Nibble This! Catering was established in 2021 as a small dream and has since added Sip This! Private Bartending to their list of services. Hardwork and dedication has blossomed This! Elite Hospitality into what it is today.

We founded Nibble This! Catering and Sip This! Bartending out of a deep love for bringing people together with food that is fresh, innovative and personal, and drinks that are made with care and fresh ingredients . We strive to make each and every event one of a kind.
