LUX Catering & Events

What LUX Catering & Events does

LUX Catering & Events is a full-service catering and event production company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, operating since 1995 under the leadership of founder/owner Kelly Lake and managing partner Chris Lake. The company delivers integrated event experiences across five in-house service lines—Catering, Design, Floral, Bar, and Production—marketed under the 'House of LUX' architecture, where each function collaborates under a single team to produce cohesive, fully custom events rather than siloed vendor services. Menus are built from scratch around client vision, guest preferences, and seasonality, with ingredients sourced locally from Utah producers when possible.

The business serves two primary customer segments: corporate clients—including Fortune 500 companies, nationally recognized brands, nonprofits, and local businesses running conferences, galas, product launches, executive retreats, fundraisers, and holiday parties—and social clients planning weddings, private celebrations, and milestone events. A secondary 'Partner with LUX' channel serves professional event planners who refer clients to LUX. Pricing is custom and quote-based, with no publicly disclosed rates; customers initiate engagement via the website contact form or a dedicated phone line (801-466-2537) routed to an in-house event concierge.

The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, supported by a digital footprint spanning the LUX website (luxevents.com), Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn, plus SEO targeting for 'catering services in Salt Lake City.' The company is affiliated with LUX Group Brands, a broader hospitality brand family, though LUX Catering & Events itself operates as a private entity with no disclosed parent ownership, funding history, or revenue figures. Specialized offerings include wedding catering, corporate event production, venue sourcing, and Floral Workshops as a recurring educational class line.
