Key Biscayne
Private home events and waterfront celebrations on Key Biscayne.
Key Biscayne feels a world away from the mainland: palm-lined streets, bayside sunsets, ocean breezes, and an island setting framed by Crandon Park and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. Entertaining here is easygoing, often outdoors, and almost always near the water. Mina’s Catering brings private chef-style menus and a thoughtful, attentive team to homes and residences across the island, from gated waterfront homes on Mashta Island to oceanfront residences with views of the Atlantic. We take care of the food, the service, and the small details, so you can spend the evening with your guests instead of in the kitchen. Whether it’s dinner for ten or a celebration for two hundred, every menu is made for you.
Private multi-course dinners: plated, chef-driven menus served at your table, indoors or on the terrace.
Cocktail receptions: passed hors d’oeuvres, raw bars, and bartenders, perfect for sunset on the bay or a breezy evening by the ocean.
At-home weddings and milestone celebrations: anniversaries, birthdays, engagements, and vow renewals.
Waterfront entertaining: dinners and receptions by the pool, on the lawn, dockside, or on a residence terrace.
Holiday season and family celebrations: hosted holiday dinners and parties, graduations, and family gatherings.
Brunches and wellness gatherings: lighter, ingredient-focused menus for daytime events.
Catering Across Key Biscayne
We cater events throughout the Village of Key Biscayne, from waterfront homes on the bay side to oceanfront residences. Here are a few of the areas where we often work:
-
A gated, bayside enclave with waterfront homes and private docks. We plan menus and service that flow from the house to the water, and we coordinate gate access and vendor arrival in advance.
-
Waterfront homes along the canals and the sheltered waters of Hurricane Harbor, many with docks right outside. We design receptions and dinners that make the most of the water, whether guests gather on the lawn, by the pool, or dockside.
-
Family homes on quiet, tree-lined residential streets. A natural setting for garden dinners, birthdays, and relaxed outdoor receptions.
-
Condominiums and residences along the Atlantic side of the island. We work with building management on service elevators, loading docks, insurance certificates, and association rules so everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
Don’t see your neighborhood? We cater all across Key Biscayne and the greater Miami area, including Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Brickell, and Morningside. Just reach out and tell us about your event.
