We cater every type of event! Weddings, corporate, fundraisers, family events, and more!

The Plated Parable was founded in 2021.

At The Plated Parable, “Full Service” means that we provide all aspects of catering your event. This includes food preparation, drop off, delivery, setup, service, breakdown, and cleanup. Our goal is to do all the work so that you can feel like a guest at your own event.

The Georgia Department of Revenue requires sales tax on all catering services.

To place a catering order, call us at (404) 819-0590 or email us at info@theplatedparable.com.

We will send you an invoice.

We accept all forms of payment, cash, checks, and all major credit cards. However, deposits can only be made in the form of cash or check. All payments made via credit card will incur a processing fee.

We require a non-refundable deposit to reserve your date. A second payment is due midway between the date of deposit and your event. Final payment is due along with your final guest count 30 days prior to your event.

The Plated Parable is fully licensed and insured. We currently hold licenses with both the Georgia Department of Agriculture and the Dekalb Health Department.

The time we need to prepare your catering order depends on several factors. This includes our current client schedule, your schedule, the type of event, the number of guests, and more. In most cases, we need at least 48 hours of notice for drop off catering services, such as box lunches, and at least 30 days for larger events like weddings, graduations, and more. This helps to secure your date as well. Feel free to call us if you have a last-minute need, we can usually help with them.

Please call (404) 819-0590 or email us at info@theplatedparable.com. Once your information is received, we gather the rest of the necessary details before sending you a customized proposal.
