Floral grazing and brunch buffet styled for a wedding
Philadelphia & Destination Catering

Catering that hosts
as well as you would.

Composed, considered hospitality for weddings, private dinners, and corporate gatherings — from an intimate townhouse table to a coastal celebration.

We are not in the food business. We are in the business of peace for the host and delight for the guest.

Hospitality, Composed.
The Experiences

Three ways we set the table.

One hospitality team, tailored to the moment — whether you're saying "I do," hosting the board, or gathering close friends around a private chef.

Our Approach

Why hosts return to us.

Four things shape everything we serve — the difference between a meal delivered and an evening cared for.

Composed hospitality

Everything appears handled, because it is. Dietary notes tracked, load-in windows held, the room settled before a single guest arrives.

The food is excellent — and it's one element of a larger composition. We design the atmosphere around the plate, not just the plate.

Modern luxury

Contemporary and earned, closer to a boutique resort than a country club. No clichés, no clutter — just a beautifully kept table.

Travel-ready by design

A private dinner in a Philadelphia townhouse on Saturday, a coastal rental on Sunday. Versatility is part of the premium.

Meet the Chef

Hospitality, cooked from scratch.

Risse's Peace & Delight began with a simple belief — that the right meal, served with care, can settle a whole room. What started as cooking for family and friends grew into a full-service catering and private-chef studio, plating an intimate dinner in a Philadelphia townhouse one evening and styling a grazing table at the shore the next.

Every menu is cooked from scratch and seasoned by hand — from Southern-rooted comfort to plated seafood and multi-course tastings. The food is excellent, and it's the warmth around the plate that guests carry home.
