Eat Well Celebrations and Feasts

What Eat Well Celebrations and Feasts does

Eat Well Celebrations and Feasts is a chef-owned, full-service catering company founded in 2005 by Chef Renée Schuler and headquartered at 518 York St, Newport, Kentucky. It serves corporate events, weddings, social occasions, nonprofit fundraisers, and recurring office catering throughout the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region, with demonstrated capacity for events of up to 4,500 guests and a track record of 25,000+ custom wedding menus. The company's core offering bundles menu planning, food preparation, staffing, bartending, setup, and cleanup into a single service engagement, executed by an in-house culinary team led by a founder trained at the Institute for Culinary Education with prior experience at Bobby Flay, Daniel Boulud, and Danny Meyer establishments.

The product portfolio spans six lines: Corporate Events Catering, Wedding Catering, Social Events Catering, Fundraising Events Catering, Office Catering, and the Takeaway Shop, an online retail channel at shop.eatwellonline.com for pre-ordered prepared foods and holiday meals. Underlying delivery relies on culinary craft and operational execution rather than proprietary technology; the company maintains preferred-caterer status at more than 40 Greater Cincinnati venues and sources ingredients from local farms (Fox Tail Farm, Gerber's Farm) and specialty vendors (Eckerlin Meats, Blue Oven Bakery, Coffee Emporium).

The business model is professional services with event-by-event, quote-based pricing supplemented by retail e-commerce revenue from the Takeaway Shop. Go-to-market is sales-led with enterprise field sales targeting corporate accounts including General Electric, Procter & Gamble, Major League Baseball, and Martha Stewart, plus consumer demand generated through the website, social channels (Facebook, Instagram), email newsletter, and venue referral partnerships. The company is privately held, operates as Eat Well LLC, is WBENC-certified, and recently expanded via acquisition of Jeff Thomas Catering in 2024.
