One Kitchen, Every Table

The food is ours, in every sense.

There is no third-party catering here, and that is a feature, not a restriction. One kitchen means one standard: every menu is cooked fresh onsite by Executive Chef Sergio Arellano's team, the same in-house operation that runs your timeline, your service, and your bar.

Dietary needs are standard practice, not special requests. The kitchen is Halal-friendly and builds vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free plates alongside every menu. Custom cultural menus are something we do often, not an exception.

Below is just a sample of Chef's creations across all three menus. You'll build your final menu with your Event Producer, and taste it, plated, before you sign off.

Served Your Way

Five ways to serve the night.

Every menu above can be delivered in the style your event calls for. Most celebrations combine two or three across the evening. Your Event Producer matches the style to the moment.

01

Plated

A composed, course-by-course dinner: the formal anchor of a seated evening, timed to the program.

02

Buffet

Abundant and unhurried: the full spread, replenished by the kitchen through the evening.

03

Passed

Hors d'oeuvres in hand during cocktails and in-between moments. The party never pauses to eat.

04

Late-Night

A second wind for the dance floor: comfort bites that appear right when the night needs them.

05

Custom Bar

Poured exclusively by Bell Tower staff, a professional bar team that keeps the celebration safe and the line moving.

One Kitchen, Every Table

In-house, in every sense.

There is no third-party catering, and that is a feature, not a restriction. One kitchen means one standard: every menu is cooked fresh onsite and served by the same team that runs your timeline. The bar works the same way: all alcohol is provided and poured exclusively by Bell Tower staff.

Dietary needs are standard practice here, not special requests: the kitchen is Halal-friendly and builds vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free plates alongside every menu. Custom cultural menus are something we do often, not an exception. Tastings are scheduled at least 45 days before your event, for up to four guests.
