Celebrating the holidays often comes with parties and dinners that, while a lot of fun, can be stressful to pull off, especially when it comes time to choosing the setting and the food.
Fortunately, a local venue offers catering in an upscale atmosphere that allows groups to celebrate with just each other.
“Bungalow 626 is a truly unique, high-end destination because of its intimate setting, which feels like an extension of your own home,” said proprietor John Savage.
In the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, Bungalow 626 is a historic Craftsman bungalow. It’s ideal for holiday parties of many sizes, with a unique design that allows for indoor and outdoor accommodation.
Savage is also the executive chef at Creative Services Catering, which provides the bungalow to clients who want to celebrate without the intrusions so common at hotels or other big venues.
“Unlike larger venues, guests do not have to contend with competing events, noise, or large, impersonal spaces,” he said.
That means you can skip the noisy restaurants, where you have to yell over music, cram into tables that don’t let you pull out your chair all the way, and constantly get the attention of busy servers.
Bungalow 626 offers the comfort of feeling at home without the hassle of cooking or cleaning.
And with the holidays in full swing, Bungalow 626 is available, complete with customizable menus, seasonal cocktails, and decor.
“We pride ourselves on collaborating closely with our clients to curate a custom menu that is special for their event,” Savage said. “We customize every detail, from appetizers to cocktails, to ensure a unique and memorable experience.”
That memorable experience includes being surrounded by elegance that lets the focus stay on the celebration.
“The Bungalow is dressed in a festive, classy, and simple style,” Savage said. “We feature fresh poinsettias, twinkling lights, and elegant trees throughout the space.”
As for the food, Creative Services Catering works with each client to ensure the menu is precisely what they want. Some options are particularly popular during the holidays.
“Our holiday charcuterie grazing table is truly one-of-a-kind and perfect for a crowd,” Savage said.
“On the bar, a favorite seasonal item is our beautiful, tart, and delicious pomegranate martini. Seasonal touches are incorporated throughout most of our holiday offerings to create a warm and festive vibe.”
To ensure the space is right for your group, you can schedule a tour beforehand to see it for yourself and to ask any questions.
“Once you see the space in person, we are confident you will not look anywhere else for your event,” Savage said.
Available dates for the season are filling up fast, so if you are looking for an ideal party venue, reach out soon via the website or by calling 805-965-9121.
As a bonus, you can also find a delicious holiday gift — for yourself or others.
Creative Services Catering’s signature Savage Sassy Sauce comes in a gift bag and makes a wonderful holiday gift for party guests, friends, family members, co-workers, or even the hosts of other gatherings you attend this season.
It’s not only a great gift — it’s also perfect for holiday cooking, ideal for adding flavor to any recipe, and excellent as a final touch to your main or side dishes.
“It is a house-made sweet chili sauce that is fabulous on everything,” Savage said. “Salmon, steak, vegetables — it literally goes with everything.”
