D’Amico Hospitality!
Earlier this year, we made an exciting and meaningful change, a change that reflects our growth, our evolution, and our vision for the future. After 30 incredible years as D’Amico Catering, we officially became D’Amico Hospitality.
The name D’Amico Catering is well-known and well-loved, and we’re proud of everything it has represented for over three decades: exceptional food, top-notch service, and countless memorable events.
It’s a legacy that will always be a part of who we are. But, as our business has evolved, so has our identity.
We’ve grown to become more than a catering company. Our team now manages and operates several of your favorite venues, creates unique guest experiences, and collaborates on events that extend far beyond food and beverage. Our role has expanded, and we felt that we needed a name that could grow with us.
That’s how D’Amico Hospitality was born. It is a name that reflects the full scope of what we do today, while still honoring the foundation we’ve built.
We wanted it to seem like overnight, everything changed. In many ways, it did. We had amazing vendors putting decals on our office windows overnight, trucks being wrapped (many in the days prior and kept carefully hidden), and all our social media and website updates scheduled to flip at just the right moment. But that doesn’t mean it actually happened overnight. Many months of planning went into making this transition feel seamless and sudden.
To roll out this exciting change, we knew we had to start with the people who make the magic happen every day: our team. We invited everyone—from accounting to servers to sous chefs to event planners—to a “season kick-off” event, held at the Metropolitan Ballroom. There, we shared the exciting news that they had all played a vital part in. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, not just for the busy season ahead, but for a name that felt like a natural reflection of the work we already do. And of course, there was champagne.
We asked our team to keep the news under wraps until the next morning, when the transformation would become public. Everything happened right on schedule: a coordinated social media announcement went live, the press had been notified, and our newly rebranded D’Amico Hospitality green trucks began delivering treat boxes to some of our favorite people and partners. The news was met with heartfelt excitement and support from our team, clients, and industry friends, making the moment even more meaningful and memorable.
As our owner Paul Smith shares, “Something that excites me about hospitality is the foundational role that we play in helping people to create lifelong memories.” Creating unforgettable moments for our clients and their guests has always been at the heart of our work, and it continues to guide us as we move forward.
Paul puts it beautifully: “We live in an age that rightfully honors experiences over things, so it is a privilege to bring that to life.” That’s exactly what we aim to do – take each client’s vision and bring it to life by crafting thoughtful, unique experiences that people will remember for years to come.
Under this new name, our commitment to culinary excellence, great service, and meaningful connection remains unchanged but our capacity to deliver those moments is stronger than ever.
To our loyal clients, vendor partners, and team – thank you. Your continued support has made this transition possible, and we’re honored to have you with us as we enter this exciting new chapter.
Cheers to the next generation of hospitality, built on our story and inspired by the people who bring it to life every day!
