Company Overview
Constellation was founded in 2008 with a simple but powerful goal: to bring joy to people through exceptional food. What began with one visionary restaurateur has grown into a collaborative team united by passion, creativity, and a commitment to excellence.
At the heart of our success are the meaningful relationships we build—with one another and with our clients. These connections shape every experience we create.
We specialize in bringing restaurant-quality cuisine to unexpected places—intimate weddings, corporate offices, cultural institutions, and beyond. Whether it’s a perfectly cooked filet mignon or a thoughtfully prepared ham sandwich, every dish is crafted with the same care, precision, and love of the culinary arts.
Our team works closely with each client to design personalized, memorable dining experiences that reflect their vision—not just ours. From custom menus to the final place card, we believe in curating moments that spark conversation and leave a lasting impression.
