Anoush Catering

What Anoush Catering does

Anoush Catering Company is a privately held, full-service catering and event venue operator founded in 1986 and headquartered in Glendale, California. The company delivers per-person catering for weddings, corporate events, social celebrations, charity fundraisers, and film/TV productions, while operating proprietary banquet venues — Anoush Landmark (Mission Hills, 850-guest capacity, 10,000 sq ft), Anoush Glenoaks Ballroom (Glendale, 50–450 guests, 4,500 sq ft), and Hummingbird Nest Ranch (Santa Susana Mountains, 1,000-guest capacity, 17,000 sq ft) — and serving as exclusive or preferred caterer at 15+ partner venues across Southern California, including The Langham Hotel (Pasadena), Calamigos Ranch (Malibu), The Majestic Downtown, Alexandria Ballrooms, City Club Los Angeles, Santuari, multiple Hiltons, Ritz Carlton Marina Del Rey, FantaSea Yachts, and The Fonda/Roxy/El Rey theatres. The company also holds preferred/exclusive catering arrangements in destination locations such as Blomgren Ranch (Santa Clarita) and Van Ardi Winery (Armenia).

The business operates under three core revenue streams: catering services priced on a per-person basis with alcohol packages ranging from $10-$20 per person and customizable menus accommodating gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and specialty dietary needs; venue rental fees for proprietary banquet halls; and bundled all-inclusive event packages introduced at Anoush Landmark and Anoush Glenoaks, which combine venue, catering, rentals, waitstaff, management, and event time into a single contract. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging exclusive venue partnerships as the primary distribution channel, supported by website inquiry forms, SEO, Instagram and email marketing, referral programs ($250-$500 credit tiers), and direct phone/text engagement (818-764-0000). Customer segments span weddings (primary), corporate events, social celebrations (Quinceañeras, bar/bat mitzvahs, birthdays), charity galas, and entertainment-industry filming.

Leadership is led by CEO Vrej Sarkissian (J.D., Loyola Law School; 15+ years entertainment and corporate planning), supported by COO Hagop Supikyan (25+ years hospitality), Director of HR Ani Keshishian, Director of Sales Sevada Markosyan, Director of Operations Tony Hosseini, and a roster of 10+ event managers. Anoush Catering is privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external funding rounds. The company has earned WeddingWire Couples Choice Awards, The Knot Best of Wedding awards, and editorial features in Inside Weddings, Brides.com, and Broadway World, supporting 35+ years of brand recognition in the Southern California event services market.
