Our Story
Velvet Plate is the private-dining and catering studio from Slym
Epicurean. We build seasonal menus and run calm, on-time events for
weddings, brands, and intimate gatherings. Quiet luxury, no fuss.
Slym Epicurean began in home kitchens—cooking for families, teaching,
and hosting small dinners. As word spread, guests asked for black-tie
moments and tasting menus. Velvet Plate is that next step: the same
heart, dressed up.
‘What you get: peak-season produce, clean technique, beautiful plating,
and a team that stays warm and unflappable. We handle the details—
menu, staffing, rentals, and timeline—so you can enjoy your own party.
Our work spans Chef's Tastings, Private Dining, and full-service
Catering. From six-guest tables to full ballrooms, we keep it smooth
and memorable.
Food people talk about. Service you never have to think about. That's
Velvet Plate.
