactive food stations, buffet, family style or plated meal service all with our client’s personal preferences and financial concerns in mind. We are not event planners instead we direct our clients to choose from a list of preferred service providers. We partner with only the finest event and wedding planners, musicians, floral designers, DJ’s, event rental companies and transportation specialists assuring a memorable experience allowing our clients to be a guest at their own event. Creations in Cuisine Catering provides full-service catering for social events and weddings, self-service corporate and casual catering, gala fund raisers and open house receptions for our local businesses. Our culinary and event operations are still overseen daily by ownership ensuring our high standards of quality and consistency are in place.

Being environmentally responsible is a priority. Creations in Cuisine Catering monitors water efficiency, waste reduction and recycling procedures daily at our 10,000 square foot facility as well at all our off-premise events. We are constantly searching for and evaluating biodegradable and compostable disposable items, energy efficient appliances and environmentally friendly cleaning products for use in our daily operations.

In 2016 Creations in Cuisine Catering purchased several pasta machines imported from Italy and established our sister company PASTA REA. Using only traditional brass dyes our pasta alone is a culinary experience, but when paired with the finest ingredients and a variety of sauces from our basil marinara made with San Marzano style tomatoes to our saffron lobster bisque PASTA REA pasta and Italian specialties will rival the country’s finest Italian restaurants.
All our creations are prepared using only the freshest ingredients sourcing local whenever possible.
