What RH Events and Catering does

RH Events and Catering is a privately held, founder-controlled turnkey corporate event planning and large-scale catering company headquartered in Powder Springs, Georgia. Founded approximately 30+ years ago by co-founders Lee Reith and Steve Hunt, the company executes high-impact corporate events ranging from a few hundred to 24,000+ guests for enterprise clients across manufacturing, healthcare, distribution/logistics, engineering/technology, and military/government verticals. Its service portfolio spans company picnics, corporate catering, casino nights, family-inclusive corporate events, and military/government support catering, all delivered under a single point-of-contact model with end-to-end management of site selection, permits, vendor coordination, staffing, power and logistics, and teardown.

The company operates from an 11,000 sq ft office/warehouse facility in Powder Springs, GA and runs a proprietary five-step planning methodology (Discovery & Visioning, Proposal & Options, Vendor & Logistics Planning, Production & Day-of Execution, Tear-Down & Wrap-Up). Core operational technology consists of mobile kitchen assets, generator and power distribution systems, refrigerated transport, and ServSafe-certified food handling processes that enable execution at remote industrial and rural facilities lacking permanent infrastructure. Geographic reach extends across the Southeast, Midwest, Texas, and Virginia through regional hubs in Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio, with documented event delivery in 13 states as of 2023.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional-services fees on a per-event basis, with per-attendee pricing ranging from $40-$100 for standard company picnics and additional charges for premium menus, equipment rentals, entertainment, and infrastructure. The customer base includes WellStar Health Systems, YKK AP, Lowe's, GEICO, Advent Health, WVU Hospitals, Walmart Distribution Centers, Hyundai Steel, Frito Lay, Duracell, and Pilgrim's. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales driven by website-sourced RFPs, SHRM conference participation, referral business, and SEO-optimized location-specific landing pages. A wholly-owned food truck subsidiary, Lee Street Tacos, operates as an adjacent consumer-facing brand launched in 2022.

Direct peers

• Merri-Makers: Merri-Makers is a Mid-Atlantic corporate event caterer specializing in large-scale company picnics and corporate events. It is the closest direct peer in terms of service model (turnkey outdoor corporate event catering), customer base (manufacturing/healthcare employers), and geographic footprint overlap.
• Ridgewells Catering: Ridgewells is a high-volume corporate and social event caterer serving the Mid-Atlantic with off-premise catering, large-scale event production, and corporate entertainment offerings. Comparable to RH Events in scale (events for thousands of guests), corporate client concentration, and full-service event management.
• Affairs to Remember: Affairs to Remember is an Atlanta-based corporate event and catering company with three decades of experience in corporate picnics, holiday parties, and employee appreciation events. Headquartered in RH Events' home market, with directly overlapping service portfolio and customer vertical focus.
• The Event Group: The Event Group provides turnkey corporate event planning and large-scale catering, particularly for corporate picnics and employee appreciation events in the Southeast. Direct peer on service model (full-service event production with catering core) and customer verticals (manufacturing, healthcare).
• Picnic Makers: Picnic Makers is a specialized corporate picnic planner serving large-scale employer events with bundled catering, entertainment, and logistics. Comparable to RH Events' company picnic product on menu structure, turnkey service model, and enterprise target buyer.

Broad incumbents

• Constellation Culinary Group: Constellation is a large-scale corporate and institutional catering operator with broader service portfolio including managed foodservice. Larger, broader-incumbent player that competes for some of the same enterprise event catering RFPs but operates a wider catering business beyond corporate picnics.
• Aramark: Aramark is a global food services and facilities provider with a corporate event catering practice. A broad incumbent that overlaps with RH Events on large enterprise catering but operates across a vastly wider portfolio including managed foodservice, concessions, and uniform services.
• Sodexo Live!: Sodexo Live! (Sodexo's events and hospitality division) provides catering and event services at venues, corporate campuses, and large-scale events. A broad incumbent peer operating at venue and corporate-event scale beyond RH Events' niche focus.

Emerging players

• ACE Casino & Entertainment: ACE Casino provides casino night entertainment services for corporate events, directly overlapping with RH Events' Casino Nights product. Focused specifically on casino event entertainment rather than full-service catering, so partial overlap only.
• Gameday Events: Gameday Events provides large-scale corporate picnic and employee appreciation event production, primarily in the Southeast. Comparable to RH Events on customer vertical focus (manufacturing/industrial) and outdoor large-guest-count picnic service.
