What Arthur's Creative Events & Catering does

Arthur's Creative Events & Catering is a privately held, full-service catering and event planning company headquartered in Altamonte Springs, Florida, operating across the Central Florida region including Orlando and Winter Park. Founded in 1989 by Mark Leggett and Lisa Bruttell Grant, the company has run continuously for over 36 years with a current workforce of approximately 91 employees, offering custom menu design, on-site food preparation, event design consultation, and full event execution for weddings, corporate events, social gatherings, and disaster relief operations.

Its service portfolio is organized around four core categories: wedding catering, corporate events (including conventions, galas, and fundraising), social gatherings, and a specialized disaster relief catering line with FEMA contract experience. Underlying capabilities include farm-to-table ingredient sourcing, dietary accommodation across vegan, vegetarian, kosher, and allergen-free diets, interactive chef-inspired action stations, and a documented chef team including Lynn Black (25-year tenure). The company maintains a network of 50+ venue partnerships across Central Florida where it operates as a preferred or featured caterer, including The Howey Mansion, Casa Feliz, Capen House, Orlando Museum of Art, UCF Pegasus Ballroom, and Crystal Ballroom on the Lake. Named enterprise customers include the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, 3M, Hilton Grand Vacations, and UCF, alongside recurring smaller-scale engagements (e.g., Toptech's 20-year annual holiday party, HGV's Tournament of Champions).

Revenue is generated per-event with quote-based pricing that varies by guest count, menu complexity, service level, and venue requirements; per-head pricing and service fees are not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct-to-venue with no retail footprint, and the go-to-market motion relies on venue referrals, wedding planner and corporate event coordinator relationships, and word-of-mouth from three decades of operation. Marketing is conducted through the company website, blog, newsletter, and featured-event gallery; an environmental partnership with O-Town Compost supports a green-initiative positioning aligned with the City of Orlando's zero-waste goal.

Broad incumbents

• Levy Restaurants: Specialty hospitality and catering arm of Compass Group focused on premium sports, entertainment, and convention venues. Adjacent competitor in high-end event catering with overlap in conventions and galas.
• Centerplate: National hospitality provider of catering, concessions, and event services to sports and entertainment venues. Comparable in event catering scope but operates at much larger scale across venues Arthur's does not serve.
• Aramark: Global food services and facilities management company that operates catering and event services across sports, entertainment, and corporate clients. Overlaps with Arthur's corporate and convention event catering but at far broader scale.
• Sodexo: International food services and integrated facilities management provider. Competes for institutional and corporate catering contracts overlapping with Arthur's enterprise event business, though Arthur's is far more wedding- and event-focused.

• Blue Plate: Long-established Chicago-based full-service off-premise caterer for weddings, corporate, and social events. Comparable in scale, tenure, and full-service event execution model, though regionally focused.
• Puff 'n Stuff Catering: Orlando/Tampa-based full-service catering and event design company. Direct competitor in the same Central Florida market, serving weddings, corporate events, and galas with comparable full-service execution.
• Windows Catering Company: Regional full-service off-premise caterer focused on weddings, corporate, and social events. Comparable business model in custom menu design and on-site event execution for mid-to-large events.
