Butler-passed bites and pintxos for receptions and openings.
For receptions, gallery openings, and the first hour of a wedding, passed bites keep people mingling instead of sitting. Pintxos, mini boards, spoons and skewers — small, sharp, and pretty enough to photograph. We pair it with a grazing display so there's always something to graze on between trays.
Every event is quoted to your guest count, menu and service style — there's no charge to get a custom quote, and you'll see everything in writing before anything is booked.
Looking for cocktail & canapé catering near you in Miami-Dade? Cocktail catering keeps people mingling with food they can eat standing up. La Peregrina Miami Catering is a Miami-Dade caterer led by Chef Reinaldo Lazo, and we serve the whole county — Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Doral, Kendall, Hialeah, Aventura, Homestead and everywhere between.
Pintxos, mini boards, ceviche cups, salmon-avocado spoons and skewers, paired with a grazing display. Everything is prepared fresh for your event, and we accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, no-pork and shellfish-allergy needs when you book — not improvised on the day. We can also build the menu around a theme or color story, add a dessert or sweets display, and arrange rentals like tables, linens and serviceware on request, so the food and the look come together as one package.
Gallery openings, engagement parties and the first hour of a wedding all call for it. How do I get a quote for cocktail & canapé catering? Every event is quoted to your guest count, menu and service style — reach out and we'll send a custom quote in writing, with no obligation.
To book cocktail & canapé catering, send your date, headcount and city through our contact form or message us on WhatsApp at 786-991-8740. We usually return a tailored menu and quote the same day, and two to three weeks' notice is ideal for weekend dates — though drop-off menus can often go out in 48 to 72 hours.
What sets La Peregrina apart from a standard Miami caterer is that the cooking happens at your event, not in a kitchen across town. Guests watch the food come together, it's served at its peak, and the setup doubles as entertainment. We bring the equipment, the staff and the clean-up, and we leave your venue the way we found it.
Tell us your date, headcount and city — we'll send a custom menu and quote, usually the same day.
For a cocktail hour, plan 4 to 6 pieces per guest; for a canapé-only event running a couple of hours, 10 to 14. We'll fine-tune based on timing and whether dinner follows.
Yes — a heavier passed-and-grazing format can replace a sit-down dinner. We just bump the count and round out the spread so nobody leaves hungry.
For paella nights, weddings, and anything with a live station, two to three weeks gives us the best shot at your date — Miami weekends fill up fast, especially November through April. Drop-off and office lunches we can often turn around in 48 to 72 hours. If your date is tight, message us anyway; we keep a short waitlist and sometimes shuffle things.
Yes. Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, no-pork, nut allergies — tell us when you book and we build it into the menu instead of scrambling day-of. The pasta station and grazing tables are easy to adapt; the seafood paella we'll flag clearly for shellfish allergies.
Send a few details and Chef Reinaldo's team will put together a custom menu — usually the same day. No deposit to get a quote.
