Alexandra Dettori Catering + Events

What Alexandra Dettori Catering + Events does

Alexandra Dettori Catering + Events is a Brooklyn-based, founder-led full-service catering and event-design firm operating as BAB Food LLC since 2016. The company provides custom menu design, food preparation, beverage crafting, and on-site service for private celebrations (weddings, birthdays, showers, anniversaries) and corporate or brand events (product launches, fundraisers, client entertainment). It owns and operates Maison Grey, a 60-seat event venue at 34 Van Dyke Street in Brooklyn that is also rented for photoshoots and movie sets, supplementing its catering book with venue-rental revenue.

The firm monetizes through four primary streams: full-service catering (the core offering, priced via custom quotes), Maison Grey venue rental, drop-off breakfast and lunch catering, and virtual/boxed-meal mailers. GTM is sales-led and direct, driven by an Instagram-forward visual brand, a website with categorized galleries, and a 24-hour consultation response process. Its named client roster spans luxury fashion (Vera Wang, Kate Spade, Berluti, Canada Goose), technology (Google), entertainment (NBA, Sony), hospitality (Airbnb), beverages (Hublot, Hennessy), retail (Saks Off 5th, Marshalls, TJ Maxx), beauty (beautyblender, Make Up For Ever, Dove, Kérastase), and other sectors, indicating enterprise-level demand alongside private-event volume.

Underlying technology is intentionally lightweight: a Squarespace-hosted public website and a Firebase-backed staffing portal for recruiting event staff. There are no app products, no API surface, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. The business is bootstrapped with no external funding, is privately held, and operates with an 11-50 employee footprint focused on the New York metro with willingness to travel for client events. Founder Alexandra Dettori, who trained at the International Culinary Center and brings Belgian-Italian-East African culinary influences, is both Executive Chef and brand centerpiece.
