Merri-Makers caterers was selected to serve the Society of Cosmetic Chemists during their largest international convention in New Jersey. The convention attracts some 3,300 chemists from all over the country and New Jersey’s most famed corporate caterers were called in to plan and serve lunch to the large group.

The biggest hurdle to scale for the New Jersey corporate caterers was planning the logistics of a gourmet lunch which would feed over 3,000 guests in a timely and organized manner. The convention organizers asked for a delicious but quick lunch to help the convention adhere to pre-set time schedules.

Apart from gourmet catering creations, Merri-Makers is known for their ability to create a flawless execution for every event they preside over. The planning team of Merri-Makers organized a buffet style lunch which broke the group up into 250 guests per buffet station. Plenty of Merri-Makers staff members were on hand during the event with large signs designating available seating throughout the enormous room as well as directing the movement of the large groups in the proper direction of their buffet quad.

The depth of their capabilities stretches far beyond excellent food and flawless execution. With their high-end catering division, M2 Caterers, coupled with their Food Solutions division, MM365, this multi-faceted catering and food service organization has established itself as New Jersey’s best corporate catering company.

“Merri-Makers Caterers, recognized for the past 30 years for distinguished cuisine and artful presentations, can now add a new service to their extensive portfolio: Comedy! The authorities in gourmet and distinctive catering were recently called upon by Bayshore Fitness to host a rather ridiculous event.”

Bayshore Fitness is New Jersey’s largest fitness center. Recently, they brought their employees to the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center to enjoy a Merri-Makers catered event. Rightfully dubbed ‘Evening of the Absurd’, this comical occasion is actually a classic favorite of Merri-Makers. 500 employees of Bayshore Fitness were treated to healthy cuisine with a heaping side of Laugh Out Loud!

This parody of a traditional holiday party featured a dancing Richard Simmons look alike tossing up fresh greens at the salad bar, an actor posing as a Rabbi attending to the pork station, a Santa Claus serving corned beef and a Geisha girl working the wok station. The amusing wait staff took several ‘dance breaks’ to boogie to party favorites like the Chicken Dance and the Macarena. Party guests, of course, were unexpectedly left with trays of food in their hands while their wait staff supplied entertainment. Attendees were handed funny glasses with large red noses to wear during the party which was all about supplying a little bit of nature’s best medicine, laughter.
