There are moments in our catering journey that remind us why we do what we do – why every carefully crafted dish, every thoughtful menu detail, and every flawless service moment matters. The Wolfe Street Foundation's 26th Annual Red Carpet Recovery Gala was absolutely...
Our “Breakfast with an EMpact 2025” Sponsorship
We had the incredible privilege of serving up some of our favorite breakfast dishes for an even better cause. The annual “Breakfast with an EMpact” fundraiser at First Security Bank in Benton brought our community together to support the amazing work of EMpact One Foundation and we couldn’t be prouder to be part of it.
At Vibrant Occasions, we’ve always believed that food has the power to bring people together. But when that same food can help create opportunities for young people in our community? That’s when the magic really happens.
EMpact One Foundation does incredible work empowering youth through leadership development, athletic programs, and character building. Their Tuition Assistance Program helps give kids access to gymnastics, swimming, soccer, and other activities that might otherwise be out of reach. As parents ourselves, Serge and I know how transformative these experiences can be for children.
“When we can serve delicious food while helping provide opportunities for young people to thrive in athletics and leadership development, that’s exactly the kind of event we’re passionate about sponsoring,” says Chef Serge.
A Garden Dream Wedding Come True at Grandeur House
Sometimes the most beautiful love stories begin with the most unexpected moments. For Molly and Sterling, their journey started with a near-cancelled hiking date (thanks to some uninvited bat houseguests!) and led to a magical proposal under a lunar eclipse in Key Largo. When it came time to celebrate their love, they created a wedding day that was everything they dreamed of – soft, romantic, and absolutely enchanting.
Jacob & Casey Hunt’s Western Wonderland at Florence Farms
Some love stories start with a swipe, others with a coffee shop meet-cute. But Jacob and Casey’s? It began with a Snapchat notification that would change their lives forever. From teenage friends separated by states to a couple building their dream life in Arkansas, their wedding day at Florence Farms was the perfect culmination of a love story that proves distance is just a number when you’ve found your person.
Winning People’s Choice at Saline County Eats 2025
What an absolutely incredible evening we had at Saline County Eats! We’re still buzzing with excitement from the festivities, and honestly, we can’t stop smiling. When the Bryant Chamber of Commerce announced they were bringing back this beloved community event (formerly known as Taste of Bryant), we knew we had to be part of it. And wow, did it exceed all our expectations!
Sharing Our Heart: The Bryant Chamber Lunch N Learn Experience
What an incredible day we had at the Bryant Chamber of Commerce Lunch N Learn on May 28th! When we were invited to share our story of “Leading with the Heart: How Heart Leadership Changed Our Business,” we knew this was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up. There’s nothing we love more than connecting with fellow business leaders who are passionate about creating positive workplace cultures.
From Finalists to Winners: Our AY’s Best of 2025 Journey
What a wild and wonderful ride this has been! When we first learned that Vibrant Occasions had been named finalists in not just one, but TWO categories for AY Magazine’s Best of 2025 contest, we were honestly speechless. To be recognized alongside Arkansas’s top businesses in both “Best of Catering” and “Best Place to Work” felt like such an incredible honor.
Home is Where the Heart Is: Winning The Saline Courier’s Readers’ Choice Award
Sometimes the most meaningful recognition comes from the place you call home. When we learned that Vibrant Occasions had been named the winner of The Saline Courier’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Award for Best Caterer, we honestly didn’t have words. After all these years of serving our Saline County community, to have our neighbors choose us as their favorite? That’s a feeling we’ll treasure forever.
Comfort Food Classics: Chef Serge’s Holiday Casseroles
When Chef Serge Krikorian recently appeared on THV11’s The Vine, hosts Adam Bledsoe (sporting a rather festive turkey hat!) and Ashley King got a taste of two crowd-pleasing casseroles that are perfect for any gathering, not just the holidays. While this segment originally aired during Thanksgiving, these comforting dishes are crowd-pleasers year-round.
